This is awesome. I just found someone in my area on craigslist who is offering to buy copper cents for $0.02. Since I just started I don't have much but I figure if I sort extra hard for the next few weeks I'll be able to get 5000 or so pennies and sell them to that guy for enough to be able to buy a Ryedale Ace. With my Ace I' will eventually save up enough to cash in and buy an Apprentice so I can actually start saving them for the future.
I just started and my (tiny) hoard is already paying off. I'm pretty excited!

Congrats on finding a buyer. I know that's exciting for you.
Shattered...the time spent with your mom as she drives you from bank to bank is so much more of a treasure than any amount of money you will ever earn sorting coins. Enjoy every moment you can spend with her. |

I'm sure if you can't sort enough there are plenty of members here that could send you whatever amount your buyer wants at a lower price and you could just rake in the profit to fund your Ryedale purchase.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| Good idea HCBTT. Buy at 1.4 and sell at 2. Nice little arbitrage there. |

| I with Penny Pauper. I'd be happy to sell a box full to someone at 1.4 cents shipped if they can turn it into 2 cents. |

| Hopefully the seller was wanting more than one box or bag of copper cents. It'd be nice if they wanted $1000 worth of copper cents and were paying in cash! Keep us updated. |
