Who's paying three cents for wheat pennies. I have a lot of them I'll sell for that price! I would text him back and tell you will pay five cents apiece and then not show up. Is it that big of a deal for three cents apiece unless there's some key date stuff in there but it doesn't sound like it.
I went to one today and the lady showed me to gold necklaces and then said that she was going to take him to the cash for gold place because he would pay more. I weighed them out 17.3 g between the two of them. Offered her $310 and she said no way! That's around 80% of spot and I gave her my phone number so when the guy gives her $180 for them or $ 200 she can call me back. But if I have to go back to her house the price is going to be a little bit less for being a pain in the butt!
