Yes, his shipping costs are high but you must consider that one of his coins is MS67 as you can see from the exellent pictures. He also has a auction for a single coffee mug that he will ship for the one time low price of $10.99

It seems that the overpriced shipping charges will limit the bids to 0. Although, I would not be shocked if someone bid on them. Someone will think they are a great deal.

I agree if they are all in fact MS60 or higher. From the pics, you may be getting AU at best, and then you mave have a hard time breaking even. Bottom line is melt is worth about $30, so at least they can get half of their money back.....

It's still fee avoidance no matter what the cost. The seller does not pay fees to ebay on shipping cost.

If buyers keep agreeing to shady deals like this, ebay will just continue its downward spiral.
