That seems reasonable. My guess is CoinStar can probably buy the gift certificates for 90 cents on the dollar so they do about as well which ever you choose.<BR/><BR/>Anne,<BR/>As for NY, if I found one of those cheap bus tickets, I might be able to pay for my trip with the savings. If only I had the time to visit the big apple. Maybe next school year.Seth Gitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419336947867237619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509173218981631666.post-51678712640227140952008-05-15T12:42:00.000-04:002008-05-15T12:42:00.000-04:00Oh, I'm so sad--it's free at Commerce Bank, even f...Oh, I'm so sad--it's <I>free</I> at Commerce Bank, even for nonmembers, but I checked and there isn't a Commerce Bank within 100 miles of Towson!

If you're doing enough Amazon shopping anyway (and you can split the gift code they give you over several purchases), you can get full value for your coins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001645549331448682noreply@blogger.com
