    20 minutes? More like 2 hours to get through if past history is any indicator.

    Since you seem like a nice guy I'll remind you that it times out in 30 minutes. But don't remind anyone else I'm trying to beat to the goods. image

    How long will it take do you think to sell out... 250k seems like a lot

  • CladiatorCladiator Posts: 18,233 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The site says shipping will begin in Mid October and to allow 10-12 weeks for delivery. That puts it into 2007.

    Don't count on it. They timmed me out in less than 15, and I was looking all around. Trying to prevent that. image

    I ordered two gold sets and one silver set. Placed two orders and it was slow.

    One order says "Your order request is on hold". The other order says that "Your order request has been suspended" Does anyone know what the suspended message means? You don't think the gold set is sold out yet?

    Order confirmed, expected ship date 10/06. I only bought 1, and if my wife finds out she'll kill me. But it's so shiny.

    << <i>Order confirmed, expected ship date 10/06. I only bought 1, and if my wife finds out she'll kill me. >>

    Not to worry. If she threatens to kill you, you still have a month or so to cancel.
  • KaelasdadKaelasdad Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭
    LOL--I convinced mine that these were special--so she ordered some too...
  • CladiatorCladiator Posts: 18,233 ✭✭✭✭✭
    So it's $100 for the silver set. What do you think they'll be selling for on eBay this time next year?
  • Coins101Coins101 Posts: 2,603 ✭✭✭
    Got mine:

    10 -silver sets
    2 - gold/silver sets

    30 minutes for the silver and 2 minutes for the gold/silver.

    Once you bozos got done tieing up the website, I was able to go in and place an order within 3 minutes.
  • KaelasdadKaelasdad Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭
    I went back to check my order and now it says it cant find it.....but its still in my account order history--im thinking its a glitch.

    ditto. About 2 minutes from start to finish - if you have an existing account.

    I just ordered over the phone and they said I wouldn't be charged until shipping in mid October,

    All this excitement over modern crap bullion? image
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
  • swestswest Posts: 354
    Ouch...double ouch.

    Ok I got caught up in the silver fever. I bought 1 gold set and 3 silver sets earlier today. Then after reading all the excitement I just ordered 3 more silver sets. I came so close to ordering another gold set it isn't even funny.

    Now I am in for $3300ish. Between that and the gold buffalo's, the mint has their hand DEEP in my pocket. I am starting to feel really glad I sold two buffalos.

    Personally, I really don't see how these all won't go up in value. The collectors are going to want the silver ones, no doubt about that, especially the reverse. Also, the gold is backed up by..well gold. I mean the melt price is around $1900 for the 3 ounces so the downside certainly seems minor compared with the upside. I just wish I could buy more than 1 image.

    oh well.
