what is a boxed proof libertad set worth?

I was buying some 90% at a we buy gold store today and he had a 2013 proof libertad boxed set in the display case. It looked like a 1 oz. 1/2 oz. 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz in a felt lined box either wood or simulated wood.

Is this a set put together by a 3rd party or do they come that way? He was getting ready to close so I didn't get a chance to inquire about price. I'm not into paying premiums but if I could get it at a good price I'd grab it to flip .

    They should be official. I have a set, should come in a nice box with banco de Mexico lettering on it. They do carry a premium, if you can get it for cheap jump all over it. Used to be the only way to get one of the fractionals if memory serves, but I'm not 100% on that.

    That should be an official box. I owned a few in the past, those are amazing sets in my opinion.
    Never bought or sold under $130/$150. I feel that they go for more now.

    I know it sux, but this is the only pic I had online of my box/set. If it looks like this and you can get it cheap buy it.

    This is a 2010 set and it has the 1/20 in there. I want to say that was the only way to get the small one back in the day but like I said I'm not 100% on that.

    I'll swing back by there today if possible. I'm almost afraid to bring it into the house . My girlfriend has an unfortunate thing for the number 13 and there are too many 13's in that box. If she sees it I won't be able to flip the damn thing. image I'll wind up making a present of it .

    If you get it for 50 or 60 I'll double your money.

    Was it like this?

    Anything under $150 is a good deal, IMO.

    Well I called him up and he was thinking $200 so it will be tough to get a deal on it. He may come down off that but so much for the flip for a profit idea image.


    When I first started going there it was easy to get pretty good deals but he's wised up recently

    200 is entirely too much, that's more than retail!!

    He has a decent amount of foot traffic so he likes putting things like that in the display case. Someone probably will pay him close to that eventually .

    On the flashy stuff he is high I bought 90% at 15x face yesterday and I buy a lot of wedding bands a hair back of melt but I've never closed a deal with him on anything in a display case image I don't see this deal happening anywhere near melt where I like to be.

    APMEX has the 2013 set available @ $249.99. That's retail....the ebay set is priced slightly higher

    Dang that seems higher than I thought. I want to say last year they were at 200 at one point that I saw, but I'm obviously libated and very possibly confused this Saturday evening. I got mine from apmex back in the day and it was 129~ish if memory serves.
