<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamor1960, post: 7787379, member: 114242&quot;]I&#039;m always looking for Coins to give for gifts to friends and family (because,&nbsp; by the time I&#039;m gone, everyone I know will have a coin collection, whether they want one or not<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) So, I got really excited the other day when I came across a seller who had, &quot;more than 10&quot; 1986, proof, Statue of Liberty Commerative halves for sale at $6, with free shipping and &quot;make an offer&quot; so I offered $4.50 each for 10 of them (I know it&#039;s a lowball, but what the heck) That price, along with $5.00 &amp; $5.50, were auto rejected, so I offered $5.75. The seller accepted it. When I was done, I saw that he still had more than 10 listed, so I sent him a message, stating that, if he would sell them to me for $5.50, I would buy 10 more from him. I also explained what I had planned for them and that I wasn&#039;t planning to resell them. This was his response, &quot;Sorry, I can&#039;t do that anymore. I am losing money doing that I paid for those coins $10 each in 1987 expected to go higher and never accomplished that. To ship each coin cost me $3.59 reason why I changed the price to $6.50 plus shipping.</p><p>Thank you for your interest.&quot;</p><p>I responded by thanking him for his message, then sent this one about an hour later, &quot;Hey there. If you change your mind about the price of the coins and want to sell them to me, I&#039;ll go $5.75 for 10 of them, and might consider a few more. For that price. Like I said, I&#039;m not a seller, I&#039;ll use them for gifts.</p><p>Thanks.&quot;</p><p>Doubt if I ever hear back from him, but figured I&#039;d give it a shot. Maybe he&#039;ll get rid of them at a loss after 34 years. If not, at least I&#039;ll have 10 at a good price. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
