My point was that if you are looking for that coin then it doesn't matter where it is listed but THAT it is listed. Why search just "Franklin halves" rather than "all categories"....

General search...Franklin Half PCGS....or whatever

Different if you are trolling Franklin half category rather than just searching Franklin halves...

Good point again .. always search in all .. The Fact set not listed in coins ..means .. lower prices reflect market...
The one warning sign is sellers starting to thin out .. meaning sellers following buyers losing interest in set
An interesting buy under 20 bucks
Auctions reflect true market price, value ..not BIns

Auctions reflect true market value if you have a handful of items and a plethora of bidders. I guarantee that if you listed 50 1909-VDB in XF/AU at $0.01 with no reserve that you'll actually end up selling a few for under $1. I know a guy who did something similar - it wasn't a VDB but a similar priced coin.

...and I one got a raw 1885cc Morgan for a $60 'cuz it was listed wrong (as a 1885 no cc) but that doesn't determine true value (actually graded MS65 ATS)

So if I list a set in the category "Pet Supplies" and get a lower price, that price reflects the true market?

You are talking about a 1 off price of $9.73 ..... many 225th set sales in the $20s.,, with many bids ....so set's price discovery not that well hidden ..Just like my ebay score on the 3 Pc 2006 Silver Anniv set... a ways back the going price for the set was circa $279.. my Ebay grab was for $106 ... because listed differently
..Face it .. price is weak for 225th sets .. waiting to grab under 20 bucks

It won't go under $20 bucks anytime soon, because I'll buy hundreds at that number...if there are even that many available. Look at the price of raw cents and raw halves and even the quarter sets. You can break even at $30, you'll easily make money at $20 by splitting them up.

I'll keep saying it...because you expect me to: the price on the raw sets has not moved in months. Still true. Once BE is done dumping their "wholesale collectibles", you'll be exactly where we've always been: $32-$35 BIN, $28-$30 auctions. As it has been for months.

And, at the risk of being accused of pumping...every set that sells DECREASES the supply overhang. They are mostly ones and twos going to people that are going to hold them for a fairly long while.

yawn...

How many people here found it BEFORE it ended?

Probably not too many but there probably weren't too many looking to buy..just to document the sold at prices

No decrease in supply overhang ....over Thanksgiving Holiday, saw 15 boxes unopened 225th sets......over 500 sets sitting in a dealer's garage... unsold ...... look for more dealer liquidation of dog inventory, by yearend, to off set profits made in 2017

Well Best since these are only worth $20 and heading south fast, see if your dealer buddy will sell me the lot at $22 each now and cut his losses

What do you think he should rate you this favor ? ya got to go out and find it your self..LOL

For Dec 1st, on ebay .. set sales ranged from $25 - $32 ....with sales continue on the decline

Any dealers buying ,would offer $ 18 - 23.......My friend stopped buying the sets

Maybe An interesting buy under $ 20

You continue to cherry pick your data...right in the middle of BE dumping sets. BE is selling hundreds of sets at 1 cent no reserve...and they are still getting to $25 to $32, even though they are listed in "wholesale collectibles". And you only want to use those numbers to establish market.

Dealers buying at $18-$23 means a market price of $30 or more. ALL mint/proof sets are dealer buys at 20% to 30% back of retail. Sometimes as much as 40% for the cheaper sets.

Not the only, just the busiest at the moment with their dumping program:

By the way, if anybody still wants to buy one of these sets and lives in the Philadelphia area, the gift shop inside the Philly Mint is still selling these, I saw it there this morning.

That's odd. They haven't sold any online in weeks. I guess they don't pull back their inventory from the gift shop.

I think it's because the gift shop is not run directly by Philly Mint, it's probably outsourced to a company like Aramark. I think I even saw a few commems in the cases for sale dating back to 2011.

FYI... segoja is a forum member.

Looks like segoja loaded up on the 225th sets sold over 70,
Surprised the 1995 W Silver eagle proofhas dropped He has 1 PCGS 69 for sale at $3595,,
sejoga hold the honor of selling the highest price 2006 reverse proof 70.silver eagle back 10 years ago..$5800. lesson to sell Mint products.. fast to get top price

Yup...dumb to put it at auction (repeating myself, I know)

BIN's $37.75 x 2. $36.50, $32.99 today

Not that the difference is anything to talk about but better than the auctions

@MsMorrisine said:
auction prices are falling well under $30 now

closer to 25-30 now

buying at 20 is not a short term winner anymore.

Exactly.

I've maintained for weeks now these sets will continue drifting downward, and that has come to fruition now.

BE has over 150 sets for auction.... nearing 1000 sold so far ?

Proving there is a market, wouldn't you say?

BE is really dragging the prices of these sets down

@coinpalice said:
it is common to have a u.s. mint product to lose 50 percent of it's value or more

Yes it is common but not this quickly.

I agree, not this quickly

the short term price is going to hinge on how many sets BE is going to blow out. I bet he has 1,000's left. why else would he be doing no reserves?

I did one no reserve auction about 15 years ago and got burned pretty bad, haven't done one since

@Manorcourtman said:
These are really looking bad today. Multiple auctions ending in the low 20's on eBay. The market for these is heading for $20 very quickly. I didn't think they would hit $20 this quickly. $15 by mid 2018?......it sure looks like it.

Not as long as the half and cent remain $10+ coins.

The drift downward is no longer slow..
