I agree, and I did leave my comment open to this.  I recently won scads 
of 45s and kids records from Darrell via esay and he combined shipping 
for actual costs just like he normally does over on the 78-C, and I also 
won three nice Columbia 15000s separately from one amateur seller for 
$1.50, $1.50, and $12.84 and she combined shipping.  But all too often 
there's only one record, such as when I do my Peter and the Wolf searching.
