I did 2% and bumped it up to 3%. Maybe a slight difference. I went to 3.1% a couple weeks ago to edge any flat number folks. It seems like no matter what I do, I sell about 10-20% of the BINs within...

Yep. Request it and forget it, then have a present in the mail at some point. I just try to get a new shipping request in every few weeks. Then I get regular COMC mail days.
