<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1886493, member: 75105&quot;]I can get a box of 100 claps envelopes for around $9 shipped on amazon, which works out to around 9 cents each.</p><p><br /></p><p>A box of 100 bubble envelopes would be around $30 with postage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for every 100 sales you save about $20, not much, but it&#039;s $20 you didn&#039;t have before. I like to keep my bottom line reduced, in order to keep shipping rates low.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only good a bubble mailer is for items in plastic.

I cannot even shred them, they clog my shredder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, bubble wrap will protect a proof set or a graded coin from cracking the plastic, but if something is strong enough to bend a silver dollar, then the bubble wrap will be useless.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m telling you, bubble mailers are a complete waste of time and resources for sending non-encapsulated coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be like sending a rock in a bubble mailer and hoping the thin layer of air protects the rock from a blow with a pickax. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve made 6 sales since I&#039;ve mentioned that, and I don&#039;t even carry &quot;popular items&quot; like wheat pennies or silver dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>I offered you a referral link that would of allowed you to list 40 items completely free of charge, and would of only had to pay 6 whole percent if they sold. You refused. You would of not have paid one cent if nothing sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could of listed 40 ten dollar items and not have paid a cent until they sold, and the difference between feebays 13% and etsy&#039;s 6% would of worked out to around $28.00 saved.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason it took me a while to sell anything is because buyers are cautious when buying from a new seller, everyone goes through that phase.</p><p><br /></p><p>You claimed at one time you had 10k in inventory, if you would of put half that on etsy, and if all of it sold, you would have saved around $350.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love etsy.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s cheaper than eBay, the community is more friendly, and I don&#039;t have to put up with the quasi-nazi tactics eBay keeps forcing on sellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
