Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

The 4.95 box is pretty small, not sure it would fit in there. I think 8.95 or 9.95 is reasonable for shipping! If it costs less, you get a signature required so they can't say they didn't get it!

USPS ships for $4 with the flat rate box thing. It could always take $4 worth of handling to pay someone to put that in a box!!! LMAOLMAOLMAO
LOL! USPS PM shipping went up too - now the small flat rate box is $5.20, but the purse won't fit in that little box. It's just over 10" long, so would have to go with the medium flat rate box, which costs $10.95. Or, use a regular PM box, and shipping would be based on weight and location it's shipped to.

Since it is light, I think you are better off going by weight. She just needs a small box to fit it in. Shipping should be less than $10 even with sig required!

OMG, this is too funny! Now we are all going to be watching the auction to see what happens. Dabbs said he will bid, to get the price up, as long as you don't make him take it, if noone bids over him!

That's what I was thinking too - skip the flat rate, and go with regular Priority Mail shipping, which would still include delivery confirmation.

That is toooo funny! Too bad the purse isn't pink!!
Once I get the listing done & submitted, I will post a link here so we can all see what's happening with it.

I agree! When I worked for a clothing store, we could ship a pair of jeans for about 1/2 the flat rate price. They needed a med. box. And a purse is ligher and should be even less!

you really want me to work for this, don't you? do you know how much the package weighs? 8 ounces including the storage bag. trying to figure out shipping cost for the ebay listing.
Also, can you post a picture of the inside, and the storage bag so i can add those to the listing too. and here comes the problem. I have a digital camera which i used once before -- like a year ago. It requires 3 aaa batteries and i don't have any. The picture of the bag was just from my scanner into paint. I'm unable to scan the inside of the purse, and as the storage bag is three times the size of the purse, it's too big to be scanned. The best i could do is the following (2 sizes of same scan)

Perfect! Thanks so much!! Sorry, don't mean to make you work for it, but I just needed a little additional information.
Is the inside a beige ultra suede like material like the current listing on ebay?
Think we will just charge a flat $8 for shipping, Priority Mail, not flat-rate box.
Will that be a problem for you? You said last night that the PO was close to your house.

OMG I can't wait to see how much it goes for! Anything over $10 is a winner. Plus, we haven't had this much fun in a long time! This is great. How many days you putting it on auction for. At least 7?
