I don't normally sell heavy items but the typewriter was too good to just dump. Really. It had a memory, a little viewing screen, and was perfect for somebody who didn't quite need a computer. I was told it went to an elderly cancer patient. I don't know if that was true, although I can't imagine anyone would spend $70 on a 25-year-old obscure-brand typewriter and lie about it, but I hope it has a good home.

Other than that, anything bigger than an average shipping box goes to Goodwill or gets sold to the used book people. Not worth the effort. I sold a large-ish painting once and the guy bitched at me because I had to charge him for the oversized box, and then couldn't mail it until Tuesday after the auction closed because it was over a federal holiday weekend. He had 1 feedback so I figured he was a newbie and told him how the eBay world worked, after which he apologized. Goober. Actually, I really don't care as long as you don't screw up my feedback.
