    I've seen them from 3c - 5c each in quantity.

    Local dealers by me still pay 2 cents, but I think if you shop around, you might find someone who might pay 3 or even 4 cents.

    I got $170 for my last bag. Maybe I left $5 on table, but at least I pulled the 55 Double Die out before selling the bag. (In case you missed the thread, yes, really.)

    i wonder what my old boss did with all his bags of Wheats?? when i left in Sept. 2009 he had about 175 bags 1940-1958 plus about another 20-40 bags pre-1940 tubed by date/mm or bagged by teens, 20's and 30's. he had been buying for three cents apiece.

    Keets, was this the same guy on the NE side?

    I sold about $100 in face to that dealer and he had taken to filling those little plastic kiddie pools full of sacs - he was about to finish a 2nd one when I sold mine.

    General buy pricing I see from dealers is 2.5-4x ea.

    CU is at $4.40 lb give or take a few cents so
    weight is 3 cents each.
    Give the laziest man the toughest job and he will find the easiest way to get it done.

    I buy them at 3c and sell the otc at 4c,

    but most of the time its the dealers that buy them from me and I sell to them at 3 1/2 cents

    I dont pay 3c except for good mix, and broken up sets. Solid date rolls, and 40-50's only I either buy at 2 1/2 or pass altogether
