<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 831087, member: 13650&quot;]Me neither.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Lets look at this.&nbsp; 29.95 plus $5.99 shipping.&nbsp; For this, you&#039;re at least guaranteed $6.36 worth of silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ok, that&#039;s great.&nbsp;&nbsp; But that&#039;s probably all <b>circulated silver coins that, (oh by the way) they have to manually sort through in order to throw each one in the bag!!!</b>&nbsp; &nbsp; Then you get a steel cent which is about worthless if not in premium condition.&nbsp; &nbsp; Then you get an IHC and a buffalo nickel worth maybe $2 a piece?&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus, most likely 100 wheats worth face value because most people aren&#039;t going to take the time to sell each one on ebay, take the fees hit and ship each one for 0.30,....... <b>and maybe not even break even!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Ok, lets add it up......&nbsp;&nbsp; 6.36 worth of silver + $4 + $1.00 = $11.36&nbsp; &nbsp; Which is all the auction promises AT BEST.&nbsp; &nbsp; It cost you $35.94. </b>&nbsp;&nbsp; After paypal fees, ebay fees and shipping, he&#039;s left with around $26 clear after each sale.&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>If the average bag contains $11 worth of coins (which we know he doesn&#039;t have $11 invested in them buying wholesale!!)&nbsp; as promised, then he&#039;s got at minimum $15 profit left after EVERY SALE.&nbsp; </b>&nbsp; He has currently sold 144 of them during this current auction.&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>That realistically leaves $2,160 worth of profit so far for him to play with.&nbsp;&nbsp; </b>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; He may as well pocket a grand for his work and re-invest the $1160 into semi-keys from the coin shop and sprinkle them in!&nbsp; So he can sell more.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Kind of like the lottery.&nbsp;&nbsp; The only problem is, it takes a lot of losers for somebody to be a winner.&nbsp;&nbsp; People like gambling.&nbsp; So, this auction works well and he&#039;s making however much profit he wants.&nbsp;&nbsp; He&#039;s already got enough feedback to where he wouldn&#039;t have to invest much back into it anymore now.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; And call me cynical, but I&#039;d bet $100 it was HIS idea to put the kids in the picture in order to give you a warm, fuzzy, innocent feeling about the auction.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Sorry.&nbsp; I&#039;ll take a single coin for $29.95 any day.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cool picture though.&nbsp; Have to give him credit for the amount of promotion that went into that page.&nbsp; Certainly, the most I&#039;ve ever seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
