OP

Quoted from ovfdfireman:

I really don't understand the need to make assumptions and claim to be the expert, when in this case you have limited information. I have an extensive business background, and quite frankly know exactly what my Ebay fees are. I also know exactly what it costs to ship a new pin (I get a bill every month). Please don't assume you know my costs (which are none of your business)
I will however disclose what every power seller should know, Ebay offers discounts to volume sellers, in some cases their services are free. If you use Paypal as your merchant you receive discounts there as well. If you ship volume UPS and UPS freight gives you substantial discounts. Your cost calculations are nowhere near correct.....but you know what they say about people that Assume.
Reality is this, to buy it on Ebay it's $7995, to buy it here its $7695. Buy which ever one you find most attractive. What my costs of processing are really have nothing to do with the purchase. Do you go to Walmart and ask if you get your milk 3% cheaper because you didn't use your credit card?
Definitely the first time I have received flack for a discounted price.
