The second auction that ended a couple of days later, I didn't ask the seller how much the shipping charges would be since he charged me a resonable amount the first time, I assumed he wasn't going to jack me on the shipping charges. Boy was I wrong, I won the auction for a $110 coin he charged me $8.50 for shipping and insurance. I refused to send him the extra money for the shipping charges, I already sent a PayPal payment of $110 + $3.50 for shipping. He held the coin for ransom until I sent him the money.
Too bad for Mr Fairtraderz though, at the time my brother asked me to assemble a collection of MS FBL Franklins for him. I completed the set for him, minus the 53 FBL. It was a lot of fun to spend someone elses money. It was even better knowing it wasn't going to Unfairtraderz. I guess excessive shipping charges is worth a couple thousand dollars in sales. Please note: These transactions occured prior to the recent USPS rate increase.

Express now only comes with $100 insurance.

express mail with 200.00 insurance would be about 13.00?

I've bid recently at what I thought were reasonable levels on some of his, and didn't even hit the reserve. I did not even get the usual email after, revealing the reserve and wanting to negotiate, that sellers do who are trying to duck fees. So I can't really figure out the point of his putting them up there. Makes me presume he's just trying for retail, and that there are no bargains there.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
They have nice pics, and decent assortment of stuff. I try to pick up 2 or 3 items, and then negotiate on the shipping charges (which are high).
Overall, A1, especially compared to the other major sellers on eBay...

A week later.. I finally received it!! Although they were apologetic that I didnt receive it timely, they siad there was nothing they could do about the delay and they were sorry. , I wanted to return it as it wasnt as nice as the scan, but didnt want to deal with the hassle. The next day I saw a similar item, priced about the same with only $6.50 for shipping.
What can I say.. but.. I dont think its right.
end of the rainbow or a dead end?

What does it take? You know the coin. You know the price. You know the S,H&I. You compare the total of the price and the shipping and compare that to the quality of the coin. If it is cheap, you buy. It if is expensive, you don't. Do you need fellow Members of this forum to hold it for you? This is such a ridiculous thread! Strong, qualified Members have verified for the seller and yet you sit around, trembling, waiting for Members to tell you what to do. You want the coin? Buy it! We're not going to pay for it for you!
Dorkkarl thinks your good friend, John Schuch, Ebay ID: FAIRTRADERZ, is a shill bidder. I'm wondering what you have to think about that? I've bought from him a couple of times and he has bought from me a couple of times. I have NEVER found him to be anything but a highly principled individual with strong, quality business practices. DORKKARL offers no substantiation of the his claims, yets makes such a ridiculous accusation! I am always amazed at some of the trash some Members will post on this forum! Very tacky Karl, very tacky!!
