Who's paying the most?

RedHerring · October 28, 2011 4:08AM

The $425 offer from APMEX is the highest buy offer I've seen.

How much are you offering?

TwoSides2aCoin · October 28, 2011 4:16AM

I've paid as much as forty percent over face value for some coins.

BlueMoon offered $40 over per set, funny.

$525 offered on BST now. Finally a good offer but still going way up when thses sets arrive in hand in my opinion.

khayse · October 28, 2011 4:18AM

I offer....1 million dollars!

j/k.

Me? LOL, not me!

From a quick glance on the BST's looks like Orville stepped it up a level.

Ebay is paying the most by far. Get your money before you ship and get top dollar with ebay. Ebay and paypal suck in terms of the way they treat their users, but like most will testify here it always produces top dollar. I would never send more than $500 worth of coins through the mail to any company without prior payment unless I was buddy buddy with them or have a close prior working relationship. One guy was btchn the other day how he sent $25,000 worth the bullion to a place in maryland and never received payment. Everyone, has their own threshold for risk, so they should think for themselves, but my experience has always been top dollar on ebay.

Since everyone has to wait until they are in-hand to sell on ebay, I think that will be the real gauge...and I honestly think they will be at more than $525 a set (even though that's a great price for a fast turnaround!)

What you mean everybody? There are over 200 listings up on ebay right now.

OK, well 200 people got through, but ebay is canceling all pre-sales.
Which I think is a good thing. I'd rather have them in hand before I sell anyway.

Well, saying 'all' is a bit abitious, unless you are just trying to feed that thought.

OK, theoretically. Their policy for these specific sets states that you need to have a picture of the actual box/coin with your username in the picture.
So theoretically, no presales are allowed on ebay. Of course there are ways around it, there are ways around everything (theoretically

oreville · October 28, 2011 5:12AM

in my view, I got my order filled with what I needed for me and my friends TOO QUICKLY!

Sure I offered the highest price in the USA for a moment today.

too many people in my view bought just to flip.

I am concerned that expectations may just be too high on this set?

or is the fact that so many are willing to flip so quickly means that they think the price has already gone up more than they expected?

I am paying strong:

Strong offer for 25th anniversary sets.

wondercoin · October 28, 2011 5:29AM

Oreville

He is in China with no access to any information and is making up his own market prices.

Wondercoin

P.S. Although Oreville is a smart cookie!

I think this set has a few hundred to go if you are willing to slowly retail them either in a storefront or ebay. Think about it, the 2006 set with a mintage of 250000 is $300 wholesale $350+ retail and has 3 coins. The RP has the 250K mintage, '06W unc 470K, and the proof over a million. The 25th anniversary set has two key coins that have a mintage of only 100K: the reverse proof and "S" mint. You ger the added bonus of three additional coins. This is probably a $750+ set before it peaks.

I was able to get some from the mint but just bought ten sets at a much higher price off the BST as well. Probably not done buying yet either.

CCC2010 · October 28, 2011 5:38AM

Oreville's offer is the strongest so far i have seen in the BST. He was paying $525 + Shipping per Set. His order is filled.

Oreville!!!

Tee.. hehe.. he.. he . I can almost hear the giggling behind the keyboard bochi.... so CUTE! And a higher post count again.. SO COOL! wow...

I think ebay is doing the right thing and comma has made an excellent observation and comment! Time will tell

Highest offer so far appears to be $525 on the BST.

How many sets was he looking for?

PerryHall · October 28, 2011 5:46AM

Do you think that we'll get them before the Baltimore show next month? I wouldn't mind selling a few and using the money to buy a few coins with numismatic significance.

agentjim007 · October 28, 2011 5:59AM

Dealer just told me dealer to dealer trade on CCE 50 sets @ $550

MilesWaits · October 28, 2011 6:01AM

<< Dealer just told me dealer to dealer trade on CCE 50 sets @ $550 >>

And the beauty of that is NONE have been shipped yet!

Gotta love hysteria even if it only happens every 2-4 years.

epcjimi1 · October 28, 2011 6:40AM

Single sets on feebay a couple of weeks before Xmas could be a good time to flip.

ctf_error_coins · October 28, 2011 6:48AM

It needs to get a little over 6 so I can get an awesome new fishing kayak for free

pf70collector · October 28, 2011 6:51AM

I predict $5k for a sealed box of 5. Not now, but next year.

coasterfan · October 29, 2011 6:35AM

Judging by prices now, looks like Oreville got a good deal!

MilesWaits · October 29, 2011 6:44AM

Oreville stuck his neck out early! Good for him.

I appreciate the buyers that posted buy prices and rolled the dice along with those that commited to selling.

This has been a roller coster ride that has alot of track and time left for all!

CCC2010 · October 29, 2011 6:50AM

This guy just did for a 5 coin set that ended in Ebay a few hours ago... Ebay Link also in another forum thread

comma · October 29, 2011 6:53AM

<< I predict $5k for a sealed box of 5. Not now, but next year. >>

I predict that within one month of having them in hand

OPA · October 29, 2011 7:01AM

About 250 eBay auctions running at this time and the average completed auction is close to $600 per set & rising. Any wild guess what a 70 PCGS graded set might possible go for?

Highly unlikely for a complete PCGS 70 graded with the 'First Strike 25th Anniversary Set' label due to the bullion coin. My guess would be $20,000+.

comma · October 29, 2011 7:07AM

I wouldn't really pay any attention to ebay until people have sets in hand

derryb · October 29, 2011 7:31AM

What we need is a fire at the warehouse to really get things going.

RYK · October 29, 2011 7:34AM

No, we need a "John Nanney"--

pitboss · October 29, 2011 7:35AM

That would liven things up wouldn't it.

So who will First Strike it rich? Wouldn't bother me if PCGS didn't give an 70s like they didn't a number of years ago. If all the coins in a $20K set milk spotted, how big of a check do you think PCGS would write?

joefro · October 29, 2011 8:30AM

This set is already at almost $1,300 with over an hour to go! It doesn't even say it will be in the sealed mint packaging!
