Agree. I think we all know there are different classes of shipping. In this particular case, the listing says:-
US $44.03
United States
Economy Shipping (USPS Parcel Select Ground®)
No mention of insurance. It would be safe to assume the seller will have stated insured shipment if it indeed is insured since it is added value. Having said that, the seller may have to drive 20 miles to the nearest post office and decides that the costs of the gas should be included in the shipping in stead of being added to the value of the jacket.:D

Its showing $60 shipping for me!

Edit

$60.10 USPS priority from Anaheim to Chicago

Even more interesting is a Japan seller that is selling on ebay without grossly overinflated prices. I see some of the prices Japan sellers list and laugh. Then it turns to irk to see they have it listed for much less on yahoo jp or similar sites.

Ha, yes. Sometimes I chuckle, but more often than not I say to myself, "this seller is an ass".

Interesting. If I see that, the term arbitrage trading comes to mind. There are lots of ebayers listing things they see on Yahoo Auction JP and Taobao at a much higher price and if someone bites, the ebayer then buy the item on Yahoo or Taobao and have it delivered to the buyer. Kind of risk free trading.

Cool jacket, check out the remnants of some kind of a big patch on the back - racing number? Motorcycle gang? A steal if a
Buco, but def not J-100.
