I have found USPS to be good.

Rikki - I hear you - when something is not being used, it's best to get it to someone who can use it. So I will move out a couple keyboards soon.

Rikki - thanks for the tip on Ebay! I discovered that I can get the final selling fees waived for up to 3 items since I have not sold on Ebay in a while!

Also, it appears there may be a discounted shipping rate available for eBay sellers with USPS, UPS, and FEDEX... have to investigate this but in the "Calculate Shipping" section of Ebay, they show "discounted rates" of about 40% for eBay shippers as long as you link your eBay and USP/USPS/FEDEX accounts.
I will continue to study this in case I have any success....

Thanks again to all for the input!

Hi Randy,
I think you will have to activate the deal, and it may have a limited time span. Just double check. Also be careful with relist option. If item gets relisted it counts against your 3 freebies.
I sold a heap of my Teds last year because we were moving , and I think they gave me 10.
Saved a heap on the fees.
They sent me the same deal this year, so, unless I missed something in the fine print, I think I got my keyboard thru as a freebie. Plus a few more teds. Haha

Hi Rikki - thanks again! Yes, the deal expired last night at midnight so I got in under the wire! Definitely would save me some $$$$ if the boards sell. Thanks again!

That’s great Randy,
fingers crossed. Still keep an eye out for further deals, sometimes they send more.
