Reused Envelopes

[A_Pharis]

I don't think anyone would have known had you not said anything. It's kinda cooled down in here since it was all nonsense to begin with.

You shouldnt be so hard on yourself. I didnt really think you were over the type whining about something like this...

 

[A_Pharis]

Whining, duh!

Kind of sad to see this drag out for 12 pages. Anyway, go to Sams, buy the 25 pack of 6x9 mailers for $4.89, cut them in half and ship it out taped up. You get 50 mailers for less than $5 that way. If that is too steep for you, you may want to give up selling on eBay, because you have other issues you need to be dealing with.

Or you could buy mailers on ebay, earn ebay bucks, and save your tape.

Or........I could take the new mailer that was just sent to me with a card I just bought, slice the top open, take out the contents, insert new contents, print a paypal label, tape it on and tape it shut. I know you are going to say the difference is it was used once, but come on, why not reused a perfectly good mailer that will do its job, protecting the contents of what you just bought?? ****, sellers mail their cards to me in reused penny sleeves, top loaders, team bags, wrapped in last Sundays comic section, with a used packing peanut for thickness in 3x used over mailers and I never bitch. If the contents get to me damaged, then I will complain, otherwise I could give two ***** what it comes in.

People bitch about others trying to save a dollar here and there, and others bitch about wanting everything in packaged in new stuff. Its a vicious cycle of an argument, no one is right or wrong, we all have ********, we all have opinions. Its a good debate needless to say...

Crap, reused penny sleeves......A new thread should be started!

I got a bubble mailer today that had dirt on it.

I emailed the seller and complained. He told me that it was caused by the post office.

I called BS and told him I wanted a refund because the mailer didn't show up in mint/near-mint condition.

The point is not saving a few cents by reusing a mailer. The point is saving a few cents reusing the mailer, but charging your buyer for it. People were bitching saying that they reused the mailers to "recycle" or to not have to waste money buying new mailers. New mailers run around 10 cents per bulk. You want to save 10 cents by reusing a mailer - but want to charge $3.00+ shipping for reused material? Seems legit.

Seriously, this has been beat back and forth for too long. There's been numerous attempts to move this thread towards cats and purely goofy discussion. If you don't see the concern with charging higher that needed S&H for an item you used to skimp a few cents, then that's your perogative. That's what is great about opinions they don't have to apply to anyone!

Move on.

Christ, man. Really? At least come up with a new schtick once in a while. I think you resurrected the dead horse so you could ride it back into the ground.

 

[muskiesfan]

If you bought bulk bubble mailers on eBay and the seller placed those bubble mailers inside of other bubble mailers, that would be like bubble mailer inception, right?

 

[A_Pharis]

Do you think the bubble mailers would know they were in a bubble mailer?

But I had to pay for the Bubble Mailer when it was sent to me the first time. Am I not able to use something that I paid for?

How many bubble mailer levels deep would you have to go before they realized they were a mailer in a mailer in a mailer in a mailbox? This is just simply mind boggling.

:lol:

And what is just as mind boggling is why do you wash a rain coat. I mean you wear out side in the rain and the you wait for it to dry, then you wash it in the washing machine. Why bother it was already washed due to the rain.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem reusing envelopes, it is just I rarely buy off ebay so I don't have mailers to reuse. If I bought as much as I sell I would be using used envelopes. I reuse top loaders all the time too.

Move on.

Nothing to see here folks, Adam has labeled this discussion over, so move on folks!!!

:lol:

I'm surprised this has gone on as long as it has. And then not ended up in the FCB Hall of Shame section
