Yeah? Well whats your secret? 55 pounds, insurance, original 30x34x16 box - and mine costs nearly 3 times that with the same service.

I explained the calculations near the end: using original box, so no packing fee, and added $30 for insurance up to $2,100.

I have looked at other Alienware desktop auctions, and for some reason, it is usually around $60, or $150. I wonder what the guys shipping for $60 are doing differently than the guys shipping for $150...

On the other hand, I have 3 watchers
