You should pull the pickups and sell them separately. Upgrading the pickups never helps the value of newer import stuff that much.
I already sold the original pickups (ESP LH-100s). They sucked (the LH100 pickups) and the guitar sounds much better with the JB/Jazz. I'd rather sell a guitar that works right out of the box than one without pickups.
Why is Parcel Post $70.40? :33:
That's the auto shipping estimator on ebay for ya. I put in the exact dimensions and weight.
You entered something in wrong. Parcel Post is the cheapest way to ship.
And probally the WORST way to ship!
Shipping Parcel post will put your Feedback in jeopardy becasue, it takes so long to reach its destination. I have had Parcel post shipments take 4 weeks to go from VA to NJ or VA to MI for example. Bro, these are not flukes, Parcel post shipments are the last thing USPS sends down the road. EVERYTHING else takes priority over Parcel post.
A guitar will cost more to ship via USPS than Fed-Ex or UPS anyway. Even Parcel post these days. USPS does not want to handle large items like that and they price their service so they dont usually have to.

Sold! $225. Life lesson: guitars are sometimes worth less after being modified.
:wow: I would've given more than that.:doh:
