No, they're short scale!

£4 to post? Are they made of lead?

Aye, there's the rub.

[gjones]

Is that a sneaky way of getting around ebay fees?

99P start.

Would be interesting to know why you think the stated delivery fee (in fact £4.99) is unsupportable? Delivery service simply states "Other Courier", but assuming seller is requiring a signature on receipt then the fee isn't unrealistic. Human nature being what is is, if the seller simply dropped any items sold in an envelop and in the standard Royal Mail service, sure he'd be inundated with "undelivered package" refund claims.

I stand corrected - £4.99. Having sent several things recorded delivery myself, I am fairly certain that it would not cost £5 all bar a penny to post a set of bass strings recorded, let alone a set of guitar strings. I have recieved several items that have been considerably larger and heavier (Necks, Tuners etc) that have been posted recorded and have cost aproximately the same or slightly less (£5.98 in the case of the neck) to post. However it is down to personal choice if someone is willing to hope the auction end price plus postage makes them a good buy. I reserve the right to raise an eyebrow.
