    that's an entrepreneur right there! knows it's hard to get rolls to search for many people, provides it and makes a couple bucks a roll after the shipping.

    the modern day lemonade stand in a desert!

    I remember buying a lot of something like 56 Ikes for $58. One of them turned out to be silver. Shipping alone must have been over $10. Still not sure what the seller was thinking...

    It's the "18 sold" that's a headscratcher . . . . . .

    What do you bet that 16 of those 18 THOUGHT they were getting silver quarters . . . .

    I don't think so, he clearly say in the listing title 1965-1998. i think it's likely people desperate for something to search through around the country with their banks not giving out anything and seeing it as a decent deal since it's $10 face and then the shipping, you ain't sticking a roll of quarters in an envelope with one forever stamp hahahaha.

    I was considering it even,,,,, but I'll stick to the drought instead. one day my banks will stop being stingy with the change rolls..

    This is a great idea. Wish I had kept more of my older quarters.... Could be making a few bucks a roll.

    One roll of quarters weighs about 8 ounces. With envelope it goes above 8, so the next shipping price bracket on eBay at least is about $5.70

    Total: $19.97
    eBay Fee: $2.00
    PayPal Fee: $0.90
    Shipping Fee: $5.70
    TOTAL PROFIT: $11.37
    NET PROFIT: $1.37

    Honestly, not that good when I calculate it out.
