I suggest you ship for free I feel like you would get more bidders based on my experience I have very successful auctions because I was willing to pay for shipping, you really have a great item here and could benefit more in your auction if you pay for shipping
Would be helpful if you can answer some of these questions - plus it may get you more credits. Leary about bidding because sometimes people get on here thinking they will get credits for doing an auction but they don't realize if the person doesn't receive the item the seller doesn't get their credits and a few times I have bid on items that were never sent to me. Even though listia will refund the credits it is still a hastle to have to go through and wait. I'd like to have confidence that this is not one of those auctions but when a seller doesnt answer questions its a good sign that they don't plan on following through. Hopefully that is not the case here.
