My guess was overheating. (Put it in a ZipLock, then into the freezer until ice cold, and it's back)
I have a new one on the way, just in case.
Also, just in case I'm not around to respond to PMs and posts here, the most likely culprit would be that "the router died." Hopefully the new one will be here sometime Tuesday. >>

I'm going to call the wholesalers again tomorrow and see if they heard anything new.
I could call the Mint HQ again, but I don't want to harrass them though. I don't think they are aware that I'm not one of their Authorized Purchasers. I didn't lie to get them to call me back, I just ""forgot"" to provide any unnecessary details about myself. I'd hate to ensure they don't call me back when the time comes.
I can get a call back from the wholesalers because I'm a potential customer. I'm not whale enough to buy directly from the mint. I forgot to tell them that.

I'm trying to get just the wholesalers' markups, but no one is talking.
"Won't know until Monday"
So, we all are waiting on these things to go on sale to know pricing. That is bad because these things sell on the same day. It's not a matter of first, it's a matter of keeping the deal intact.
I'm not sure how to proceed from here. How can I ask anyone to send a check without even a ballpark???

This is why we B&M's earn our money making this stuff available to people.
You are going to have to front some serious money to pay for the monster boxes (assuming you can get them). Figure a high estimated price and have everybody send you their check NOW. They have to get to you and clear before you can access the funds to pay the distributor. You can send refunds with the coins.

We expect to buy some and, if and when we get them, sell them, but right now we cannot guarantee that we will be able to buy any. Therefore, we are not pre-selling any. TD

I just found out that APMEX is an Authorized Purchaser.
Had I known that I wouldn't have started this.
I won't be able to beat APMEX's price.
On top of that I have funding issues with these.
Even if I get funding, I'm afraid too many will back out once APMEX's price is listed, and I don't want to be stuck selling each one at a loss on eBay.

I wasn't part of the deal but thanks anyway for trying MsM! Everything turned out to be against your project. Short timing, high prices and lack of information didn't make it possible. You may have better luck next year (if the US Mint plans the release in a better way).

I'm glad that "you've seen the light." Your undertaking would have been a clusterfork.

The wholesaler spoke to the mint 2 days ago.
There is still no release date for these things. Still!
Forget about pricing right now since the release date is not known.
if you get things work-out
thanks

i doubt that it will be easy to get a large quantity
better off fighting the crowd on your own
just my opinion

Happy Holidays i sure understand
I hope we keep this thread and the one over at US Coins running through December!

This is already a clusterfork.
They aren't even on sale yet.
However, had I been able to buy them, they overall clusterforkedness for everyone would have been less.
Lots of hassle for me, but less pain for everyone.
This is mayhem right now.
