Well first of all I dont believe it costs 2 million for the shipping.After all USXP is a shipping company. It's 2 trucks on a cross country trip.There was a 20% premium placed per item. If it were me I would add in the shipping cost in that premium but I'm not sure he did that.I believe the majority of that covers the auctioneer with the Ebay costs being bourne by the auctioneer since it was their auction plan. Like I said this is just my opinion but plausible. I wanted to get one of the platinum albums but Ebay was so screwed up I couldnt get on.
