For me, as I am from outside the USA, it is quite the other way around. Many times the shipping price noted in the ad is high enough to scare me off, even though I know that the rates are way to high for what they were on similar items I had shipped. For instance: I can't believe that a, say, USD 12 resin chassis would cost USD 40 (!!!) to send to The Netherlands. I really like the chassis but no way I'll pay USD 40 to get it here ...
