If that is the case go snatch the ones for 415 and 425

That would cut way into my profits.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>You have to be kidding me on this one?
Why? I think it's a fair question.

Why? Because you should do some homework on go look at the pre-sales buy ads in the BST. Then you should go look at the megathread.
Once you do that, you should decide if you are going to pre-sell them or wait until they are inhand. If you wait until they are inhand, then you should look at what they are going for at the time you want to sell them.
If you want to pre-sell them, then you take what is there.
I understand it can be very nice to have people spoonfeed you answers about a flip (and not just talking about you...there are more out there asking questions like this), but only YOU can decide what is an acceptable price you are willing to take. If you want someone to answer it for you, then a "fair price" to sell would be $299.95

<< <i>With mcm paying $485 a set >>
I thought MCM is only paying $100/set ($399) if you have large qty??
<< <i>With mcm paying $485 a set i would say $550for a bin would be fair and you still leave the buyer a chance at flipping them once they're actually released and prices go higher once people start to see them/hold them and deside to add a set to their collection. >>
Really? That's not the amount he's posted.
1-4 sealed sets $75 per set over USM cost
5 sealed sets $85 per set over USM cost
20 or more sealed sets $100 per set over USM cost

You didn't have to read the thread.
Nor did you have to belittle me for asking a simple question.
Other posters seemed to think it a fair question.
It seems some long-time posters to this board don't realize that newcomers may not be familiar with the system here.
No need to get snide or nasty.

Dude, get use to it.
The high and mighty and ethics police are in full force.
How dare you want to make a profit.
I give out help quite a bit.
Nasty and snide? Whatever.
You may be new (there is nothing wrong with that) but if you can't be bothered with trying to figure some things out yourself, then it seems you want all the answers laid out in front of you and, guess what? For things like this, there aren't always pat answers. 10 people will give you 10 different answers. I actually gave you advice, but you obviously didn't want to see it.
So, tell us, was it just the flip that brought you or do you collect as well? If so, would love to see a thread from you on what you collect and pictures if possible. I honestly think that would be cool.
As for the flip part....it is what it is....learn and go with it

Ya...get used to it. Some people just like to start fights
You are definitely not the only person trying to make a little money

Well, I really didn't ask for advice, I asked for opinions.
Granted, the two are similar but I asked what OTHERS would do, not what should I do.
I collect world coins and have posted on the World Forum here.
Now I have advice for you: be nicer to newbies, give advice in a supportive manner, not a condescending or insulting one.
Can't we all just get along?

thats the exact amount he posted... USM cost + $85.00 = $485.00
<< <i>If you were to sell unsealed Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Sets on eBay, what do you think a fair BIN price is?
IMO an unsealed set would be valued by adding up the individual prices of each of the five coins in the set.
My guess at a *minimum* would be $325 for the 2011-S burnished, $250 for the 2011-P reverse proof, $125 for the other three combined, total $700 per set. However, I would set the price considerably higher and then come down in increments if necessary.
Once the sets are released and actively trading, you can get a clearer picture by tracking the successful BIN prices.

He's looking for the highest amount that actually has a chance of selling.

If that's the truth, then I would say :
Take a chance ... put it up on a ten day auction starting at a dollar in a fair market place and notify me by PM. I'm sure it will go way over mint issue price. Let's put Fair on Trial. I promise you it won't be painful, mi Amigo.

Thanks for that handy link!

And the single set prices are going up too, six days to go on this auction, currently @ $710, one set

Maybe, but it never happened with the 2006 sets.
A year from now the melt value of these sets may exceed the mint issue price.

"Now you cant be going around saying that about the great Bochi"... well yes you can.. great observation...Kinda makes you say Hmmmm?
To answer the original question my opinion would be whats fair to both seller and buyer in free market. AS of this posting seems like north of $550. would be in the ballpark. JMHO ..
Rick,
I love the contrarian attitude and I can't predict the price of silver over the next year or so...but barring something unexpected...I think you're crazy.

No sour grapes. I got my sets in the 1st 15 minutes. I just call them like I see them...and when I see people being lazy or gloating, I call it out. I do get attacked by those people, or others, like metalsman, who start threads in the PM forum to try to guilt people into taking a deal that was not a done-deal, then he goes out of his way even more...and when I, and others, state that there was no done deal, the other person was a good guy, etc, he decides to come after me here.
That's ok....I'm an adult and am fine with him coming to attack...just like your post above saying "sour grapes" and "nothing nice to say". You must not read all my posts, or are very selective
I do think metalsman is coming very close to stalker and attack status on me though ....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Stalker or attack....not even close ... quite the contrary.... you seem to be quite the stalker or attacker on many threads here on these boards as evidenced by many others comments. I'm just pointing out how you have chosen to not answer an OP's original question here in this thread except to state your opinion about how they are "being lazy or gloating" as YOU see it. I didn't know that was your responsibility or you where appointed to moderate here. Last I knew its still SM1. I like MANY others have pointed out that your commments are over the top and unwelcome. If you don't have the answer or like what someone is asking... just walk on by... simple for mature people but not all. Maybe you need to chill as has been suggested on these boards..... oh well. JMHO.

You mean This thread over in the the PM forum where metalsman went back and erased all of his posts? You know because righteous people always try to hind what happened.
