    What is it they say about looking after the pennies?

    Well, you could spend all day chasing the pennies, meanwhile the pounds are passing you buy.

    Seriously, do you want to be sitting at the dinner table enjoying your evening meal with the family and have someone come knocking at the door for 99p?
  • Just remember that business sellers would have to consider not just you collecting a 99p item, but hundreds of people rocking up in cars all evening outside their house. It doesn't look good does it? And is that how you would want to spend your free time after a hard days work, operating your families home as some kind of order collection centre?

    Don't forget you'd be saving yourself 23p in Paypal fees!

    I hope the OP has a micropayments account for a 99p item, so the fees would be 10p.
