The description of how much space it would take up is crazy. 33 and 1/3 pallets. I'm sure I could find space though....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 100K FV means the seller has 10 million cents, right?

If the entire universe of CU cents is 120-150 billion, then this lot here comprises 1/12000 - 1/15000 of every Cu cent.

Talk about cornering the market... :D

Good luck to Adam

I would have to keep them in the basement as I would be worried about all the weight in the house... I live in a new house but 33 pallets of pennies is ridiculous. How much is the weight? i didn't see it.

I think about 33.3 tons.

Adam, hopefully that listing drew you some traffic and business to the portland mint. The per ton price is substantially less too but ebay needs a cut too

Is it possible that this offer to sell is bogus? It might be someone's idea of a joke.

The offer is legit.. and he has them in stock. I bet he could give you a slightly better price if you deal direct and the eBay/PayPal cut can be eliminated. You could save on shipping if you just buy $65k. That way you could ship it on one semi. :mrgreen:

Read the reply by misteroman.
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.

You would be amazed at what ebay wants for the lot if it sold. Its over $20k :o

Dealing direct is always better. Thats why I linked to the website and gave my number a few times.

Yeah, that eBay bite is one of the reasons I hardly ever sell anything on eBay anymore. I used to sell a lot of things there back in the good ol' days when fees were reasonable. :mrgreen:
