Yes, it seems ridiculous to pay more for the shipping than for the coin itself - and I honestly at times feel remorse charging customers exactly what it costs me to ship an item (because, let's face it, $3 seems excessive) but having had people also try to rip me off....you end up just having to look at it as purely business - if you start cheating yourself, what's the point in selling the coins in the first place?</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm always happy to combine shipping, though - which is something I HATE on stuff from Amazon or eBay...when you buy TWO items, they try to charge you TWO separate shipping costs.
