    Reckless? What, exactly, is my downside risk? Not getting a set from A-Mark because I received a set from FiedeliTrade or MTB or APMEX? Then I get my money back and I am out some time on their website and/or a 44 cent stamp. Upside? Have a set of pucks that have a market value greater than my cost. Really don't see the downside

    I can't wait to get mine. It's a win-win situation for me. Say the premium stays high. Awesome, I'll flip them for a nice profit that will help me a lot (I'm a college student, after all! If I think I can make more by having them graded I'll do that.

    If the premium drops, I'll just keep them as a cool investment. I doubt my copy stand is tall enough to get good images with my 150mm Sigma lens though!! lol

    The cross-referencing probably means that if a person puts in 2+ orders with a small change to their address (eg. changing the suffix from rd to road) from the same AP it would be considered short-sighted and almost reckless. The AP's can probably scrap both orders because of this.
  • Out of interest, with regards to APMEX and their 'Alert Me' system, someone mentioned earlier about those being first on the Alert Me list will get first option to buy...can we take a quick survey to see when everyone set their Alert Me?

    I think that the individual alertmes (from before the offering of the 5-coin set) were all deleted. At any rate, they aren't there now.

    That would make sense.


    It seems:
    Everyone was alerted.
    Coins went on sale.
    Coins sold out.
    New alert came up, alert me when more coins go on sale.
    Wait.

    Interesting. Apmex gets what... 3700 sets? They distribute one set per HH to the first 1000 pre-sale sets which equals what... 380 sets? Apmex is then left with 3320 sets right? So where did the other 1320 sets disappear to?

    Unopened MTB box brought $4K!!!!!

    An unopened set went w/o bidders yesterday w/a starting bid of about $2200. Does anyone understand this???

    Read the ad for the $4K set - what do you think? Is this a forum member??

    Other ads still say that 2010 is unique in that no furture issues will be 3", which we all know is false.

    $4K for an MTB set. WOW.

    Fidelitrade... spoke with them today, they will send emails out in the next day or two to the first batch of orders. They will deposit checks, and depending on clearing time will ship fedex saver on Tue following clearing of check. (aprox 10 b-days)

    A-Mark ( - special tel number for "customer service" - 310.319.0388.) Spoke with them, the girl (Bianca) said the coins are all at PCGS now being slabbed, - all coins will be slabbed the same way (she didn't know much about grading/BU/FS etc.) she said, that they don't know yet who/how they'll ship, but that if you got an email with a order number - you're good to go - and that they will follow up in 2 weeks with status and more shipping details. >>



    Nice update, thanks! image >>



    How much will that slow down slabbing of non-A Mark coins?

    I wonder if the folks who Fed-Ex'd their stuff to FTrade somehow got preference over the UPS deliveries. Looks FTrade has a business arrangement with FedEx. Maybe FedEx delivered earlier. >>



    FedEx First am delivery (or whatever it's called). I didn't use it because they can deliver as early as 06:30 and if no sig. they come back later. A forum member who works for FedEx said that you can forgo the sig. I didn't know that. FedEx Priority ON delivered at about 10:20.

  • You know...I got to thinking today...

    I'm still worried that AMark isn't being completely honest. But I bet PCGS gave them one HELL of a deal. Maybe even slabbed these for free. Why? A large number of people are going to want to get them graded--they're not going to be happy with the choice unc status. So who will they send them back to? PCGS. Not NGC, because PCGS already has their FS designation on it and you won't have to pay for the FS again, right?

    In doing this for AMark, PCGS is putting their name on 15,000 coins, some of which may end up back with them to get a real grade. Not too shabby.

    You are right, very smart.

    It's too bad they also have to be so expensive. I mean what $25 extra per coin, 200 something for the set.............greedy.

    It's absolutely insane. Things are changing daily. But with the fast sellout with AMark and given that it will probably be a few more weeks till more pucks arrive...through the legitimate channels anyway, that probably pushed that set over the top. Especially if there's a chance someone could score 69s and beat the Amark/FTrade rush.

    Registered USPS.....

    I don't see where ebay allows the use of registered as a shipping option and I don't want buyers to be misled on shipping time as registered is typically the slowest.

    So I list the longest time to deliver "4-13 bussiness days" with the knowledge for the buyer that I am using the best/most secure option.

    In this case, it took about a week to arrive for the buyer.

    Guys.....

    Sit back and think about this a while.

    If you werent flipping these, who in the h&ll would buy these goofy looking discs for 2000+

    Insane.

    95% of those posting to this thread are in it for the flip. Not condemning you at all, more power to you. I do the same.

    But you've got to also think that 50% or more of the buyers from AMARk yesterday probably dont even know what they bought.

    I got a call too! He offered me a set but I turned it down because of my A-mark order and possible FideliTrade order. I probably should have taken it though and sold it since it would have arrived earlier than the others if paid by bank wire.

    Miles, question, did u ship your set USPS registered? I did not know Ebay does not have a tab for usps registered mail. I have never used it as I am hesitant to sell big ticket coins on ebay. I have been told registered is the safest way to ship, but I also thought usps would not insure bullion coins?
