@jmlanzaf did you cancel your order or something? LOL!
Lol. No. Not yet.
I just got 8 from the MINT. They sold at 179 in a couple days.
They were slower moving than before, but the price seems stable at the moment.
I've been debating cancelation all week. The fact that 12,000 are available again makes me think i may cancel half of them. Idk. I still have 220ish on order. I have 10 presold to a dealer. Do I want/need 210 in inventory with classes starting imminently?
Or since I'm still making $30 or so per set, should I buy a couple hundred more? Lol
Oh no! I don't think you want 1 couple hundred more, although we should be approaching the end of what the Mint will have to offer.
With classes starting imminently, and sales steady but slower, you might have time to handle all your shipping needs and still teach. What subject do you teach these young folks?
Chemistry.
I don't want to have time. LOL. That means my inventory isn't moving.
It's a math problem with a crystal ball. If the price holds, which it rarely does forever, I'm spending $27k to make $6k. That's a nice return even if it takes me roughly 20 hours to pack and ship.
But if the price drops $20, then I'm spending $27k to make $2k and that's still good for 20 hours week.
But if the price drops $30 or more, then I'm breaking even our losing money even after I spend the 20 hours.
And a $30 price drop is still $149 per set. Could they reasonably drop to $125 by Christmas?
I really need to get my crystal ball fixed.
Ah, not one of my life’s highlights. Always struggled with the sciences. I was always more of a math-guy.
Your investment numbers work out, but I don’t think dropping over 12,000 more sets into the market at this stage is good for secondary price stability. They’ve only moved 600 sets this morning and have 12186 left. Granted, people don’t yet know they're available yet again. ,
Yes. I noticed the sluggish pace of sales. Lol.
Could be just that nobody expected this to come back at this level. It's a pretty quiet period with the Mint, so perhaps people aren't checking the site as aggressively as before. Next "big thing" is the next quarter and the BOM4 to bring major traffic back to the site. Zero issues with getting on this week. I did place an order, and noticed a new "verify you're human" box to click on, so I think they've been actively working to address the bot concern before the next big drops.
I don't know. I just got notification that they shipped 16 more sets to me. So maybe I can sell those before the market craters. Lol. But not if the Mint can't sell the last 11,000 sets soon.
Yes, it’s creeping along and the word is out.
On another note, the clad proof set has been returning ATB all week long. They seem to come and go in spurts, but it’s daily.
Should be gone by Monday then, as you calculated. Unless, of course, you get the itch to buy some more????
I looked at the sales reports. Looks like there were 14,000 returns of cancellations been July 20 and July 26.
So you think they need until August 21 (the backorder date) to repackage those that had been opened?
No. Not necessarily. They may well have been cancelations. I forget when those 30,000 were sold. They could be cancelations. They might also be minting replacements for returns. Really impossible to say. But I think that's where the 13,000 came from today. They were showing 294k+ sales before that. It dropped to 280k on the 26th and then crept back up to 287k on August 10th.
I wish they'd sell out again. Lol.
9505 on this beautiful Friday morning. Go get 'em!

I feel like I'm going to hate myself either way. LOL. If the market is soft and I struggle to unload the 200+ units, I'll be sorry I didn't cancel some of them. On the other hand, if the market stays steady and I sell them all, I'm going to be sorry I didn't buy more.

It seems pretty steady and consistent, but for how long? This new drop of 12,000 doesn't ship until next Friday, but is that enough time to unload 200? I feel like the attention will stay on this set until the Proof clad set (in the Fall SOMETIME) as attention has certainly faded away from the Silver proof set.

My 200 are mostly probably skipping next week also. About 25 of them shipped yesterday.
I don't know. Like I said, I may regret it either way.
The cents are still selling for 75 to 90 each.
