All of those companies' websites should be able to give you an estimated price, with the measurements required.

Usually it's UPS, with free insurance up to $250 (I think that's the amount) and free tracking. With Ground FedEX being second, but I'd double check those rates first. Also, the PO should be willing to give you a price if you take it in...

You shipping a midget? Make sure to poke holes in the box.

Kinda

Got it for free from a neighbor who was cleaning out his garage & sold it for $135 plus $100 shipping

Geez, between your Flea Markets and overly nice neighbors I GOTTA move to your area!

And the shipping should be half the $100 or so...

You'll save alot by using USPS.com or UPS.com. Take it to the post office or UPS store (if both are near you) to get exact measurement, weight, and price. Then go on the website and you'll see how much you save by doing it yourself online. When I shipped mine, I found that USPS saved me a little more $$$$ when I shipped a case of Chrome football out last year to a former MLB player (Horacio Ramirez formally of the Braves). He wanted me to overnight it and was willing to pay it.

I still play mvp baseball 2005 to this day, and when I do he's a frequent draft pick for my 4th-5th starter.

$108.23 parcel post plus $3 for insurance still great profit for a free item. had to build my own box for it though, that was a nightmare

selling junk always seems like a good idea... until you realize you actually have to send the stuff and figuring out how in the world am I going to pack this?!? I go through this all the time, so I feel your pain!

At least mine was sitting on the side of the road with a free sign. Still made over $100 profit for free
