Thank you Coinstar!

[toorude89]

I was turning in about $1000 worth of halves today and the coinstar kicked out a really dirty 1967 that I had missed by searching the rims. Made my day this morning and my 4th 40% this week after a month long skunk streak. Also turned in $9 in clad that I found metal detecting and will buy silver w that. HH!

Doesn't Coinstar charge 8%? That's $80 on $1000. That is a lot of 40%ers just to break even.

You can get it put onto gift cards free of charge.

I did a thread not to long ago about the beauty of coinstar giftcards. They are free of charge and fees and you can get them for multiple of places. Everything from amazon to lowes, to a bucketload of other places. Go to coinstar.com and check it out or check your local coinstars, every coinstar is different at to what giftcards they offer. You never know. One of them might offer paypal which will allow you to go buy more silver off of Ebay?

Banks won't take a $1000 gift card to Amazon

Other than Paypal (which I haven't seen listed), that would mean that you would have to buy something with those gift cards. Which would mean that you would not have money to buy coins again. Even with Paypal being an option, you still would have to buy something instead of using that money for CRHing. Am I missing something?

There are banks that pay a fee to Coinstar to allow their customers to dump fee-free. They are rather rare, but they do exist.

No. Sometimes people just don't think.

Also note that most Coinstar machines don't seem to like silver dimes,I've found over 20 to 30 silver dimes and quarters in the return tray in the last 10 years

Theres probably a good loophole.. If you could get an eBay one.. use it on one account, open a seller account set a BIN for the price of whatever it is the gift card is, buy it send the money to that paypal, and all you have to pay is $0.33

Absolutely not! My bank, which is at my work, has a coinstar that they allow customers to use for free. I take my coins there on my break and dump them. The bank provides the halves, I hunt them, I dump them, the coinstar guy takes them away - everyones happy. It just becomes an instant deposit. I have used other coinstars when I knew I was going to buy something big on Amazon. The Amazon gift card is as good as cash if you need something (lawnmower). I pick up and dump where I work so no extra driving. I have posted about this situation before. Is it unique? Seems like I lucked out.
