I know how you feel about the yard sale......I hate having them anymore. Not when you can sit at home and wait till the E-bay auction is over. And in most cases you get more for the items then you would at a yard sale.

Just weigh your item, go to USPS web site to figure out cost. We have found that their site is almost always on the mark, price wise. We usually add $1, $2 or so to that price for the tracking and in case they where off some. It almost always works out perfect for us. Out of thousands of items we have shipped, I can only think of 3 or 4 times their site was wrong.

Just make sure in your add, you say shipping and handling, for those few that want to complain because you might have charged them .50 cents to much.
