Stick with the $50. !! Chances are she will offer less anyway !! If you stay with the $40. that would be plus postage and a small handling fee,, say $2.50 unless you have free stuff for packing !! I save my plastic sacks from store purchases !! Best packing I ever found and they weigh almost nothing !! I use them for everything !! Never had anything damaged or broken !!
