<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1264017, member: 25270"]I hear what you're saying and I'm not taking it the wrong way. Let me explain what I do so maybe you can see why I feel I have to be accommodating. I collect world coins and I like to browse through my dealer's value bin, and I buy everything that I think is neat, or old or rare. But I really feel like I only need one of each coin, so when I have doubles I sell them on eBay. Many of these are coins with a limited market and I usually only sell them for a dollar or two, and often I have to list them several times before I get a bid. I'm not doing this to get rich, just to get a little extra money to buy other coins. So because of this I feel like I need to sell for less than the other people selling the same coins, and I hate to lose any potential sales since most of what I list won't sell. The typical person buying one of my coins is looking for that one missing coin to complete their set, and there's probably 20 other people offering the same coin. Combined shipping really seems to help me sell coins someone might not otherwise buy, because they are buying low value coins and don't want to pay a lot for them. When I buy coins I look for the same thing so I try to list the type of auction I would bid on myself. This is why I feel I need to do whatever I can to accommodate buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
