Hi David: I wish to offer my perspective to the list on this issue, as an occasional seller of things. Here's why - compare shipping versus having somebody magically come to your door and take the bag, which should be free of charge. You have to procure a box, pack up the bag into the box, possibly apply packing materials and tape, fill out a shipping label, go to the post office, pay for postage, either pay for insurance or take the risk that it won't arrive (self-insuring), deal with confirming arrival.... Compared to a no-ship transaction, a reasonable mind might conclude that the cost of all this handling is way more than $10.00 above the cost of shipping. One might eat this cost if making profit on the item otherwise, but there's no way you could pay me $10 to take this on for you.
