For sure one must look at all costs when selling whether in business or private sales. Also I feel one must learn patience,,, the buyer did what you agreed,,, sent you the money in a timely fashion and you shipped in timely fashion.
The patience I refer to is this,,,although you didn't name him,,, now you have made a rant in the open forum towards him without knowing if he actually has knowledge of your dilemma of miscalculation of the shipping,, it wasn't his fault,,, you admit it was yours, but you have implied that he is not thankful of you and should have helped on the cost.
I guess what I'm saying is this fellow did nothing wrong for you to rant on him here about this deal on which you both had agreed on.

I've sold a lot of chit on forums/ebay... I'd say check the confirmation number and see if it was delivered- if so, grow a pair and forget about it. Once I sold something where I underestimated the shipping so much that it cost more to send the item then money I recieved for it. $hit happens, you just gotta take the fall for it. To be honest with you, if someone did that to me, I wouldn't fling them more cash because I already had a price agreed upon.
Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it.

So after I got my V&H softail duals for my bike, I decided to sell my BSS. Long story short I sold them to someone here (who will remain nameless). He sent me a USPS money order for the amount agreed upon and I got the pipes out the same day. Only problem was shipping cost me a lot more than I had estimated. Because of the shape and weight of the box and the packing stuff I had to buy the shipping came out to be $120.00, well that's really my fault since I didn't investigate the price better. Well I PM him after I sent the pipes out with the tracking number so he can see when and where they are. I also asked if he could kick me a few more buck for cost of shipping that would be great, but if not I understand because we already agreed upon a price. Well 5 days later, I haven't even gotten a thanks for sending the pipes or anything from the guy. Now it is entirely possible that he hasn't logged on and so on, but if I sent some guy I didn't know a money order for a fair amount of money, I would be checking my email and the forum many times a day to see when they were sent. I don't know. In the end a few more bucks for shipping would have been cool but understandable if he didn't want to send any more money because of our agreement, but at least a thanks for shipping them out and not stiffing the guy would have been nice. Ok off rant now, have a good day.

I did the same thing with a set pipes I shipped to someone else on this board. Only in this case, when I told him the price for shipping was more than twice as much as I thought, he send me the extra money minus $10.00 I agreed to eat. Great guy, and great doing business with him. Hope he likes the pipes!

Chris, are your PM's working properly?
I sent you a PM a few days ago asking you if you'd mind taking a couple measurements of your Daytona 3/4 helmet, and didn't receive so much as a "f*ck you" back. Maybe you're not receiving PM's.

Everyone needs to be aware of the shipping costs forlarge shaped boxes.
I just got some handlebars and cables from someone, I figured the shipping would be around $20-25, I was guessing 15lbs. Imagine my surprise when he told me it was around $75, the weight was only 12.5 lbs. but the box waslarge which jacked the cost up.
It happens.
You can go to UPS.com on-line and check the cost before you agree to something.
My $0.02.
