Accumulator Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 leaving aside the wonderful quality of this coin, which is obviously 'money well spent', 'will retain value as time passes' and is a 'significant piece of monetary history', the seller has made a trifling mathematical error which might mean he completely misses his well-populated target market. Should I let him know that it's actually an 'ideal 106th birthday pressie'? I'd hate for him to lose out. Quote

ski Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I realise that a 99p listing is free, but how much does it cost these chancers to post an ad like that?i think it was a free weekend last weekend, so i guess if he doesnt sell it, he may pay nothing......i guess if its a free day, anything is worth punting out.

ski Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 do you pay for the photo even if its a free weekend? Quote
just.me Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 do you pay for the photo even if its a free weekend?only the basic listing fee is free which includes 1 photo. All other additional photos are 12p each and other extras like enlarged photos still incur fees too. Quote
