They both cap out at $1000 coverage for collectibles but won't tell you that when you buy insurance. It's a scam. Just get private insurance.

Agreed about the insurance. I've bought it on expensive stuff, but never on cheap stuff unless the buyer really wanted it.
One caution about the cardstock mailers though. I used to use them with the click and ship through Ebay, which gave tracking for either free or very little.
Except one mailer came back postage due. Apparently tracking can't be done if the item isn't a package. And the regs are contradictory. A mail piece over 1/4 inch thich or not flexible will be charged as a package. But as far as deliver confirmation goes, it has to be over 3/4 inch. I took it back and added a packing peanut making it an inch thick pillow shaped package, rather than pay the priority rate they wanted. The PM was more annoyed that they had demanded the previous years rate ...
