I hear ya Chris.
I have quit bidding on cans when shipping listed is over $9.00 [even on full cans].
Some sellers act like they make a Special trip for every item sold, to PO or UPS, when most are shipping from Home. Get a job outside of home where ya have to buy gas to go to work.
I've had sellers ask for feedback 1st. B.S. I refuse to leave Feedback 1st as a buyer, so my # is low. WHOOPIE.

Anyone wanting me to repair mailed [ebay/other] cans, have them mailed to me [to save some on shipping, just let me know to expect them]. I'll repair & mail them out to you. Usually mailed out within 1 week [Stover's was an exception, Sorry Tom ]. Send me a Doz cans [or re-lids] for repair & I'll PAY the return shipping.
