<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 1886190, member: 22331&quot;]Numismania, I&#039;m sorry, but I hardly think that Detecto should be an example of intelligent reference/decisions. An example being his posts #25 and #26 in this thread where he negatively dissertated on my post before engaging his brain. I thought to correct him, but realized the futility of the exercise before his illogic was exposed.</p><p>You are correct that if coins are shipped in an envelope first class, unrestrained, in violation of postal regulations, there is a likelihood of damage in shipment However, if the coins are properly restrained by being wrapped in a &quot;Post-It&quot; note taped between 2 recipe cards which strengthen the envelope, and meet regulations, I shipped thousands of coins in that fashion, when selling on Yahoo for many years in the past. I had well in excess of a thousand positive feedback, without a single complaint or loss of product.</p><p>Buyers loved the &quot;free shipping&quot;, often complimenting the integrity of the package, and a dollars worth of 90% could be shipped for a stamp. I often shipped a roll or 2 of dimes without problems using that method before the flat rate box was available, using multiple stamps on the envelope, and all envelope edges taped with 2&quot; wide tape. You are correct that if &quot;Golden Rule&quot; consideration isn&#039;t applied, regardless of shipping manner, the outcome can be less than desirable. I&#039;ve had flat rate boxes arrive where coins were dropping from the untaped edges/corners.</p><p>I did have the occasional buyer that claimed their winnings weren&#039;t received, I apologized, refunded their money, and blocked future bidding for them.</p><p>I believe you&#039;ll find the &quot;self-insured&quot; low or no cost shipping is well appreciated by buyers, as I still use same on eBid without any complaints, receiving all positive considerable feedback.</p><p>Just my experience!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
