What is up with Mint sets

I have been trying to buy mint sets from 1999-2006 on ebay tonight. I have been outbid on 10 auctions tonight for more money than I would expect for these to go for. Am I missing something? I know these have more coins in them but dang.

    maybe the cold weather is keeping people inside.

    so many have been broken out that the supply of originals is running out. There are also more new collectors looking for them.
    PEACE! This is the first day of the rest of your life.

    I can't help but suspect the supply/ demand lines have finally crossed.

    This will appear first on those which are in shortest supply such as the early issues, and on those which are in
    the greatest demand such as the states quarter issues.

    That cumulation of 99-06 barely reached Greysheet bid. After paying Meg her taste the seller would have better off selling them to a local dealer.

    I recently sold a bunch of sets from 1970's to 2000's. They all did terribly. Took a few tries on some of them to even get a sale.

    I think the 99-06 sets are in demand because of the quarters.
    Other sets are easier to get.

    well I guess waiting around ebay and trying again is the way to do it. I just picked up 1999 P&D for 18.01 and 2005 P&D for 16.49. I do not think that is bad.

    The seller IS a "local dealer" in or around Dayton, Ohio. Probably some little ole lady is the real loser.

    i know i`ve taken a few sets out of the mix searching out statehood quarters for 2 dansco set i`m putting together. one with BU and clad and silver proofs and the other P&D BU only. most are from mint sets with a few from mint rolls. the 2 sets i`m building total 300 coins. i cut up countless mint sets if it contained high grade quarters. i would imagine there are many others doing the same. supply is shrinking image
