I am reeling over the fact that an Ebay seller who I won several movie pressbooks from is charging me almost $600.00 for postage.

And I am between a rock and a hard place as I really, really want these items (vintage Bollywood pressbooks from the 30s thru 60s), and I got them for a song.

I have bought many, many items from India over the last few years and price for postage is most certainly NOT that much! Even for a giant, heavy box of memorablia (and I know!).

What??

$600?? Did you win several separate auctions and the listed shipping adds up to $600 or is something else going on??

That's ridiculous. Have you emailed him asking him about it? $60 maybe--maybe! But $600? Never. I ship stuff all over the world (including heavy items) and that's absurd.

Here is a nice article about Bryan Batt and his bedroom in New Orleans.

It is PDF.

I am appalled a DR MBARNUM's experience with shipping. How was shipping to be calculated according to the auction?

Topic of the Day (continued):

Just arrived in my mail box, here at work: four, count 'em FOUR CDs from PS Classics for the low price of $49.95: Liz Callaway's "Passage of Time," Rebecca Luker's "Greenwich Time," Kate Baldwin's "Let's See What Happens" (the songs of Lane & Harburg) and the world premiere recording of Kitty's Kisses! I had actually ordered these on Amazon.com and with tax would've been almost $62. But with PS Classic's special, they were $9 less! Less is good! So, I cancelled Amazon's order (which I wouldn't have gotten for another two to three weeks) and ordered direct.

I have just been informed that it was 26 today in the Twin Cities, and that we may be flying into snow. $:-\$

I guess Disney does not like Betty White anymore when I see how ridiculous her character is in that dreadfull THE PROPOSAL!

And some think that Miss Bullock is the new Katharine Hepburn! Gee! I wonder then where that compliment goes?!

I say "no" to the proposal, while I did enjoy 49 Dresses (Was this the right title?) which was no master piece but had a great actress who's, in my book, wittier than Miss Bullock.

Just my deux sous! ;-)

$600 shipping is ridiculous and I'm pretty certain eBay, if notified, will contact the seller and tell them so. I don't know how much stuff you bought, but it doesn't cost six hundred bucks to ship a CAR let alone a box. I'd drop the seller a note - if the shipping charge was not specified in the actual auction item page, he's in trouble.

Finally home from mixing and a little quick Pasta Papa at Hugo's. Mix went really well and the album sounds great - I have to figure out the sequencing now.

So glad to read such wonderful reports from the dress and first preview of Finian's Rainbow. And thanks for the photo of the show curtain - I like that!

Finian wears a dress?

And 48 to go!

Yes, but I think she moves, looks and acts better...
(Oh, I have to look for her name, out of sheer decency!)

Not to say Miss B. is not a good actress but, when reading the script for The P. she should have said "no"!
Of course the "pay" was incentive ...

François · « **Reply #119 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:00:14 PM »

27 Dresses!

Ooops!

Inflation's so fast!
