    They are probably done pulling listings for today as they have left nothing that is going to sell today. >>




    I guess I was wrong. Only 5 left now.

    Wow.

    Quick ebay search for "25th American Silver eagle 5 coin set" shows only 4 listings.

    That's a massacre.

  • How about we start a thread of a running list of presellers?, I'm guessing 90% of them lurk here.

    The lowest prices for sets will be 2-4 days after they get in hand

    Really you think so? Though the first ones out of the gate are the weakest hands, that I agree. This whole presell nonsense is a big joke, half the sales won't even be consummated or won't be what the buyer expected.

    from ebay emails.. they have cancelled over 25 auctions today.. the presells are a call option for sellers to cancel hoping to get a higher price

    Not sure - I sold my APMEX pucks on a 3 day auction as soon they arrived. Hit the sweet spot - $2700 for a raw set.

    Paladin sounds like a candidate for the Preseller Hall of Fame> Cause preselling is a right on ebay - whether you deliver the product or not is totally up to you.

  • I didn't know better I'd figure someone at the Mint and eBay are holding onto sets and trying to drive up the price.

    #3840******7:18 PM.....in process expected to ship 11/18......image A pleasant surprise!

  • I read in a thread somewhere (maybe here?) that someone from the Mint had said orders placed before 7:30pm would receive the coins. Does seem reasonable really. They were in the 3839'sxxx around 6:30pm if I recall correctly. I finally got an order in around then, and ours is in "process" now.

    Maybe it has been said, but just consider just how many weborders got as far as getting an order number then failed at some other point. Happened to me several times. I had one try at the "order review" stage for over an hour all ready to go, then accidently closed the window!!

    So if the first numbers were 38324xxx or so, and 75,000 orders took place to around 6:30 or thereabouts, just how many of these were duplications but received unique order numbers that were never ultimately used? I suspect a very high number. So if my logic follows, perhaps 1 in 5 attempts actually got thru, and perhaps another 4 got order numbers but failed.

    27,000 total orders or so. 4 out of 5 wasted order numbers. So numbers up to about 3842500 very well might have their orders filled. I fell pretty confident even with a 6:30 order. Not to mention failed cards, ordered too many, etc.

    The mint web site was messed up. A lot of phantom orders were in their system. Perhaps they were not fast enough eliminating them. So orders before 7:30 PM could well be ok. Who knows.
  • Preseller beatdown for sure! I see 35 auctions...just the other day 400+!

    Lots of weak hands holding these at the moment. There will be quite a shakeout when these hit mailboxes.

  • AkbeezAkbeez Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm not convinced the poofing = higher prices. All's it means is they WILL FLOOD the market when in hand, since they can no longer meter out.

    Basic laws of economics will prevail once the first few are sold (at moon prices). After the surge, prices will rebound.

    Bummer!!! Perhaps the best sets ever except for the 10th anniv. AGE Proof Set.

    I did have one 2008 W Plat Proof set on B/O for nearly two months and got it. It was great. The day that it arrived for around $1900 the FeeBay BINs were about $4K. The memories... Never know.

    True, but then, the ones preselling may not be the ones getting their coins in the first batch......presellers count on that as one of the reasons they presell to get the flip done and over.
    I don't plan to sell until inhand anyway, and I may even delay a little by getting some graded.....I may not hit the peak, but it is what it is.

    << <i>Another Mint Apology:

    Dear United States Mint Customers:

    We are fully aware of the difficulties many of you encountered last week with the release of the
    American Eagle 25th Anniversary Set. We would like you to know that we have undertaken an
    aggressive review of how we brought the product to market so we can better serve all of our
    customers in the future. Dick Peterson, the Deputy Director of the United States Mint, has also
    directed that the bureau review all future product offerings to ensure that we apply to them the
    lessons we learned from the marketing of the American Eagle 25th Anniversary Set. One of the
    principal sources of frustration was our web and phone order-taking system. As many of you
    know, we are in the process of updating our order management system. Our current system
    is very outdated and we recognize that it does not serve our customers well. Accordingly,
    we recently selected a contractor that will develop and implement our new system–one that
    will be modern and comparable to other top-rated retail Web sites. Unfortunately, this transition
    will take some time; we are anticipating that the new system will be in place by fall 2012.
    Our aim is to work earnestly to ensure that the inconvenience and frustration that our
    regular customers may have encountered last week is mitigated in 2012 as we re-examine
    our product launch strategies and systems. We value our relationship with you and are
    committed to serving you professionally and responsively. You deserve no less!
    The United States Mint >>



    Great to hear, but it does not help those of us who called many hundreds of times and spent over five hours on the computer trying to order w/no luck.

    As to how they can do a better job w/future offerings...perhaps they can just read this forum and they'll know exactly what to expect!

    Until I see some shipments go out, especially 5 set sealed boxes, the US Mint could do anything.

    With apology emails flying and bad press around the sale of these, I still
    don't think we can count out a last minute change, order reduction scenario.

    It could very interesting soon.

    Loves me some shiny!


  • << <i>quit watching ship date it means nothing. Keep your eye on the cancel box, when it disappears you need to be on the lookout for UPS. >>



    First it will change to "In stock and reserved" with cancel box...... and then the cancel box will disappear....That's when to expect shipping
