I got this eMail a few minutes ago:



<< <i>YOUR EBAY NAME FITS YOU CHEAP..9.00 FOR FIRST CLASS,,YOU CAN MAIL 40 SETS FOR THAT AMOUNT,,CHEAPIE >>



The shipping is $8.95, which includes insurance. It's a 1999 silver proof set that weighs 8 ounces with packaging, and is currently at over $350. After adding in packaging costs, I might break even.

Oh, and the nitwit thinks he has a cool eBay handle - shipping-police-2005.

    40 sets for that amount....sheesh....no one is that stupid. He knows better.

    Sitting around on a Sunday evening harassing honest ebay sellers with ridiculous comments in a desperate bid for attention.

    If life ever gets you down, think about how pathetic this poor sap's existence is.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Yeah, I did, and I even avoided the urge to point out what an idiot he is.

    I am sure that this protester could easily save money buy driving across town, or if his town doesn't have a coin store, to another city close by, burning up a few gallons of gas, killing a couple of hours and saving himself that $8.95 in your shipping costs, by spending $10.00 in gas and more in lost time. image

    I once had that situation or similiar where I was called on shipping charges and actually charged him for multiple shipping and lost money ie less than face value (shipping and coin value included). I did not complain and honored my ebay contract (lost about 3 bucks). 4 days after I mailed the package I received a paypal payment for an additional $3.50........ from the winning bidder

    Actually if you could get 40 sets into a flat rate box you could ship them for less at $8.10. Wouldn't leave much for insurance but then again insurance ISN'T shipping.

    40 sets for $9; rip van winkle probably thinks gas is still under $1 per gallon.

    But Russ WAS including insurance, and I'll bet the guy knew that, so that's what's relevant.

    There have been rumors of a "kindler, gentler" Russ. Then again, maybe he just forgot to take the meds. image
