The eBay Thread Almighty!

So I buy a large lot of moc/mib vintage turtles:
12 figures
11" Krang android
Party wagon
Sewer playset
Flushomatic
retrocatapult
Pizza Thrower

I originally emailed about shipping prices, because single shipping would add up to be ridiculous. He replied back with buy at least 5 ITEMS and the first is $6.00 others will be $2.00. Now I know he meant figures, even though he knew I was interested in the other larger, but I figured if he was willing to do this why not discount the bigger pieces.

I asked for the total and told me that the action figures were that discounted price not the playsets, and said I hope you weren't thinking in that manner.

Now, I did check usps prices for 70lb priority is $77, parcel $47, I could go with fedex (if he is willing) for probably much less since I have a discount with them that is quite generous.
Now I am pretty positive that these items will not reach 70lb, probably not even half of that. He did mention he has helpers helping him to package and sort his many items he says he has, so it is understandable to pay a little extra, but triple the price? No way. I am hoping he doesn't go down this path, because it is a headache I don't want to deal with.

Since when did combining auctions become such a burden? I love getting multiple items won by buyers less packing and less boxes used also less labeling.

I haven't heard back after telling about my options.
What do you think?
