I've seen several posting credits for sale: does anyone have any for sale for $2.00 each or less?  I'd be interested in purchasing up to ten at that price and paying by paypal........If you have these available for this price, please pm me.

I sell mine at a minimum for the old price of $2.75/credit.  I don't think I've sold them for $2 or less ever.

EDITED TO ADD:  I don't have any for sale at the moment.  I need to move a few more books! :)

I've never seen them for $2.00 each. If somebody has them for that price, I'll buy all ya can spare!

Since it costs over $2 to mail a book, I don't think I'd sell them that low.  I'd consider it a loss.  I think most people would at least want to break even.

Yeah, to break even with the postage at 2.13 and say a book from Salvation Army at least 50 cents you are now looking at 2.63 as a break even price. Used to be 1.59 for postage and somebody could charge 2.00-2.50 and break even.

That and you  have to also consider the loss of Paypal fees. I doubt anyone would sell credits for less than $2.75 - $3.00 per credit. Which is still less than the cost in the Kiosk!

Okay, silly ideal on my part..........If I use my last credit, I'll check and see what I can find for the best deal.

Diana, you would have to find a member that was selling credits for that price. You could search the forums which is an option at the top of this page and type in "credits for sale."
