Thanks for all the suggestions!
I went through a round of this BS with one real DB in Connecticut. He wanted $40 to ship the wheels but was going to do me a favor and allow me to pick them up for $20.

Well, I wasn't giving him $20 for the privilege of picking them up. We settled on $10, but not without some heated and nasty exchanges. The wheels were garbage anyway...........two of them went right into the dumpster.

I did find out, however, that the seller sets the rules...........he can demand any fee he wants...........or flat out refuse to allow pickup. You don't have any options other than to threaten him with no sale and take the feedback hit.
