Just got an email from my guy at a major numi dealer (I do lots of business with them), buying at $425 a set. At this point I'll go on record and predict most donks won't get a single set with this kind of buy pressure.
If sellers are already preparing for unopened sets to be sent to whomever buys them, or wins the auction, aren't they concerned about the fact that the U.S. Mint packing slip will be enclosed, along with the address to which the coins were initially shipped?
Of course, if it/they is/are sent to a grading service, probably a non-issue, but what of individual buyers having that information along with the coins?
Seems like a huge security risk to me.

Good point...what info is on the enclosed slip? >>
the same info they get when you sell on ebay, bst or anywhere..... its got your return address on the box.

I have sold to MCM and Coinfame in the past, no problems, and I feel safer with them having that info rather than a unknown on Ebay.

Normally when selling to to these parties if they open the box, the packing slip is returned to you along with payment. If they don't open the package the info inside ends up at PCGS or other TPG and is probably shredded or otherwise destroyed.
When I sold sealed boxes to an individual like on Ebay or someone who pays first, I sent a SASE so they can return it if they open it them selves. Have had no problems. No CC info on it just name and address and order #.
The security risk is there. Who knows where that sealed box will end up... Your best bet is to only sell sealed boxes that have your packing slip addy as a PO Box or similar...if you're dealing with who knows who on ebay. Of course, much less risk to reputable dealers or TPGs.

I'd check fatwallet. They always have the latest US mint coupon codes. Entering the US mint website from MR Rebates gets you a free set of Ginsu Steak knives. I go around the house cutting nails. Amazing. Piece of sheet rock just fell of the wall the other day though. Not sure why.

Both save time when checking out.....you don't have to check them but you will add a few steps to your checkout (and wait for each page to hopefully load before the system crashes)
Enabling quick checkout will eliminate some "text box typing" when you are paying for your online purchase, using saved shipping addresses and Credit card information. I answered yes to that question with no harm for 11 eleven years.
I also answer yes to the credit card info being saved. This keeps the number on file so you do not have to have the card literally in your hand for typing in the text box for every purchase. Once again, no trouble for 11 years caused by this choice. This setting also speeds up any "impulse buys" you may make as there is less time to reconsider as you do not have to get out your credit card and think about it. LOL HM

Just got the e-mail from George at MCM offering $85/set over mint price for seled sealed sets (it's posted on BST also). MCM pays an additional $35 (max) for S&H.
That's a quick $425 profit for the flip and is tempting.............
No offense but rather just a straightforward question...has anybody dealt with mintproducts.com before? Are they as reliable as our regulars here like MCM and others?

free. just accept the 4.95 shipping.

They are remaining mum on the subject. Maybe waiting for the big dealers to speak.

Not in our lifetime...US Mint will need to upgrade their system first before anything with this potential sells out in 1 day.

if your order is over $300 it gets upgraded to overnight. if you buy one set it will go usps ground unless the mint changed something.

<< <i>It's down from $100/ea last night... >>
I never saw an MCM post for $100/ea premium last night. Only somebody saying it here. Was it really at $100?
<< <i>Not a bad deal RedHerring. Maybe you should wait a bit, see what the demand is like, just sayin. >>
I agree. My minimum "quick flip" price was $100/ea over mint price. I'm getting 10 sets and holding for today.
<< <i>MCM is paying 100/set IF you send in 20+ sets >>
I will be waaaaaaaaay short of 20 sets... so i will not get 100/set then
