Not really a rip-off, P&P always stood for Postage & Packaging. Of course, if he reuses jiffy bags like everybody else then yes, it's a scam!

perhaps ..... but jiffy bags dont cost 2 quid !

I think £1.20 is adequate postage and packing charge for a single figure 1st class.

I expect to pay less for 2nd class not more !!!

I found a "buy it now" on ebay for £5.99 but postage is £2.99 !

I dont mind paying £5.99 for a figure but with postage it totals nearly 9 quid !!!!

It dosnt matter how much I would like him, I refuse to pay that much postage for a single figure.

Even 2nd class recorded wouldnt cost much over a pound, plus 50p for a jiffy bag ?

so £2.99 for 2nd class !! he can F*** Right O** !

100% agree Andy. Why in gods name would you pay twice the value of the figure in freight. I just hang on till one arrives on ebay Aussie. Which is mucho rare mind you, Joe or AF.
