Anyone ever get anything "extra" in your coin package from a Ebay sale?

jbsteven

Sometimes people mistakenly put trash or other items in packages that are being mailed out by mistake.

I got a coin in the mail today with a Q tip with a bunch of ear wax on both ends.

can you beat that?

XpipedreamR

I have had sellers put a little coin surprise in the package, but that's disgusting!

stman

Dude, that's what you apply the "Textile" dots with. Didn't they learn you on this?

Placid

You sure it was ear wax?

Small coin 'extras', yes...
Junk mail for other offerings that they have, yes...
But nothing as off the wall as that...

No extra charge I hope?

I received an extra coin from Cameron and one time I think I got some bellybutton lint

I got a BU roll of 40 year old Lincolns as a gift with my order

Got a free ohio quarter (when they first came out) in a flip when I ordered something else. It was a nice surprise. I thanked the seller. It's only MS-65 but it was nice to have something unexpected.

JB, thank GOD it wasn't a scratch and sniff item!

..........LOL. Good one JB.

With the price I just paid for a DMPL CC I hope I get SOMETHING extra. Even if it is a used QTip.

I once got a package with a Band Aid in it.....fortunately it was unused.

agentjim007

a Q-tip?...now thats scraping up packaging material.

MadMonk

I bought a beautiful tiger maple cutting board. The seller emailed me after the Auction, and asked me if I would like my family name, etc, artfully added to the side of the board. I agreed, and he did a fine job as well.

Lucy sent me a cool magnet for my frig.

I'm sorry but I don't see anyone putting trash in a package by mistake. How exactly does one go about making that mistake?

"Hmm, I think Ill lay this opened package containing a coin that Im about to mail out on top of this trash. [Few hours pass] I think Ill go throw this Qtip away in the trash. [Few more hours pass] Time to go mail that package."

I don't see it.

Peaceman

lol.... Once, for a $ 150 purchase I got..... (all in the same pkg)

1 Button that said something like "vote putink" ?
1 Football card
8 Baseball cards
1 Casino chip
1 Sticker

the trash I was referring to was maybe the piece of paper that covers the sticky part to seal the bubble mailer. Does that help?

lordmarcovan

Eeew... that's gross!

And hilarious!

I've never gotten a mailed surprise like that, but...

As I work in the Room Service department of a five-star resort, a large portion of my week is spent retrieving tables of dirty dishes from the Butler Pantry. All too often folks decide to pile whatever trash they have in the room on the cart, too. We get TV guides, remote controls, eyeglasses, medicine bottles, baby pacifiers, and all kinds of stuff back on the carts. But the one that grinds my gears is the used Kleenexes. C'mon, folks, that's unsanitary. Other people have to use the dishes after you. Yeah, we wash 'em, but puh-lease. They aren't a repository for your used snotrags, and they DO make ashtrays, y'know- did you really have to use the butter dish or the water glass for your fat, smelly, spitty cigar butt?

Oh, the best was the Room Service table I broke down in the kitchen one day, only to discover a Pamper. That's right. A disposable diaper. Well loaded, too. Not just weewee. If I'd known what room it came out of, I'd have gone back and left it outside their door. (Well, I would have thought about it, anyway.)

jb sent me a purple nickel once with an order
( I figure he must've felt guilty for charging such outrageous prices )

(just kidding Jason)

I've never gotten any extra but I like to send extra. Makes for a happy customer that hopefully will return. Small stuff...like I sold some silver and have to ship it out tomorrow. I was paid with a money order but the money order is 1 cent more than I am owed. So I am returning the 1 cent to them.....a 1917 Wheatie in AU. Just small stuff but it's fun for all involved.

Recieved a unplated cent once. saw one just like it in a PCGS error holder and it did $300+ in the bay of E.

For me, I give RPM cents or picture magnts of toned coins.

BAJJERFAN

I bet that guy is goin nutz tryin to figger out where that Q tip went. LOL

Neptune

I got a few BU cents once free with the ones I ordered. I also like to give gifts with my orders. I always give a free crystal points with my rock orders. The customer will remember you for this. For the price I have sold some things for, I practically gave that stuff away too.

Merc

A used Q-tip? that's nasty

I've received a proof 1980 penny, a padded slab holder, and $2( the seller decided to refund the shipping) -only good things.

Robgetty

I've gotten some small things (buffalo nickels, proof roosies), but never trash!

Sphinx357

I use it as a bookmark it's pretty funny. Other than that nothin.
