'Cept you have reminded me that this is to California - I will change the shipping to variable. Thanks for spotting that.

[EDIT] Done. And it calculates shipping to 90001 as $150.66, but to 22101 (VA) as only $138.
Wow. Then you may want to say that in your auction (you probably do, but I haven't looked). Highlight it in bold and invite them to do the calculations themselves, etc. I know I wouldn't think twice about an auction, even for a computer, that had that amount of shipping. If I knew it was actual shipping costs, it'd be a different story.
