glennk721 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Question - Why is this a USA only auction? and if I had a successful bid but provided a US address for delivery would that be allowed? Yes a US Address would be ok, . It's a USA auction because of trackability of the package as well as insurance , this can only be provided to domestic address at a minimal cost, tracking and insurance internationaly is quite expencive, usualy over $20+ US dollars . Also when I auction a coin I usualy have a extra in the event of a missing package, this is my only 05 CR coin to auction. Hence the need for insurance on the package. The buyers safty, and mine alike If a international bidder would self pay the high cost for international shipping & insurance I would ship international Thank you all for your bids so far, Glenn EDIT to add:: As well you would probably incure a duty tax on the item if insured as a internation package, this could end up quite costly, international buyer beware ! A USA address would be prefered Edited July 25, 2008 by glennk721 Link to comment

+cache_in_hand Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Dropped in another bid. Hope it helps and good luck. Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 As some of you may know I have been selling coins off over the past few months to pay for these unexpected bills and now car repairs on top of it all. I told Glenn that its raining here and I don't mean the weather. The next thing I know he has put this coin on ebay and I was speechless. I want to thank everyone who has bid so far and who may bid before it ends. I am very humbled. LadyBee4T Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 When my friend Nurse Nanna and I go caching we frequently sing “On the Road Again” by Willie Nelson and of course we are always out of tune. After Glenn listed this coin and we were “discussing” it. He sent me these lyrics What would you think if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll try not to sing out of key Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends After tearing up and then laughing I knew what he was saying to me. This is a very wonderful and supportive community and I am very happy to be a part of it. I never in my wildest dreams could imagine this. To all those who bid, the words just don’t express how I feel -- thank you from the bottom of my heart. Glenn, who put his “pretty hunk of metal” on the auction block for me, you are a very special and generous person with a heart of gold. Again I am speechless--I really am. Thank you and HUGZZZ Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Wow.. Your generosity Glenn just shows how great the group of people in here can be. I'm glad it's going to a great friend. Link to comment
