[QUOTE="wrljet, post: 2840729, member: 88958"]Selling anything heavy, with low dollar value, is difficult because shipping is such a high fraction of the overall cost to your customer. And people don't like paying the S&H "tax". If your rolls are 7 oz, mailing 2 rolls, 5 rolls, or 50 rolls costs the same if you go USPS. If you have a commercial account someplace, then maybe that isn't the case. That's outside my experience. When I recently got an unwanted box of 2017-P Lincoln Cents, I sent a some rolls to a friend, pulled some out to keep sealed, and broke open the rest to search for errors. Then they'll go back to my dump bank. Those boxes sell for ~$55 on the 'Bay and I can mail the whole box for $7.15. But I've got $25 into buying them, eBay and PayPal both get a healthy fee (eBay charges their fee on the amount you collect for postage, too, BTW), so the "profit" simply isn't worth my time. vs. spending that time searching through thousands of coins. ;) Bill[/QUOTE]
