I dont add tax, and if its free it depends on the sale, if its free free I mark 0.00, if its buy one get one I split the differance. At my local video store its 3 for 20 so I split he differance sort of, making it 6.65 each.

I use a similar system. I don't add tax or shipping, and when it's a get one free I divide the costs between all discs bought and total price (pre-tax/shipping) divided. Lots of $6.66 titles from Gamestop's never ending dvd sale.

Other things, like some discs that were mail-away offers back in the day, which made me remove UPC codes from other disc(s) just go in at what shipping was (since they weren't really free, esp. after damaging other cases/covers. Shipping on top of price is one thing, shipping on top of ripped covers is quite another in my book. ).

I do include shipping costs and (if applicable) customs charges, because they reflect what the DVDs are actually costing me. I evenly divide them over the number of DVDs I bought. The same goes for "buy 2, get 1 free" sales and the like.

I look at shipping the same as gas used to get to the store, and I really don't feel like calculating the fuel for a trip to Best Buy

I don't add shipping costs either. The only problem with that is some online stores include shipping costs in the price, others don't, so their prices are not really comparable unless you sum shipping costs to the prices that don't include them.

If you think US fuel prices are "insane", try filling up over here.
One liter = € 1.509 = $ 2.328
That's $ 8.8124 for a US gallon. 

The problem with this is that here in the U.S., unless you live in a large metropolitan area, most of us don't have access to public transportation to get to and from work. Private transportation is our only option. I lived in Europe almost 1/2 my adult life and I must admit I was thouroughly impressed with the public transportation systems there. When I lived in Spain, for example, my wife received a public transportation supplement to get to and from work. We hardly ever used our car while we lived there. We either took the bus or the subway. Right now, here in California, I'm paying $3.67 a gallon for regular unleaded and at 60 miles a day round-trip to and from work, it's really starting to hurt.

Count me in on this one.

...and me too.


However, in the beginning I used to split and I did it evenly (each disc got its even share). But then I realized that I was paying over SRP for practically everything and so I dropped that habit. Besides, as mentioned above, shipping charges are incidental.
