You're going to lose money on this. There's about 725 pre-'82 cents in 5 pounds. The most anyone is going to pay for these is 1.75 cents each, and that's the total price including shipping. So you're looking at $12.70 - $5.35 your shipping charge. That leaves $7.30 as the top bid, and you pay eBay and Paypal at least $1.20 in fees out of that.
If you had fifty pounds or more that would make the cost of shipping much lower per coin, you might get as much as 2 cents each. You'd end up with more than face value, but not a lot more.
To make this worth the time, you have to find a way to sell them that takes the shipping cost out of the equation.
I save them myself and can spend a few idle hours listening to music or a game on TV, which I do anyway, and pull what you did out of bank rolls, and get them for face value. Why pay more than face value and shipping on top of it?

Yahoo Answers is not called Yahoo CLASSIFIEDS for a reason. You are supposed to ask questions, not try to sell your crap.
