Re: Die-cast 67-72

I went on Ebay this weekend and got what I think is an unbelievable deal on the new black '67. I guess they're not new yet, since they don't come out till '16 . Bidding started at $1.50 a pair and he had two pair available. There was only about an hour left with no bids. Shipping for a pair was $3.15, which is reasonable compared to what I'm used to seeing. I sent him a note requesting combined shipping and went ahead and bid. I won them w/o combined shipping since he didn't have a chance to see my note. Oh well, $9.30 comes out to about $2.33 a piece so not too shabby. Then he sends a message apologizing for not seeing my request before bidding ended and gave me a $2.90 refund. So total was the same amount as both shipping charges, $6.30. That's only $.25 more for the second pair shipping and $1.58 a piece! Not bad for an early bird deal, and I was willing to wait. I was surprised no one else bid on these. I got four of them including shipping for less than what some are asking for just one before shipping. The funny thing is I hadn't been on Ebay for weeks and I know there are people who scour everyday. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know how happy I am with that. I have all I need in one buy, on to the next!
