Shipping
I'M NOT WHINING. I JUST WANT A VALID EXPLANATION. WHY DO SOME OF THESE SELLERS CHARGE SO MUCH FOR SHIPPING? I'VE SOLD ENOUGH STUFF ON EBAY TO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT SHIPPING SHOULD COST. UNLESS THERE WAS ALOT OF WEIGHT INVOLVED, NOTHING WAS EVER UNREASONABLE AS WHAT I SEE SOME LISTERS CHARGING. THE LAST HANDGUN I BOUGHT, THE SELLER WANTED $30 FOR SHIPPING AND INSURANCE. WHEN I GOT THE PACKAGE, THE MAILING RECEIPT INDICATED A CHARGE OF $10. INSURANCE WASN'T ON IT, HIS BAD. EVEN IF IT WAS, IT WOULDN'T HAVE AMOUNTED TO MORE THAN $5. THE BOX WAS A FREE USPS BOX. THE PADDING WAS AND OLD NEWSPAPER. SINCE IT DIDN'T COST $30 TO SEND IT, I AM ASSUMING YOU SELLERS POCKET THE PADDED FUNDS. WOULD SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS GAME WORKS?[:(!]

as im a new member on this site,i have to tell you, i really enjoy it . i look forward to looking to see what is new almost every day.there is something that is troubling me though, and, that is shipping costs .i only have two buys as of now, but intend to purchase many more .as my dad would say ,what the SAM HELL is going on , i pay 20-25 $ shipping and go to another seller and he wants 40-45$ shipping,GO FIGURE. i get a good bid on a gun and you add a high shipping rate ,and ffl(IF ANY),and ffl reg,getting the funds,and priority mail,it turns out that my good deal aint happening no mo. are we in the buying and selling or are we in the shipping business,help me understand,thanks,rusobr2 0 -
Classic gives you an estimate of shipping during the check out process; you don't finalize the order until after you know how much shipping to your FFL will be. I have never dealt with them, but, as with any other milsurp dealer, I would assume that their description of the gun I get will leave me slightly disappointed.
Jim makes a good point. I have a refinished Star Model B that, in retrospect, I wish I hadn't bought.
You may want to get a C&R, which makes it a lot easier to give into temptation.

Recently bought a star bm from them myself . First 9 mm I have ever owned , kind of a spur of the moment thing . Gun shop was as advertised when I got it locks up tight decent finish and more than adequate accuracy with s&b hardball . Am in the process of working up reloads with a Lee truncated cone 124 grain cast bullet. So far some feeding issues which I hope to resolve shortly. There is some pitting in the bore where it had been used at some point with corrosive ammo and not cleaned but doesn?t affect accuracy, at least so far. I ordered it thru the gunshop I work at and shipping was extra. I expect it may join my other pistols as a daily carry before long 0
