1500+ thread Whinning about the high price from the authorized sellers for the hockey pucks. The same whiners have no problem asking the price they whined about times 2. The greed is overwhelming. I wish the mint had charged $1500 a set. Merry Christmas.

are salivating over oversized, multi-ounce replicas of CURRENTLY CIRCULATING CLAD QUARTERS.
these are clearly not "just bullion" at the premiums these are going to trade for, at first... time will tell what values do when the next craze hits.

Not all that called the mint about the high prices turned into flippers, most did it because the AP's were giving us the shaft, but i do agree with the whining of a Few. Even after they cut the price these people were crying because they missed selling there sets for 2700 and now could only make 700 or more . To me there is no hurry unless you were planning on flipping. These will be easy to pick up a set at one of the other 9 ap's .............. merry christmas

You call it whining. I call it not being ripped off. Furthermore, I don't have any sets yet, if ever.
I knew it would happen.
How do two of our own forum members manage to obtain 2 sets and to have them on ebay when the APs are telling me point-blank that they don't have them for sale yet?
One these same "fellow numismatists" was quite vocal in his denigration of those who wanted fairness in distribution, while in the meantime he is one of the scalpers who is busy jacking up the prices on ebay. How much more proof do YOU need that this is crap and needs to be stopped?
Your post is misleading, inaccurate and is beating the wrong horse.

<< <i>For the record, Jim - I note that (2) of our board members now have multiple sets on ebay, and at least one of them was complaining about the very people who had a problem with the original price gouging by Apmex.

Dont understand your question. Apmex had the sets for sale and they are an AP. Multiple sets for sale by members here can be obtained from people who bought from APMEX???-------BigE
<< <i>So, what did the APMEX buyers end of paying for the set after the mint spanked APMEX on pricing? >>
859.00
Apmex has told me every day for the past 3 days that they don't have the sets for sale. BigE, they are supposed to offer the sets to everyone, and that is not happening. What don't you understand?

To my knowledge the people that ordered at the ripoff price have received their set (one), minus any duplicate orders. Those folks also got a refund of the "over payment". My question is what happened to the sets from the multiple orders? Why aren't these selling? There had to be at least a few hundred out of the 3000 sets ordered.

I'd guess they were ordered by friends/relatives/contacts of those who have the multiple sets for sale. Works the same way here when the Mint imposes limits and dealers post on the BST wanting members to buy for them.
<< <i>I think most of the "whiners" were those who were unable to order the first thousand sets that APMEX sold because APMEX sent out a email to those who signed up for the coins long ago. Considering they sold out in 19 hours or so, those of us who bought had the chance to pass. So for the ones of us who bought at $1395.00, I would not classify as "whiners". I'm glad that a bunch of people did complain though as it ended up with us getting a $500+ rebate check
How many here would sell their set for $1395?
I can understand purchasing some simply to look at but paying goofy premiums for the first issue of something which only a select few will ever complete seems silly.

Will they fit in Coke machines?
Seriously, these are over the top and will only have one purpose in the short term: To make money for the flippers, which is capitalism and fine. The distribution just needs to be fair, as does the AP resale price. The "good ole' boy" network exists everywhere.
Who knows for the long term; bullion, a discus, melted if silver goes ballistic? This issue is just not attractive. If I am interested, I'll get the "uncirculated" version from the Mint.
They remind me of the bi-centennial over-sized replicas from the 1970's.
