Half a dozen threads complaining about the Mint

And yet, the orders flow in...

Must be worth it though, with all the slabbing and flipping and profiting off this years coins

And only 2 weeks till '07!

Being studious is important in the scope of collecting.
Watch carefully for lots of nice material online during FUN and the following weeks on ebay. (OLDER COINS)
People are in this FRENZY and selling off like there is no tomorrow. Others are saying BUY this , buy that !.

Coins are a crap shoot when you don't know what to do.

1) Get a Red Book
2) Familiarize Self
3) Ask lots of questions
4) hook up with other coin geeks
5) upgrade no matter what series you collect (always go for the better grade as you build)
6) DO NOT THINK that just cuz the mint sells it it's going to go up in value.

There are so many more things and so many more variables with coins,
and to just buy from the mint is like just going to the casino. Be careful with your spending.

All worth it? I don't know. I am tempted to cancel all future orders with the mint just for the hassles I have had the last 2 weeks trying to get my 10 SAE sets from them. Been through it all and honestly its not worth the trouble. I have spent at least 6 hours of my free time on the phone with the last week only to have my order put on hold 5 times and back onto process 5 times. They finally gave in and told me I will receive them but no coins yet.

Just my thoughts!

The production levels for the Mints products have

been so low, as to have been a gift that happens once

a decade. With all of the problems, for most of us, we have

received lovely coins, reasonable well packed and have made nice

paper profits. I really see no major complaints with the Mint this year.

They do tend to obfuscate facts and seem confused at times, but this year,

they did deliver the goods.

Yea. You would think they had a monopoly.

When you're getting in line to buy $1000 items you can quickly flip for $3000 and no alternative source exists, how many people are going to say "Your service sucks so I'm taking my business elsewhere?"

What kind of job do you have that $250 an hour is not worth the hassle?

($1500 or so profit on an unopened 10-set box / 6 hours = $250 per hour)
