<< <i>All coins are in excellent circulated to brilliant uncirculated condition >>
Darn! No PO01 Ikes in the lot.
Russ, NCNE
There may be that PO01 in there. How much will braddick pay for two or three. May make the whole lot worthwhile.
If I do get them, I have a few freinds to help with the heavy lifting.
I'm worried about the heavy grading on may part. Let's see, circ or unc, 72-P or not. Grade the uncs, look for Type I and Type II 72-P's, and blow out the rest. Of course that may take some time.
How about a consortium????
Who's in???

$1,000.00 for the first that slabs (PCGS) and $100.00 each, up to ten after that. Hurry though... deadline is up August 1st., but might need to extend it if you're the winner of this lot!

If you found a bag of Peacock Ikes in the bunch that would pay for all of them and thensome.
Strangly though, I just don't see that happening...

Still didn't meet the reserve.
Any guess at what the reserve is set at? $175k + eBay fees?

You trouble maker. Now you're going to get me in trouble with my wife.
I'd definitely be in for a couple grand. Any idea on shipping yet?

<< <i> wonder what the shipping is on 4 1/2 tons >>
A big U-Haul truck ought to be able to transport it. It would probably be cheaper for the seller to fly to TX, then rent and Drive the U-Haul back Home.
Even at 175,000 dollars it'll cost too much. I just don't see any profit in trying to buying them, laoding them up, moving them to some other place.
What do you get when you go through th coins? AU55 is about the best you could hope for.
You have to somehow hire a crew to shovel all that stuff into a big dump truck, I guess a backhoe might work too, wihtout them trying to pocket some for themselves.
I guess you could pay the help in coin too, day laborers work out OK.
I suppose that maybe if you have a way to ship them, then maybe you could sell them over a period of time for $1.50 to $2.00 each maybe.
I personally would not bid on them, unless I went down there and took a personal look see myself. They could all be corroded oxidized junk after sitting in that garage or warehouse al these years.
But what the heck, maybe a casino would like them for some kind of a promotion or something. Might be worth it then.
Wouldn't be hilarious if someone tried to pay him with those Ikes?
That would be the best!

Maybe the buyer shoukld buy a house in the seller's neighborhood (or wherever the coins are stored), then cart them with a wheel barrell.
yank all the bu stuff that rolls could be made with and slabbed and/or ready to slab the nice stuff with the
pedigree from the "xyz hoard". anyone notice the almost absurd runup in bu rolls of avg ikes? so with very little bu stuff left, or beat to hell and back and/or the majority sliders and avg circs. more than 1.12 to 1.15 per would almost be be a loser considering flying out paying for 3 tickets,3 help wages,spend 2-3 days there wooping yourselves to death loading, renting uhaul to hold that weight, transport, unload (another few days, spread and sort (weeks/months), then sell (12 to 15mos). but you could mass market the pedigree even on slider unc rolls and probably get decent money. his reserve is probably around 250k. that's about what you could net since the goodies are allegedly plucked already so you'd lose your ass even at 250k. who in the hell owning these would not do this or have done this? a person with this many has had help,knows what he's doing and wants to unload the junk. excellent marketing,etc. he probably got 175K+ for what has been already been moved on the roll bid runup and what is waiting to be slabbed once these are gone. i would more go with these thoughts about this having seen situations like this many a time over the years....rather than think he dont know nothing really other than "i'd just chunk em back basically" yeah, right...
man. There's lots of heavy lifting in the coin hobby and it shouldn't be too
big a problem for most.
These may go for more than you think. The wholesale on circ Ikes bumps
up against $1.30 every once in a while so on a large lot like this there
just might be a little premium. It wouldn't surprise me if they get close
to a quarter million. The buyer will be selling them for a long time probably.
I'm thinking the reserve is at least $200,000 and auction will end somewhere around $260,000.
Arlington is right between Fort Worth and Dallas so maybe Heritage ought to grab them.
Who would want to look through 175,000 Ikes

But, he says in the auction that the coins are unsearched.

<< <i>Seller warrants that he has never searched the coins for specific dates, condition, mint marks or rarities. >>
Russ: he says that he has never searched them...not that he has not had anyone else search them for him.
Just a thought.
So do you actuallybelieve that statement?

Uh oh! Somebody ratted us out.
Russ, NCNE
I sold him several bags (circs) and some BU rolls.
I think you can trust this guy on the lot being unsearched.
Why would he or let anyone else search them?
He's not a coin guy.

If the new high bid of over $180,000 still doesn't meet the reserve, then I'm guessing you're right...
AT if you ask me.
