I've heard about a lot difficulties about the price of shipping items
purchased at auctions - any type of auctions.

Best thing to do is to ask up front if possible. I was able to do this for
an Australian auction where I bid over the Internet.
The final cost of shipment was pretty close to what was quoted before the
auction.

I know this doesn't help your situation, but it's something for anyone to
think about for future auctions.

Best of luck in finding another shipping agent.

> Ok.. so I get my shipping quote from Bonhams LA for last weekends auction,
and I was a bit surprised by the shipping charges that they came up with.
Has anyone else had difficulty negotiating with them? I am currently in the
process of locating a reliable 3rd party agent, if anyone has a
recommendation.
