Re: HOW NOT TO SELL ON EBAY
Here's what I sent
Dear mpjns123,
Would you really not individually wrap each can in newspaper? That would take all of 5 minutes. A lot of collectors would probably bid, but why ,if they are going to get a bunch of cans all dented and scratched in shipping
- cactuscans
....................................................................................
Here's her reply
Dear cactuscans,
They are already dented and scratched as explained.
- mpjns123
WOW stay away

Re: HOW NOT TO SELL ON EBAY
Guess she heard you.
"By popular demand with a lot questions and concerns.... I will wrap each can with paper... I emphasize cans have dents, scratches and rust! And how you receive them is as is and should be considered cast off somewhat damaged cans...thanks!"

Re: HOW NOT TO SELL ON EBAY
I wonder how upset she will be if the auction does not get any bids.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.
