3 pc sets $185.00 buy it now on the "bay

Jcarney · December 22, 2006 11:46AM

That's a deal. Go for it.

Russ · December 22, 2006 11:49AM

Opened sets? Probably picked over rejects.

Russ, NCNE

John91C · December 22, 2006 11:50AM

I wonder if these are already searched and picked out sets...

Russ, you took the words out of my mouth.

Its easy to break out the 68s and place them

back into their capsules. A bargain is not necessarily

a bargain.

<< 3 pc sets $185.00 buy it now on the "bay >>

No price drop on this case of 10 unopened sets......

mach19 · December 22, 2006 12:01PM

I expect them around 175.00 / if not lower on Tuesday. Time will tell

John91C · December 22, 2006 12:10PM

I wonder how well those will be searched and picked through. I'm weary of buying this late in shipping of the ASE's. Just my 2 cents...

John

wayneherndon · December 22, 2006 12:11PM

I'll take a few sets at $175. Grading rejects are okay.

Wow, a $1000 cow tongue!

twodrhrdtp · December 22, 2006 12:22PM

Mine just sold for 207 plus shipping. Buy it now right below it for $190. No pattern some going 240 some 175 for the same exact auction
I opened mine took a look and was not impressed with the coins so put a 1 day auction and doubled my money

derryb · December 22, 2006 12:39PM

Know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. (my advice, hold 'em).

Jcarney · December 22, 2006 1:02PM

More probably a clueless seller. There are buy it nows hitting over $230 currently.

mach19 · December 22, 2006 1:09PM

10 Sets @ 185.00 each Two just droped to 175.00 buy it now. It won't take until Tuesday

endzone · December 22, 2006 1:15PM

Some people need christmas money and can't wait.
Hold onto them, if you can.
You'll be glad you did...

RedTiger · December 22, 2006 1:21PM

I sold my ASE sets a couple of weeks back for $180 each on BST. At that time the lowest BIN was $185, so it isn't exactly a big price move either way during the past few weeks.

dragon · December 22, 2006 1:26PM

I would make a point that just because someone opened a mint box does NOT equate to "rejected sets" by a longshot IMO.

Example:

I had some boxes delivered to my dads house with clear instructions not to open them when they arrived. Well sure enough, he mistakenly opened the 1st box of 3 sets that arrived thinking it was something else he mail ordered.

I haven't even seen them or been to his house since they arrived and offered them for sale at a good price here with no takers so far. If someone took them, they would be getting 100% unsearched and untouched sets where a disinterested 3rd party accidently opened the outer box.

So don't always assume the worst.

ddink · December 22, 2006 1:39PM

To follow up on what Dragon said, I have neither the time nor the interest nor the money to try and play the plastic slab game. I routinely open boxes, check the items in, and sell them, without even looking at a single one. I'm convinced that I'm not the only one who does that, either.

John91C · December 22, 2006 1:42PM

I hear what you're saying dragin and ddink but in this day and age of "scoundrels" it's hard to "trust" ppl. I know ppl on this board would not intentionally rip ppl off but a lot of ebay sellers do. I think we have to be cautious. It's the only way a savvy buyer can be. It's in pretty much anything we buy...

John

itsnotjustme · December 22, 2006 1:46PM

Dragon,
Same experience here. My Dad ordered 10. I said don't open the box... it will be from fullfillment center in TN. Well he opened the box. My brother, same thing. They thought there was another sealed box inside. I think I will help my Dad sell his using my e-bay account and he ships them (I live in Europe, he in the US). These will be entirely unpicked.

Coin Finder · December 22, 2006 1:48PM

Geez guys and gals ebay is not the measure and be all and end all for prices. My local coin dealer had 10 sets a week ago at $249.00 each, yes already opened, and they are gone...poof. The next will be at $279 and he has buys for 5 of these already.

These long term will be just great. Just like the folks selling off the plats to soon I think, they are not going to realize the potential until much later.

My thoughts.

derryb · December 22, 2006 1:50PM

I agree with you.

Nice to hear the 'Mom and Pop' coin shops are beating out the "Big Box" Numismatic Online Auctions, for now anyway..

boucharda · December 23, 2006 12:32AM

I got an unopened box of 10 last night for $2175 which I thought was a deal. Kinda weird that I probably will have to wait well over a month to see them. (after they're graded)

410a · December 23, 2006 12:46AM

I received one set in time to achieve the "FS" status. The coins
were MS 69/PR68/RV68. They have heavy die striations on them.
I ordered two more sets and received them two days ago. Beautiful
sets absolutely beautiful no striation on any could poss/probable
come back 70s sans the FS designation. Anyone buying these coins
now, IN MY OPINION, might be getting the better of the deal.
If flipping is your game well then have fun, but my OPINION is the
better coins are coming in these sets. Which other board members
have pointed out to me;'who knows what coins were FS with this
kind of coin qualtity received this late.'
Regards, Michael

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Better to walk out of the store with the goods in hand rather than roll the dice on eBay and maybe get someone's junk set.

Just in time for Christmas!! 2007 style.

puritan9 · December 23, 2006 4:37AM

A lot of people are busy now with the Holidays. I think e-Bay is kind of slow. Wait until the beginning of the New Year.

tizofthe · December 23, 2006 6:52AM

Yes ebay is real slow. I just won a NGC 1st Strike Buffalo MS70 for 648.00 and 5 $5 1/10 ouc gold at 64.50 each (breakdown) plus 8.00 shipping. Time to bid is NOW! Time to sell is NOT NOW!
