Most of the time I onl get shipping for the oldies but on occasion I'll ask for
a few bucks to cover the time involved in getting it packed and down to the post
office as well. On other occasions I maight make 5 bucks over but it's rare on
the oldies that you can make a profit anyway. The 386SX and up I can turn a few
dollars since they're still in the realm of everyday use.
