With shipping and handling, QVC is selling a motorized coin sorter with 100 wrappers for $30. And with a minute to go, they've sold almost 1800. Why bother spending money on a motorized coin sorter when you could just count it yourself (good for kids especially) or bring it to someplace like Commerce Bank that has a machine to do it for you even without a bank account there?
Oh... they just mentioned 2 plausible reasons: you can wrap coins to bring to the laundry and to the casino. I don't know how I will deal with not having in-house laundry anymore. I'm so used to just doing it whenever I want to, and leaving it in the dryer until I remember to take it out. I love that flexibility.
Now the guy is talking about Coinstar-like stuff that takes out fees. Commerce doesn't do that, and they give you a gift if you guess within like $1 of the actual amount you put into the machine. More fun - and no need to waste wrappers! If you don't wrap all quarters, how many coins must you have to roll to really make the machine worth the money?
They've moved on to a spice rack, and the guy was like, "You could even double stock this bad boy." I'm sure that's what he said; I can't be hearing things. You better get the spice rack - once it's gone it will be gone forever! Forever, do you hear? :) And now one of the guys just pronounced oregano, "Oregon." Oh QVC...
But they can keep playing with the carousel spice rack. I need to get back to my paper. :)
