    Business has been slow from what I've seen, so no harm making offers.

    What? Please don't tell us you are shooting woodpeckers!
    I hope you're joking.

    Nope - just chasing them off - they are very destructive but I don't have the heart to actually shoot anything.

    I was looking at a $150 item, but then I thought I'm only saving $15
    So I didn't buy it and saved $150 instead. B)

    Not spending any money is a greater savings than buying at a discount..... though so many do not see this point. :D Cheers, RickO

    Well then your just not a spender at this time. Coins aren't the only thing for sale on eBay. When the billionaire who owns Paypal spoke at the RNC I vowed no more eBay purchases financed by pp smc - I don't want a dime more of my money going to him.

    These promotions are sometimes good for picking up various gold coins near (and sometimes below) spot, provided one is careful to avoid the "bullion" category.

    I used this opportunity to pick up a few new 2017 Great Britain 2 oz. silver "griffin" coins in the Queen's Beasts series. Paid a bit over spot, but I like the design.

    My main 2 accounts never get the offers, so I opened a few more. They do ;)

    Does anyone have any idea what triggers being offered these deals? Many like me who buy and sell often never get any of these. I would love to have some idea of how ebay decides who to give these offers to.

    Maybe it's the monthly service fee for a sellers account?? Total transactions? Maybe it's the 50+ searches every day for 15 years plus?? Who knows??

    Yep - shooting par is a better goal! :+1:
