just got back from Cuba , and I've discovered that most places that deal with tourists don't take pesos, but yankee dollars, but only paper. Change is made using "convertable peso" coins which are only issued to tourists, and have a different exchange rate, but are used pretty much everywhere in...

If I were to list an item with a BIN price of say $0.01, and a s/h fee of $10, would that be fee avoidance?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2197657061&category=39488 I have to wonder how much NGC charged this guy for the plastic if he can afford to sell an item for $29.50 that the mint charged him $24 for. Unless I miscalculated there is about $1.20 per coin in eBay fees, meaning...

I thought I had saved the stuff from last years Holiday Swap. Plus, I had some good advice from Mark--the host from 2 years ago about running the swap. I have looked on my computer at work and at home, and can find no documentation on running the swap. I was planning on kicking off the ceremonies...
