<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 25722923, member: 43872&quot;]Hey, it doesn&#039;t cost him or her anything to ask, and some people have learned to expect it.&nbsp; I agree, there is the implied threat of bad feedback, but it may just be the taught reflex to ask, like we teach kids to Trick-or-Treat to get free stuff.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought coins on eBay where the dealer, unasked for and unexpectedly, sent a &quot;free gift,&quot; such as a cheap foreign coin.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t worth much--probably he got it in a bag of foreign for a fraction of a cent--but it was still nice to get a little bonus.&nbsp; If I had a junk box of really cheap coins, I might just put one in the envelope (assuming it didn&#039;t add enough weight to cost more postage), perhaps a modern Mexican 5 centavo or such or even a common wheat cent.&nbsp; Who knows, it might lead to another sale someday or at least get rid of something just lying around that you can&#039;t sell anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
