Stupidity?
Because if you are west of the Mississippi river you are only going to see Denver coins until they are beat up circulated examples?
Ignorance?

Wow, I think it was just due to someone wanting one "now". They would have been better to buy a roll or box (if they couldn't wait to find one in circulation).

If the buyers had just scrolled down to the also viewed section they could have purchased a full roll for $4.74 postage paid.

I still don't have any 2017 P pennies. Hard to justify paying a premium for it.

That is just crazy. Shipping a penny for $2.95 is just as much a scam.

Probably a West coaster who really wants a P mint 2017 and can't get any in change . Still quite stupid to pay that kind of money for one of them . My roll supplier only charges $1.95 a roll plus postage .  |

He could have sold it for $2 shipped and made a reasonable profit. A penny, you can put in a flip in an envelope and a stamp.

Compared to this, http://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-P-Linc...OSw~y9ZBTaj, six dollars is nothing. I remember a few weeks ago there was a listing for one MS67 RD 2017 P penny with a price tag of somewhere around $120, and over 20 were sold. Makes me think of how much money I could have made if I graded all my 2017 Ps! |

additional coins ship free. maybe one person bought all 11. (not that this makes it better) but they would only pay $3 per coin, and $3 for shipping. make it like $3.50 per penny. (which is only half as bad. haha)

Awww, I wouldn't be too tough on the bidders. Not everybody who buys coins on ebay is a collector. The picture is stunning and shows off the design nicely. If you have an extra six bucks lying around, it's a paltry sum to pay for a nice work of art. |
