Your having a giraffe with the postage !

Tell you what, get a quote for an 8Kg parcel that's 2m long and 30cm across. Then add on the cost of a few metres of bubble wrap and packing tape (all of which I'll be buying). Then tell me the charges are out of kilter. Actually, I'll save you the time. Parcelforce, £52.99 plus VAT. Bubble wrap £8, Packing tape £1. Total £72.59.
You'll also note that I'm allowing pickup (and positively encouraging people to do so), so it's got nothing to do with a reserve. Plus a reserve of £50 would be pointless on something that's six months old and several hundred pounds new. Plus, listing fees of a couple of quid are hardly going to deter me.
Really, the quality of posts in this place is becoming pathetic.
