That same 1932 run is back up for auction, this time with no reserve. I knew he wouldn't find a better price off of Ebay. Let's see what happens this time. He said he got a $5,000 offer, but I'm skeptical it goes for much more than last time. He should have taken it, given that it closed for $3,888, thanks to me.



103.95 for shipping
WTF
What a rip-off
I think these high shipping costs on ebay are bunk
He's trying to pad the price

I actually complained to somebody about this but situation was a bit different
He was charging 100.00 for shipping on an item I estimated the value at 100.00
He got angry when I asked why shipping was so high, so he banned me from the auction. lol

What was the second highest bid under yours last time? I would offer a dollar more than that this time.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It would have been just a little under what it closed for. It is the second highest bid that determines what something closes for.

Better to get a Montana Bicentennial. At least I think that was the cool one.

Do you mean this one? (bottom row center)



You're entitled to your opinion, but what is go great about it? In my opinion, most of these bicentennial (three n's) plates are pretty ugly, as was most of everything made in the 1970's.

Might be, color scheme is right. Was one of the few three-color plates I remember from the era.

As you can see from the image above, lots were right white and blue, if you count white as a color.

Yeah but just something about that scheme I liked. I think how even with other three colors still the only one with two color bleed.
