It is someone here. Not me though.
Deal |
I'm so sick over pennies....I frequently trade a dime or two for the whole "take-a-penny" container if sufficient coppers exist. That will get you some odd looks. |

| Yeah, I saw that one... I think his mistake was not taking paypal- it's amazing how that diminishes the number of bidders you have. |

I didn't accept PayPal at first either. When I finally gave in, I saw a significant increase in bidding activity. Now about 90% of my winning bidders pay with PayPal. Yes, the fees aren't much fun, but with the price of gas neither is driving across the river to cash a check, or depositing it and waiting 3 days for it to clear. |

Hi all,
Yea, it was me!!!!
I guess I have that dubious honor----
I would have taken paypal if it had gone higher, but not at $3.
It was listed on the ebay part of this forum...

| Wags, I sympathize. |
A materialistic society cannot afford credit, it will inevitably implode.
Life and success are a "do it yourself" thing |

Don't feel bad wags.. it happens to all of us. It was a really rough week. I had a BU box of 2006-D zincers sell below face. I will probably end up paying PayPal fees as well as the eBay fees on that one.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

Hi all,
Well, I felt bad about only making like .89c net on the whole thing, but then I started running my hands through the hundreds of wheats I've rescued from circulation- Cheered me up!
Always next time.

| Yes, the wheats would cheer me up too. Or maybe a wild injun. |

| A few weeks ago, I won two auctions: both at $66 and that's including shipping - that was 1.32 X - and it's getting even lower. There's absolutely NO way I would sell ANY copper memorials right now. BUY BUY BUY |
