This is one time I don't mind paying large shipping charges on EBay

[CatWoman]

I just bought this cat tree:



My winning bid was $10.50. Shipping is $73.42. Grand total: $83.92

Ordinarily I stay away and/or shun large shipping fees. But this is completely reasonable, in that the starting bid was only .99.

Similar cat trees at Pet Smart and Pet Co go for AT LEAST $299.

P.S. hat tip to the DUers who turned me onto this Ebay seller :hi:

2. I've been thinking of bidding on these...

but I was worried that they might not be very sturdy. When it arrives, let us know how it is! :hi:

I am glad you are getting that.

I thought you had ordered a bulk shipment of baked potatoes. :D

5. ZOMBY!!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

Remember when you told me that you bought Futurama's 4th season? The one with the Star Trek episode?

I just got it.

I'm about to wear that DVD out.

That episode is the funniest thing going!!! :D

[Zomby Woof]

6. I did?

I don't have any Futurama on DVD.

But I love the show, and that episode, so I will take the credit anyway! :loveya: :D

8. Looks like you're going to have some very happy kitties on your hands.

[CatWoman]

12. Maybe I should by one of those.

I might get a decent night's sleep with the cats playing on that instead of chasing eachother up and down the stairs. x(

15. Awesome! Now only if they built a full-scale model for humans...

I'd be happy for some time.

But, until then, there's that brown paper bag...

17. there are certain times when it's just unavoidable

I once shipped a 30-lb cement satirical lawn ornament of George W. Bush to friends in Texas. The freight was a killer, BUT they were so thrilled that it was definitely worth it. That was several years ago, and they still talk about it! If you cannot get the item any other way, or if the overall differential is significant (as in your case with the cat tree), it becomes part of the total cost and one has no regrets.

18. Serendipitous!

I was just weaving in and out of threads when I found this one--was amazed at the piece and the price it went for, checked the buyer on Ebay, and came out with this 2 minutes ago:






73 inches tall, looks like fun...

Winning bid?

0.99 cents

I paid 69.50 total.

My kitty is in for a treat.

19. I got that one last year

from the same people on e-bay...the cats live on the top and the cubby while the ferrets took over the rest of it. It was suppose to be a place the cats could get away from the ferrets and after about a week they divided it up into territories and all love it. Was easy to put together and still in great shape though I did replace the hanging toys with ferret safe ones.
