You are bursting our bubble. It is life in the slow lane when you get excited over discount envelopes.
I thought I was the only one who gets excited over cheap offices supplies. I have a walk-in closet stuffed to the ceiling with stuff I got on clearance at Staples. Every time I use something that I paid almost nothing for I feel like I am making money.
Got my 2 dimes yesterday on my 2 accounts and the seller threw in a free Canadian dime to boot. $.50 for 2 silver Roosevelt's and one silver Canadian. A win win for both the buyer and the seller
The $3.01 silver dime was me, I hope everyone gets theirs safely.
And boy, that was a mistake. I had a bunch of dimes sitting around, so I thought that this would be a great opportunity to sell them at three bucks a pop. They were worth about a buck apiece, so easy money for me.
Well, I didnt have enough on hand, so I had to buy a couple of dozen at an inflated price from the pawn shop to complete the orders.
I didn't figure on about $60 on Paypal fees and $38 in eBay fees. And stamps. Oh well, I'll still see about a $60 profit.
I figured I would have the girlfriend's kids write the addresses and stuff the envelopes, but they refused, so I had to waste about 3 hours doing that myself. If everybody gets theirs and I dont have to issue refunds, I should net about zero.

Glad I could throw some business your way and glad you could take advantage of the ebay coupon.
To be honest, though, it only arrived by the skin of its teeth. It had slipped out if the 2x2 and was loose in the envelope. It had not punched through so it was still there.
My only recommendation is to buy yourself done discount postage off ebay. If you don't mind licking and sticking you can get old sheets of stamps for about 50 or 60% of face value, so you can increase your margins.
Yes and Yes ......... sometime it is not worth driving to "town" 29 miles away for office supplies when I can have it delivered while I sip my beverage in the pool
