Let me explain my thought process. Let's say the "$10 coin" is actually a $16 coin. I'm willing to pay $16 for the coin...with the price of shipping at $5.25, I'd big no more than $10.75 for it. If I win it for $10...I feel I did OK, total cost is $15.25 shipping which is acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the issue is more with the method of shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if that coin arrives in a plain white envelope with a 2x2 I'm not going to be terribly happy. I feel that coins need to be shipped a little more protected than that. Even if the shipping was free (and I still won the coin for $15.25)...I'd still be unhappy. I understand that the cost of shipping is built into the total price (with or without free shipping).
