Almost seems they sell for a few dollars less, but make the money up in
the shipping costs.. I just used the Buy-Now option on a Notebook
Dock and the Shipping for Priority is $8.00, This is just about right,
if you figure the cost of a good box, Tape, Packaging material...
But I also see $25.00 shipping for something like a Newton Size..
Guess, you have to check the whole page, or E-Mail prior to the Bid?.
Sell cheap, but Ship at $49.95.....
