Group Buy of 2009 Silver Eagle Monster Box with Boom and Puttogether

Folks -
For the last few days Boom and I have been figuring out the best way we can to do a group buy on a Monster Box of Eagles. What looks like is going to happen is that we are going to split the cash upfront to buy one cash in hand from a place I found that has them in stock. I'm not sure the final details on which one of us payment should be sent to, or which one of us will do the final shipping out, but we wanted to get a feel for how many fellow forum members would be in on a solid commitment to get a roll. We aren't going to mark them up or make any money, we just want to get the rolls for the cheapest we can and help others do the same. We will each keep a couple out of the box, but the rest will be up for grabs. The place I found them is currently selling a sealed monster box for about 721 times spot, or about $8600 cash right this second.
Our plan was to post up this thread to see if there was interest in going along with us - obviously if no one wants to, we probably won't do it. We will also pay attention to spot over the next 48 hours and try to lock a price as cheap as we can, but we both agreed we don't want to miss out over a couple of cents.
Estimated pricing as of right this second would be:
8600 for the box divided by 25 tubes = 344/tube of 20 plus shipping. Note that this is an estimate and can and probably will vary a little bit depending on what spot is the second we place the order. We will offer the tubes out to you guys at the same price we paid, you just have to cover the actual shipping to you, and of course the paypal fee if that is how you want to pay. You could also use cashier's checks or money orders.
Post up here if you would like a roll given the pricing estimate above. Please make sure that if you tell us to mark you down for one (or two, or three) that you follow through, as we really don't want to get stuck with the whole box ourselves.
The second we lock the final price we will post it up here and ask to collect the money. We will ship to you as soon as we get your funds.
Once you've committed for a tube and we go and buy the box, we are in it together regardless of silver movement.
Just to be clear on the estimated pricing
If we bought the box right this second, it is $8600 in cash, or $344/roll.
Now let's say that spot dropped $0.30 just before we lock the order. Now the box will cost $8385, or $335 a roll.
If spot goes up .30 before we can lock, the box will cost $8820 or $352.8 a roll.
I will keep a close eye on spot over the next 48 hours before locking us in at a price to try and get them for as cheap as we can, but obviously we don't want to second guess ourselves and fight for pennies, since it won't make a MASSIVE difference in price.
Knowing that the price will more than likely be between 335-350 a roll, we need as many rolls spoken for in advance as we can, so that we can actually go through with the purchase.
If this wasn't clear, feel free to ask questions.

Anyone wanting to go in with us on a Green Monster please sign up here.
I had tried to get it done as evidenced by my thread as seen HERE and ran into PutTogether..
He has access to a box like NOW. While we will not wait and dicker over a few bucks, we're hoping for a slight drop so that ALL OF US can get better deals. Neither of us is out to make a dime but by the same token, neither of us wants to bet burned or stuck with half a box each of 09 ASE.
So - for all interested, please state your commitments here and or on my original thread.
Speak with either one of us at anytime because whatever the price is at that given moment is going to be what the price is (except for S/H costs & PayPal foolishness, of course!)
Thanks again.
Please - if you would - give us some idea of who wants what, OK!?
Regards,

Spot is up $0.07 to $12.00 as of 8:08 ET.
$12.00 + $3.99 = $15.99 each x 500 = $7,995 per box = $319.80 per tube
Also eBay is averaging $345 shipped and that includes Paypal.
Just trying the help.
Loves me some shiny!
“Often wrong, but never in doubt.”
I've never used that tulving before, but he's right. That IS a better deal. It's even a $125 cheaper if you go with a sealed box from some other year......maybe THAT is the way to go.
<< <i>Hmmmm.

I use to buy Eagles by the box every year from tulving. Never a problem. I don`t buy anymore because silver is higher now and can`t buy the box by myself.

I knew it would happen.

<< <i>Should we rename it a ....Boom Box?
That's good. Let's "put together a boom box"
So far I am counting two people in for 1 roll each assuming we get the box for close to 8K.
I'm in for 2-5 and I'm not sure how many boom is in for.
See where silver is in the Morning and what the going rate is
at all the Merchants mentioned above (Tulving, APMEX etc).
Whoever gives us the best price (including S/H) let's make a move.
THIS looks real good as does the post under it
*******************************************
Tulving is selling them for $3.99 each over spot.
Spot is up $0.07 to $12.00 as of 8:08 ET.
$12.00 + $3.99 = $15.99 each x 500 = $7,995 per box = $319.80 per tube

Watch real closely before the end ot the week rally (Friday afternoon).
Let's roll people. Remember that 08 saw Highs of Epic proportion for
both Silver and Gold. Don't come round crying later that you missed out
next time silver goes through the roof because it WILL - just a matter of Time.
Do some haggling with these people, PutTogether.
I WILL TOO. Stay in touch.
The rest of you - you're gonna get it AT COST plus S/H - OK?
If you can't afford $350 - you're in the wrong Hobby!
BTW: I have bought over $5k worth of stuff from these guys and have no problems with them.
Bullion
LMK.
Guys, I'm getting tired of waiting. Slipgate, if you want a part of the box as partners with me - you certainly can AS CAN ANYONE ELSE THAT WILL COMMIT. If & when people give me a definite answer I will buy the thing outright, in public view where you ALL can see EXACTLY what I pay!
I am NOT one to fiddle _uck around. When I'm ready to pull the trigger I WILL without hesitation!
Shop all you care to but if I STOP everything else I'm doing to grab this bull by the horns, rest assured you ALL will see the deal as it is. This is NOT about making any Profit. All I ask is for commitment and sticking to your word. You'll get the coins at cost PLUS PP Fees & actual S/H and I definitely DO NOT have a problem posting the actual Invoice - provided I AM sent one! THE ONLY ALTERNATIV is a US Postal Money Order that the Post Office will cash. I HAVE MY REASONS FOR THIS!
Everything will be out in the open and on the up & up.
I am COUNTING on those who have given the definite go ahead. YOU ARE PRIVY TO FULL DISCLOSURE! The rest that are fottin' around just may miss out. I REFUSE to squabble over a few measley dollars.
Tomorrow - FRIDAY MORNING I am going to work the entire Morning on this. Whoever is with me - please declare!
Thank you,
Best to all,

Boom is definitely not just a talker. And boom, after you've gotten them and dispersed them, let me know if you are stuck with a bunch from people backing out on you or whatever and I'll buy some more. I don't want you to get stuck for being the one taking the initiative.
If I go with Boom for a large order from golddealer, since shipping is free to ONE of us, how much would shipping be from one to the other? Of course we would split the total shipping between all interested members. Any interest in the DC metro area to avoid additional shipping? Shipping is most likely less than the cost of one coin, but still.
Boom we are on for something, just need to figure it all out. How many rolls do you want? If it is 6 or more, you are probably better off just getting the golddealer deal.
BTW: I have a call into golddealer to see if any additional can be taken off for a larger purchase and availability.
currently: 100 ASEs = $1614.00 shipped
<< <i>I am a little torn. I want to go with the golddealer deal due to the free shipping, and you only have to buy $2000 worth (125 coins - ~6 rolls). I have enough interest locally to move all 6 rolls, so really I might need more than that. They also specify "Lots of 100". So does that mean a minimum of 2 100 coin lots to get over the $2k minimum for free shipping? Arrghh! What to do?

That's funny, I called them too! I was just PMing boom about it. They told me that the "lots of 100" are NOT current year, and could be tubes of all the same past years, or even mixed. Mind you this doesn't particularly matter to me - but some people seem to really care about stuff like that so I figured it was worth mentioning.
As far as shipping you could fit an entire monster box in one of those 11 dollar flat rate boxes. Add 2 bucks for signature confirmation and you are golden.
