[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8174669, member: 25270"]Last month I sold two foreign coins on eBay to someone in New York. A few weeks later the buyer contacted me and said the tracking showed the item arriving at a nearby post office and then it stopped moving. After waiting a few weeks I gave it up as lost and gave him a refund. Today a strange envelope shows up in my mail. It had my name and address as both the sender and recipient. I couldn't make out the postmark. I could tell it had a coin inside. So I open it and I find the two lost coins. Accompanying them is a note that says "I found this letter lying in a snow bank while I was out walking and I could barely make out your address." The person didn't sign their name or give any other information. First off it's really cool that someone took the time to send this back to me at their own expense. The coins were just worth a buck or two but they didn't have to do that. And second of all, nice job USPS dropping the mail in the snow. I wonder how often something like this happens?[/QUOTE]
