<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 984316, member: 18304&quot;]I think a person selling a coin can ask whatever he wants for shipping. Nobody ever accounts for the hastle of correctly packaging a coin, then adding the trip to the post office to a days routines. Factor envelopes, tape, address lables, bubble wrap, etc. Plus gas/ware and tear to and from and the aggrevation of the lines at the post office. Then pay shipping cost and then be insulted to buy insurance for them (post office) to actually deliver the item. All to be at the mercy of someone who grades you on how quick it arrived. I think that expence should be for the buyer. Remember &quot;I fly you buy&quot; applies here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Otherwise shipping is an incentive. If the coin is killer/unique and needs nothing to attract serious buyers, then add stiff shipping. If the coin is something to be desired and common, then offer smaller/free shipping to sweeten the deal. You are the &quot;realtor&quot; for the sale but know what it is you are charging for or not. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When buying coins I always see shipping fees, no matter how large they seem as an &quot;Acuisition Fee&quot;. Always cheaper than traveling myself. Later, Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
