You guys think this is a legit shipping price? They're getting crazier each time I look it seems! I seriously hope this was just an error and not an actual charge.

Perhaps (s)he was going to bring the Concorde back into service for a First Class Delivery. $14,000? Looked like a piece of dung to me! Devinci on a coin? Modern Marvel indeed!

Well, I see that the seller has now relisted it with a Buy It Now price of only $150,000.00 and this time he's offering free shipping...

It may be "real" but I don't think it's actually a coin. Or particularly ancient, for that matter.

It's a modern (damaged) cast medal with applied "patina". It has medieval text on one side, modern sans-serif on the other.

I bet he thought he could skip ebay invoice fee by having a high shipping charge and someone informed him that ebay fee now includes Shipping charges.

Why all the problems with that shipping cost?
Don't you all realize it is to be shipped by USPS? They really need the money. So slowly they are raising the rates to cover all their latest great services. The cost of making US Postage stamps has grown too. The New cars used by the mail services has to be paid for somehow.
AND mostly you must realize that all the new improvements in their service demands higher costs.
