<p>[QUOTE="KDD, post: 4107174, member: 110611"]$42 AUD ($28 USD) is what I spent on the Alexander the Great singularly. That bundle (not including the Macedonian) cost me $155 AUD (around $105 USD). But postage was steep also. I saw another bundle of 100 coins from the UK and the seller there was asking for $10 AUD postage. My lot cost me over $30 AUD (20 USD) in postage. And then everything was inflated because we have to pay 10% GST tax on any product (including second hand, which we don't have to do domestically) or service internationally and 4% currency exchange. I also overpaid: I nominated a value of $115 AUD, but decided to just 'make it happen' as I wanted to learn the craft of cleaning coins. I cursed myself afterwards, but am at peace with it now. It was my initial clumsy overspend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be more patient in the future, but this... I just had to make it happen.
