Thread: worth it?

So i looked up a coin on ebay that is in the Open forum for sale. Seems like a pretty decent deal. Just tying to get others opinions before i potentially buy it.

Thanks

Think it is to much but what do I know. I would not pay what they are asking. Wait for some others to offer their opinions before you buy.

maybe i'll shoot him an email on ebay. I looke dat the other listings that ended for this item and they are all in the 3400's so i doubt he will go too much lower. Thanks though

Hey wait a little bit, someone else will be along, I promise.

Find out what the US mint sold it for, just go to google and start entering info you will find what you need. Gold prices are fairly high on ebay, wait for a coin show in your area. Besides, why do you need to buy the whole set? I mean if you want it then that's up to you. Is it worth it? In a word, no!

sold for around $1200 in 2000. That was when gold was at $500 and ounce. Now it is clearing almost $1300. I want them because the fact that they are proofs. Thanky ou for you opinion. Also went to a coin shop and they had the same set for $3600. He had tons of gold and wasn't going to go any lower :'(

The seller want almost $3500 for gold worth $2300.

I don't collect gold, but I wouldn't buy this.

IMHO, I think people selling gold are taking advantage of a fickle market. Gold is down to $1174.00 an ounce as of 2 seconds ago.

Well your question was is it worth it. MY answer is No! Maybe to you it is, when I want a proof I look at the cheapest possible way to quench my desire. good luck to you

lol Thats a good saying. I might use that one

I dont really understand what is going on. This is the third thread you have started about this proof set. The first one was in the open forum for sale buy you for $3500. The second on was for the set on ebay listed at a buy it now for $3500 asking if it was a good deal and now this one asking is it a good deal.
So, are you trying to sell this set or are you looking to buy it. I am just confused since all your post since you joined have been about this set. Thanks for the info

Hey try check click google? GOOD LUCK

Yeah, this is one strange post posted in conjunction with at least two other strange posts. The one that was posted in the OPEN forum was actually a question. Was the OP seriously in the market for this set? We may never know!

Yeah, I dont know if he is trying to sell one or if he is honestly in the market for one. Another of the worlds great mysteries.

He is trying to sell his set. His original posting in the open said he took it to a dealer that offered him $3200 and he was firm at $3500. He then started a couple threads to generate some interest. I don't blame him for trying to get some attention to get his set sold, but could have done it a bit more professionally?

Now I wonder if he sold it and how much he took under the $3500.

Let me get this right. The OP was trying to sell his set of gold coins so then he was acting like he was interested in buying the same kind of set? The only post I came across (in the OPEN forum) was the one I posted above. First time I ever heard of that selling technique being used on this forum.
