And yet, I get to see ads for "for sale at...only - will not ship" and so on. To be honest, I've yet to see anything I couldn't live without, but still...if I'm a paying participant here, and folks are using this venue to advertise something for sale, shouldn't I have the same right to buy it as anyone? If the shipping is thought to be exorbitant, isn't that up to me as a buyer? And if you don't, as a seller, feel like packaging it or shipping it, then maybe you ought to offer it somewhere elsewhere. There.

That sounds like a very reasonable argument and I agree.
