There's a guy in eBay selling a little bike part and charging 4x the item value for shipping. The item is a tiny tiny thin set of Belasi (sp??) cable protectors. They are very thin and you twist them on exposed cables to help prevent paint damage to frame from cables. The cost of item is usually less that $2 but the shipping is $8 or more !!!! The item is so small it could easily be put in a small envelope and sent first-clas mail for the cost of one stamp. That's the worst one I have ben involved in. I bought the item and seller was insulted I insisted the shipping was out of line. I sent his $1.50 for shipping and he sent it first class mail, and then complained about it in the feedback exchange !!!

Some guys advertise $80 - $100 to ship a bike. I'm in KY and have shipped FedEx to Oregon, WA, and CA for around $35. On the bikes I think those sellers are usually uninformed or think the only way to ship is UPS - which would be $80 plus.
