one last comment and I'm done - I could not agree more that $16 is too much to spend on shipping but its not the $10 price of the item that should be the focus. Especially since I'm hoping that will increase. Rather, its the fact that that item only weighs 3.6lbs!! Who is setting those prices and how they justify them - I don't have clue nor do I have any control. And, for the record, since you brought it up, I don't go looking for steins to sell - While treasure hunting, I may stumble upon a stein that catches my eye - I may buy them even if I don't want them for my own collection and I'll put them out on the chance that someone else may want them for their own. I am a collector first and a trader second. Frown on that practice if you will, but I'd warrant that's the way most steins have been acquired. My best and favorite ones have been handed down from old family - but I now have a very nice collection comprised of ones obtained in just the way described above. Is there something wrong in this practice, I ask. Don't answer. I've taken enough of your time and patience on this subject and I appreciate both more than you'll know. Cindy
