The bid is already at one cent. And it will cost me 6 bucks to ship to canada which is why I don't ship to canada. lol

Question from member here at namepros
Item: A box of Air. (5650672758)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
namebuys is a potential buyer.



Where was this air packaged? Can you let me know the air quality or polution levels it contains?

Keenen, you may want to make it more clear that the book is not included with the auction. You have a big photo of the book so chances are you'll have a few who bid thinking they are getting the book as well...then you'll have to deal with them after they realize it's not part of the auction and they are just receiving an empty box of air...

Thanks Chris,

I'll make sure I make that a bit more clearer.

The box comes filled with plastic baggies filled with air. So it's not completely empty.

Nope..

It costs more than $1.25 to ship a box priority mail.

Yes, but you gained a positive feedback. Next time, try charging for shipping.
