Speaker Sales on Audiogon

I recently listed my Tyler Acoustics for sale with the “buy now option” but had checked the box stating that shipping costs would be assessed after the sale, since I didn’t know how much to charge for shipping because I didn’t know where they’d ship to. I also stated this is my ad.  
Well, a gentleman bought them and he paid me an extra $100 without talking to me about shipping costs, but shipping these to his location is $300 via fed ex...  I sold the speakers at a low price of $699 and can’t justify $300 in shipping.  What do I do?

Also, Is it normally around $50 to sell something on Audiogon?  I paid all of my listing fees upfront ($30) and then Audiogon took another $20 when the item sold as a transaction fee, and on top of that, it looks like I still owe Audiogon $20...

thank you, I think? Lol

i will take you up on it next time brother.  Would have saved me $80.  Or me $40 and you $40 and we take our significant others out for dinner.

thanks though, I seriously will take you up on that :-)

@b_limo get your own FedEx account here:
https://www.shipnex.com/default.aspx

Should you ever need to use FedEx in the future. You can even schedule a pick up right from you home or ship freight if needed. Their fees are half the retail fees that the UPS or FexEx "stores" charge and always lower than FexEx/UPS online prices as well.

let us know how usps did... time, damage, etc. 


i pretty much try to stick with fed ex ground, insured, signature required.  


Expensive but reliable.... and you can usually go to their rate tables and good a good estimate of the cost.
