But it does blow my mind when on rare occasions, when the Mint's system allows me to pick LONG DELETED CC INFO from the list!!! So all our info...even for old/expired cards...is being stored in there somewhere!
Lets just hope that the Mint ain't storing our credit card info the same way T-Mobile does!
...and be glad we haven't had to give the Mint our DOB, SSN, License #, etc...!

Although I have info for 3 credit cards pre-saved...I've occasionally found that manually typing in the info results in better results...sometimes...but that might just be a coincidence.
This is not coincidence, when you use a stored card, it's making another data call to the mints already overwhelmed server. By manually entering it you save one less step that requires data transfer. I typically order from my phone, and it has my cc info saved, so I just autopopulate from the phone not the mint server data.

You're in for a few 'if lucky enough'? I'm SURE that everyone who only wishes to get ONE will be wishing you ALL the luck in the world!!
Yea love that offer of $60 shipping cost!! What a joke. Besides, I don’t view them as a good buyer—-they are too quick to refund their offers and also are picky about any back orders. I would t deal with them for those reasons.
There are other buyers paying more and stand by thier offers for more than “a few hours” and also offer shipping labels FREE.
I think the high relief gold liberty was the first time I saw them rescind an offer. They even set their cutoff before the email went out. This time with the uncirculated ASE they gave you another 30 minutes to get your email in after their email. I'm pretty sure they realized they screwed up with how they handled it prior and I expect them to be more likely to give you time to send the email in the future.

If the Pinehurst deal was a three legged stool, which includes the US Mint and USPS - My main concern prior to planting my ass down would not be with their Purchase Order agreement, but rather with the two "crooked legs" planted firmly in the swamp.
Makes sense, CXD, whole lotta risk for a typically minis-cull return.
Too many moving parts create too much stress.
I have been buying to hold. Certainly until I have them in hand (or others do) I have no intention of trying to make any deals.
@MsMorrisine said:
just because they STOP an offer does not mean they rescind and offer.
they can't be expected to handle every offer emailed to them.
that said. they haven't rescinded am offer they made TO ME as a result of responding to their emails
Once they hear the order is in b’o status, forget about your agreement.
Where I come from—you put out an offer and you stand by it. I’m not saying forever, but a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise, your a small time player in the market.

Reminds me of an ole' saying...
Fool me once...
Exactly this ^^^^
I view their offers as not firm. Don’t expect them to honor an email even an hour or so after the opening of sales??? Move onto another buyer—there are many of them on the boards.

Are you talking from personal experience? I find nothing wrong with pinehurst they put the offer out ( like many others have done. Then notified the offer was over. Check out other threads from the past and you’ll see the offer go up and not long after they stop the offer. I have had nothing but good experiences with pinehurst. I think you have maybe not done this deal before and really are just opining with out experience.
If you're asking about PFS and their shipping policy - PFS sends you a UPS pre-paid (on them) shipping label to use. I believe they also require you to drop it off at a UPS shipping store too.
Their shipping options are very simple - their payout though is near the bottom from my experience.
@MilesWaits said:
That is a weak offer but they’re not fishing for the healthy top feeding trout.
PFS seems to go after the Airline Miles & Hotel Points community. That community just wants to spend money on anything, just to build up miles and points. It's one thing when PFS wants their buyers to buy Palladium coins (I think they started doing that in 2018)...but most in that community are not going to deal with the web related issues with Mint purchases of hot items...the spend is not worth batting an eye at - as is not the profit to be made either.

Don’t bet on that. Some might be willing to spend a few minutes to make a quick $100. (I mean $100.05)
Adding in the PFS clients to the mix will certainly make it even more difficult Monday.
It’s going to be ugly.

Just wondering if you forgot to show the coins and some sort of receipt from your ase burnished I can’t imagine you getting your coins 18 hours later. I am willing to correct my opinion but not until you produce the goods 🙀

Sorry but I’m speaking for experience. Why is it so hard for some of you to believe that blasting out an email offer to everyone they know and then 90 mins later rescinding it; makes you feel good to deal with them? How about responding promptly to a standing offer and then once they learn it’s backorder—they say no deal? It’s just a wel offer in my opinion and I won’t chase any of those buyers to sell my coins. The offers anyway are weak to boot. With a little more research on the boards and elsewhere you’ll beat their offer without the hassle.
Coiner show the pictures. Doesn’t sound like you understand how things work. 1. Show me an example (you know). Example of a deal you did where you think something is different.2. Still no pictures of your overnight shipment.
At this point I’m very happy for you but don’t buy what you’re selling.

Here is where I say that I’ve been in this game for a very long time-let’s say 50 years. I don’t know what you want a picture of, but if you can’t understand that an offer made by a buyer seeking tens or hundreds of new mint product being offered at noon on a certain day, then renegs on thier offer a mere 90 mins later doesn’t bother you—then by all means keep doing business with them.
Not what I’m asking about. I accidentally posted here but my question was about your 18 hour order/delivery of 2021W burnished. I made a mistake. Sorry. Maybe you could post the pictures on that thread. And maybe not. My apologies

It was easy as long as one was on top of it at the time. That could not really happen again given new return policies, etc. But I digress..

I didn't get a shot at the v75, but I did score 6 - 08 w/rev 07 coins. I quickly sold them all at the early peak for $450 and $500.

You are absolutely correct on the 08 rev 07 ASE. Bought 100; got 65. Bought several more orders of 20 coins each until they stopped showing up. Had well over 100 of those.
Another good deal was the 2001 Buffalo unc and proof dollars. A friend of mine bought a new BMW Z3 off those profits.
