[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3000330, member: 44316"]Many collectors and dealers put price information on flips in code. The most famous code is REPUBLICAN 0123456789 because it has 10 letters for 10 digits. and you can throw in other letters that are ignored. So LDR would be 50 (ignore the D). 0's and 1's are the most common numbers, so picking a second and third letter to represent 0 and three to represent 1 is a good idea. Then it is not so easy to decipher the code. Also, your real cost is not the price of the item, but the price plus shipping. Adding in shipping makes fewer costs end in 0 or 5, so the the last digit of coded numbers will not expose which letter is 0. Of course, you can personalize it with your own code.[/QUOTE]
