<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1947701, member: 19463&quot;]I have bought several coins from Pecunem sales but do have one suggestion.&nbsp; Buy several or one higher priced item.&nbsp; I am not bidding in today&#039;s sale because there is no coin I have to have and the ones I might want appear early in the sale.&nbsp; If you buy one 40 euro coin, you will end up paying about 70 euros for it after they add buyers&#039; premium, Paypal add on and postage.&nbsp; If you buy five 40 euro coins, the premiums will be the same percentage but the one Registered postage fee will cover the bunch.&nbsp; Now I only bid on lesser coins when I know I will be buying something that makes the cost of postage worthwhile.&nbsp; If you have already bought one coin, you might want to look and see if there is anything still coming up that you might want to piggyback on to the package.&nbsp; That means if something else is going for a bargain price, I would cost you $25 less than it would cost me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, it the first coin you bought is a $1000 item, the postage does not seem so bad.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When buying overseas I always get a kick out of the postage.&nbsp; This week, I had to sign for a Registered parcel mailed from Europe that cost me $40 postpaid.&nbsp; The same day the postman put a coin worth 5 times as much postpaid in the box with the ads and bills since it was coming from the US and mailed without insurance.&nbsp; (Several sellers are using private insurance now and that does not flag a parcel as &#039;Steal Me&#039;.)&nbsp; It costs next to nothing to mail Registered from some countries and an arm and a leg from others.&nbsp; You need to pay attention when bidding.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will be interested in seeing who bought what.&nbsp; There are two lots that they failed to describe properly that will be a bonus to someone (but not worth the postage to me to buy just one).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
