It is someone here. Not me though.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| 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...

I love Cents. If you get an UNC box, you win. If you get a regular circ. box, you win. If you get a zinc box, you don't lose....so you still win. |

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.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |

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 |
