Hi everyone,

Interesting topic. I have purchased over 30 HLs since last Sept. Most have been shipped to me from all over the country.
My experince has been that the HL retail dealers are the most reasonable. Usually $ 5-$7. Some actually ship free over $50 which isn't hard to do with HLs.
The secondary market dealers I've dealt with have been $8 -$10.
I have noticed on e-bay that some of the shipping charges seem excessive. It annoys me that the seller is trying to make a profit on that too. Some of the marketplace sellers fall into this category.
If it is a common/new HL it shouldn't cost any more than what the HL retailer ship for about $5-6.
If I see a $10 shipping fee it turns me right off unless it is a rare HL or a tremendous deal. The reverse is true too, if I see $5 S+H on e-bay or the marketplace and the HL price is right I want to buy from that person because I don't feel I'm getting ripped off on shipping charges.
