I don't care what the shipping cost is. If it is listed in the auction a buyer/bidder agrees to it. If you don't like it you shouldn't bid/buy. You could contact the seller before bidding or buying and ask if there is a less expensive way to ship but in my opinion wanting to haggle over $5-$10 is a little childish. If the price including shipping is more than you are willing to pay, just walk away. I have only sold a couple of guns online and they have been pleasant experiences. If anything I want to under-represent the gun because I've been on the other side of opening up a box and seeing something that isn't quite as "like new" to my eyes as it was the seller's.
