He paid $850 for them. $850 / 24 = $36 without shipping. $55 shipped seems very reasonable to me. Asking for $35 - $45 with shipping means he would be losing money on the deal, which is asking a bit much in my opinion.

Actually, I paid $860.00 for the case. And you are absolutely correct. $35 to $45 shipped is just not realistic. I shipped out one of these today and the shipping cost if packaged correctly is anywhere from $8.50 for parcel post and $13.00+ for Priority Mail & that's not including any additional services; Delivery Confirmation etc.., and it also depends on where it's being shipped. That makes a difference as well. I'm just not gonna throw one of these in a padded envelope and leave it to the mercy of the mail system!
That means at '$35.00 shipped' I'm gonna ship one of these and I'll net around $25.00 for the figure! What??!! Show me anywhere on the internet where you can purchase a 'fresh out of the case' NEW carded '6 face' Klingon for $25.00 + shipping! Besides, if I was buying, I'd have NO problem paying a premium for a carded figure that hadn't been handled and changed owners for literally years! Yes, I know that these are 'common' figures, but literal brand new ones out of the shipping case certainly aren't!
The bottom line is that I'm barely making anything at all selling these at $55.00 'shipped'. But I'm doing it as a favor, but if I have to lose $$$, then I'll just keep them.

What Bryan did a few years ago was very generous of him and he is a great guy! Members here cannot expect the same from MDVZ06. Give him a fair shake and if you do not agree with his prices, then just move on. $55 shipped is not a bad price for a Case Fresh Klingon.
