Dennis,

Knowing I could not have made the purchase at less than the $8 I eventually paid for it on eBay, I had no issue with the seller making a buck or two.

Like you, Stan uses the outer cartons from my HL purchases to ship his eBay sales. Saved him (and his buyers) some money recently as I went a little nuts and bought all the lights HL has made that are on the Great Lakes. (We're going on the WILD trip in August and hope to photograph the "Real McCoys.") Had around 35 or 40 pieces arrive here which he turned around and used to ship sales he'd made for one of his clients. My son's moving and asked if we had any boxes he could take. In unison, the answer was a resounding "NO!"
