Jeez that didn't take long. I checked eBay and completed auction prices are nearly all over $50 and some as high as $79.
I knew I should have bought some, but I didn't. So far, I have made purchases from the Mint just for myself and not to resell.
Q: Do you buy sets like this knowing you can flip them for a profit? I know for dealers, the answer is "of course". I am wondering if the other collectors, like me, out there do it too. Maybe next time I will.

edit: after zzz's comment: Nevermind. I guess this thread has turned into a nice place of it's own. Thanks.

The only real outrages one I saw was going for a little over $90 ... WHY ??? there were/are the same coins with zero bids for 1/2 the money ... LOL ... NO SHILL be bidding going on there ??? LOL ...
Most can be had for $50 or less .. only because the starting price is $49.95 .... Patients, they will be had for less ... LOL ...
Guilty.
I usually buy special sets produced by the mint in relatively low mintages with the idea that I will have a few for my own collection and a few extras to sell online or to other collections after the mint sells out.. and then some for holding onto long term in hopes of increased value over time.
Sometimes, and only sometimes, this works. I have made money this way sometimes. Other times I at least made enough money to pay for the ones I kept. I don't have the money to invest in hundreds of sets at a time like some people can do, but a quick flip can sometimes make it possible to increase my personal collection at no or lower cost. I don't look at my collection as an investment like some collectors do. I look at it as purely pursing my interest. If I can make a little money by flipping, it is strictly a side benefit. I wouldn't want the stress of depending on reselling to interfere with the enjoyment of the hobby.

and I had a return policy 7 days no questions, he's retruning them.
Guess on a presell I should have had no returns, but hey I'll relist
them and still get 55.00 each so I can't complain too much,.

I had similar on the Lewis & Clark C&C set...
People were buying my sets at a little more than others were selling for. I have a return policy. One guy bought for $20+ what others were going for. Without his asking, I flipped him back $10 and he was super ecstatic.
No returns did I take. No whining. Etc.
So, if you sell a presell for over going price (I did have my sets in hand though), and they end up going for less, why not give back a few bucks and still end up doing better than if you resell them (unless you are making $$$ on the shipping...which I wasn't)?
btw....anyone have "no returns" policy on a presell and I sure wouldn't be bidding. I'd tell you to not sell until you have them in hand then.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
the begining. I checked him out and he's selling other sets. He just wanted to buy to resell and since prices fell
he's returning them. He said he'd give me feedback once refund is done. But I 'll give him his refund I have a name to
protect. future presells, no return.
I sold 6 of my 8 last week ranging from $50 - $58
