<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1787570, member: 56793"]My favourite dealer stories are when I find a dealer that is willing to ship north of the border for $2 - $3. I wouldn't dare leave negative feedback when someone like that is willing to take a chance for my benefit. I have about a handful of US dealers willing to do this. Many of these relationships did start with an ebay transaction that clearly stated "LOWER 48 ONLY!" I don't buy very expensive coins often, usually a $10, $30 or $50 transaction keeps me happy. However, once in a while, when I get my heart set on something in the $100 to $300 range, I always check first with those dealers that took the time to ship the $10 items for $2 - $3. They could have easily made a $10 purchase cost $20, especially with today's postal rates and options. Of course, the price for shipping the more expensive purchases is higher, because the weight or value is now higher, but, at least it's proportional to the item price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
