It’s only 4,000 dollars and you might get a Star Wars “coin” - oh boy!

    I am probably misinterpreting your announcement, yet it comes of as being ever so slightly sarcastic.
    Perhaps I am just reading more into it.
    Either way, thank you for the information. I wasn't aware.

    Vault Box is good. Vault Box is bad. Vault Box purchasers are naive. Vault box purchasers enjoy a little risk. TPGs that offer “surprise packaging” predate on the innocent. TPGs that offer “surprise packaging” fill a demand.

    That settles it.

    This is neither supposed to be a deal, nor even much of a gamble. 10 slabs, with one Red Core guaranteed, just looks like more of a liquidation to me.

    For any Fanboys who want to take them out of their buy-backs, it's probably less of a ripoff than any of the other series. And, it gives them an opportunity to flip out once again, at full retail plus, their inventory.

    I guess it's an alternative to cracking them out and recycling them in a future series. Maybe a sign there won't be future series?

    @Creg don't forget that these are or are not unregulated lotteries that should be shut down hard or allowed to fill the desire of the risk tolerant purchasers :wink:

    It's starting to feel a bit like they are using the "How to boil a frog" method to go to market. $4K is full boil for sure... or is it?

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    Well, Wittercoin has a $5k box. But I'm pretty sure it actually has a lot of value to it.

    This product is beyond insane. I don't want to hear about the habits of other consumers, they are wrong.

    Hopefully that wasn’t a premonition

    I didn’t bother to see if these sold out quickly so I’m checking with you on your pants situation as a possible indicator😀.

    I’d like to know how many of these went to people that want to own them vs resellers.

    And the HHL was set for only one!!!! Geeeeeshhhhh.....

  • privatecoinprivatecoin Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Remix sounds scary. Like reselling all the returns.

    For a random person buying off the website yes but there are multiple sellers on Whatnot with a good bit more than one box that they purchased.

    Earlier in the stream, the seller in the pic below was auctioning off single coins by what number they were labeled in the container before revealing them and was averaging under $400 per coin on what people were paying. They were trying different formats to auction off the coins to maximize returns as well but I didn’t stick around to see the results.

    The scary thing about the one box that I saw them open was that even the red core comped under $400.

    That's what it is. The coins that were sold back for the instant offers. Returned to NGC to be reholdered with a new label, and sold to you.

    This coin was owned by a little old lady, who kept it in her safety deposit box and only brought it out once a year to look at it.

    They partner with what knot. So alot of the boxes go to what knot leaving very few for the public to actually buy.

    Positive BST as a seller: Namvet69, Lordmarcovan, Bigjpst, Soldi, mustanggt, CoinHoader, moursund, SufinxHi, al410, JWP

    Aren't they specific dealers? Whatnot doesn't sell coins. In fact, Witter is a whatnot dealer.
