Just wrap camo mesh around the shade frame and be done with it.

The buffalo and Johnny Cash got me TN. lol

I might make a shade. Just thought I could find something for 10-15 bucks with shipping. Found one that was decent for $5 but these ppl must be smoking something if they expect anyone to pay $40 shipping on a $5 lamp shade! What the heck!

I have noticed that a lot more on ebay, they post there product for really cheap to avoid the commish to ebay and then gouge on shipping to make up the difference. Basically they are getting the same price they normally would get but by doing it that way they avoid a huge portion of the commish that they would normally have to pay.

Ebay charges a % on the total sale including shipping charges. I think its more they dont know how to figure the shipping and if you let ebay calculate it it can be all fubar sometimes so really usps or whoever is shipping it is getting 40 bucks when it should be 10 os something.

Ok then they do it different then half.com which is linked to ebay since they own it. You only pay commish on the sale price on that sight. Then I dont know must be what you said cant take the time to figure out the real shipping cost
