$15 or $100 FV.
$15 fit in a small flat rate box and $100 fit in a medium flat rate box.

I've noticed a couple of $15 lots going for over $30 with shipping paid by buyer. Also saw bags of pennies from the bank going for almost 2x face because of clever marketing. Maybe we're selling the wrong product!

When I've looked, it seems like it can certainly vary. Some sellers seemed to be getting good money really consistently, and others... Not so much. In my experience lower dollar amount/volume items tend to carry higher margins as a general rule... But there's more hassle as well. In all likelihood one would probably be wisest to run a mix, with some variations on keywords to get as many people looking as possible. Trying to do only one particular listing sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

I saw where NDFarmer got a good price on 10 bags. You might try listing them 50,000 at a time. :mrgreen:
