Everytime I throw something out a need for it arises. I had to mail out 2 bedspreads today and remembered that I had a plastic bag that shrink wraps items. Of course then I remembered that I just tossed it as I never used it. Alas, i may have to put them into 2 boxes using flat rate regional whereas they would have fit into the large flat rate one being compressed in the plastic.
I received a lot of messages requesting the buy it now option on a figurine. Several asked for me to send it first class international, lower the value on the custom form and mark it as a gift. I really find that most annoying. If I lower the value what happens if it never arrives. That sort of person doesn't sound like they would just say oh no problem I asked you to lower the value so you can just return the lower amount. Do they expect me to insure at my expense? Well I rejected all the buy it nows anyway as I don't see any advantage if there is great interest in an item.
