    How about my postage to send item a check/money order;
    my gas to the Post office.

    Him running back to the house because he forgot the coin, his labor for getting in the car, getting back out of it, running into the post office, talking with the post person, etc. :D

    Phoenix :cool:

    I think he should have left off reason 3, as ebay forbids/ frowns on ebay and paypal fees being included in shipping. I know nobody here would raise shipping to cover ebay fees.;)

    Perhaps I should tally and figure into my bid the expenses I incur while searching for listings of 1822 Morgan Dollars, and the brain energy expended whilst trying to figure out a bid, depreciation expense on my keyboard, wear and tear on the pixels on the LCD monitor, electricity needed to run the computer while I review the listing, internet expenses for being able to connect to eBay...

    Yeah, but the one on the right ain't a people now is it? Nor is the coin for that matter.

    Clembo, your question reminds me of one of the classic lines from homework papers compiled in the book "Anguished English":

    BTW, can't that other entity get me a good deal on car insurance?
