That seems rather dumb, especially if shipping + handling is outrageous. I am sure you realize everyone ain't as honest as you and I. Case in point: I had a set of pistons, a member wanted them, said he "I will take them". I boxed them up, checked with ups, fedex, usps. Got the lowest price. No upcharge, straightforward shipping plus cost of pistons. He decided he could get a better deal somewhere else. I have also had a member sell a used piece rather cheap, but shipping + handling was so outrageous (that's where he made up the cash for his low price). So that's my personal reason for showing my interest the way I did. No gimmicks.
