Re: Shipping 5 times the price of the product?

I'd never buy from the guy. It just screams scam to me.

Years ago, we got a letter from a Ford Dealership saying that if we came in we would get one of 3 prizes. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how it could be a scam. We ended up with a $1000 shopping spree on a online shopping site. The deal was you had to spend all the money at once and the prize money didn't cover shipping. It turned out that shipping was about twice the value of any product. We looked at a couple things that we wouldn't mind having. Our total for the spree was less than $200. Shipping was over $500. I didn't proceed with the order and tossed out the certificate.
