Hi. The only way I can lower the starting bid is to ask for shipping. I only List NEW items and a fantastic variety that caters to a certain belief system. I am not cleaning out my closet. It's an expense. The nice thing is many of my bidders stick with me because they like my items and my stellar reputation.
The GIN should be much higher but I guess I was feeling generous when I listed this. It all works out because more and more people place multiple bids so there are times I can ship a couple wins together.
