Default FA: Some Lincolns and a Jefferson - 15 hours left!

Thanks for looking!

The 1934 and 1935 Lincolns are still way underpriced, and there are
still no bids on three of the coins with $0.99 starting prices.

Time to pick up some steals!

3 out of 5 items went for less than $3.01. At least you made some money on
the shipping? LOL!

I wish I had seen your post, I would have bid on the three items and won.
I'd have liked to have had them.

Please post a couple of days ahead of auction ending, my ISP doesn't always
get me the freshest messages in a timely manner.

Sorry - usually, I make a post when I first list the items, and again on
the last day of the auctions. I thought that was normal protocol.

Well, sometimes you win some, and sometimes you lose some. After
totalling up all five auctions, I still made a profit. So, it's still a
good day.

After adding up my costs: padded mailer, bubble wrap, tape, printing of
the invoice, gas money to get to the Post Office, postage, and delivery
confirmation, I doubt I'm making any money on shipping. I haven't
actually added it all up, but I'm thinking I'm pretty close to actual
costs.

Keep your eyes open - I'm going to try to keep listing coins on a more
regular basis. I have my eyes on a few key date and semi-key date
Morgans from a friend of mine, and need some cash. I'm in the process of
imaging some more coins and preparing them for auction (well, I'm going
to try, anyway!) - hoping to get them on ebaY this weekend. I'll post a
new FA: post if/when I do.

Thanks for your interest!

Yes, as a seller myself, I tend to forget about the costs associated with
selling. I don't know why I do that.

One thing that I can't seem to get a discount on is padded mailers. I COULD
buy them in bulk, but I don't see myself needing 100-500 padded mailers! I
am very lucky in the fact that I can mail everything from where I work and
don't have to drive to the post office. When I worked from home, I had to
save up shipments and just go to the post office twice a week. But, of
course, back then, gas was half the price it is now.

Now I just ship everything USPS Priority mail and I require insurance. I
have not had one complaint. I do BIN sales and make my shipping costs very
clear so I do not get less for my items due to the shipping. The Priority
Mail small boxes are perfect for mailing proof sets and the like. I print
the mailing labels on USPS website and mail from work. It works for me and
that is all that matters to me.
