There are many who sell for much less. I believe the most common price is about 1.4x face, right? I'm a hand sorter and I would consider selling at 2x face. Then again I don't pay for gas, so...
Maybe you should try the new market Ecotic has discovered (survivalist clubs) and was gracious enough to share with all of us so we could profit too. If it is all Pooky-moo (aka B_ll $hit) then you will know soon enough. Maybe you just might move some product at a higher profit.
My son joined a survivalist club four months ago. I think I will send some copper pennies with him and see what happens.
