Just an update to current postage costs. It costs more now to ship a video game or dvd than it used to. I don't personally do just one so not sure what I would charge but I know a few years ago it was 1.43 for media mail and now it is 2.38. I just went on usps.com to check and used my zip code and one in california and one in kentucky. first one is far from me (illinois) but second one is next door practically. so charging a dollar more or so for shipping costs is not out of range. boxes, packing material etc do cost money. for someone doing it once not so much but what if you were selling hundreds? You have to recoup costs somewhere. Note that I did not mention the fees. Technically you are supposed to make those from the sale price. (yeah right!) Interestingly enough to ship up to two pounds is only 2.77 for media mail. so depending on how many shipping would depend on cost for shipping. It didn't list first class cost but media is usually cheapest. it did list parcel post and for one pound it was 4.90 just to go to kentucky which is close to me.
