I will buy 1 set. I bought 5 sets from 2011 and 3 sets from 2012. I need to follow the n-2 pattern. My guess is that they'll sell 235,236 sets.
Along with my own set, would it be wise to buy a set to flip? I've never done so but if I can flip one easily and make some cash i'm interested.
Won't know till the month long ordering period is over, and even then it will be a few more months to get the final number that figures in cancellations as well.
Will there value be as much as the. Last 2 pcs set cause they only had 1 day I think and they sold out quick
The last 2 piece set was 2012. Those, too, were minted to order and sold only during a 28 day window.
We keep ignoring you, don't we? :devil: Danr is bullish on the set and he feels it's a winner for the turn around. I, on the other hand, do not. My feeling is that the time frame that the set is offered for, along with the unlimited production factor, will make the set less valuable in the aftermarket. Look at what the San Fran set from last year is going for. I've seen prices for raw sets vary between $116 to $183 on e-bay. There is 'maybe' profit to be made but the return is not going to pay for the first set. Time will tell though. Oh, and I'm not a soothsayer but I have played one on network TV........
Why not put one up for presale on ebay and let us know how it does? You can just cancel your order from the Mint if it doesn't sell. In my opinion, the money will be in the graded sets and the earliest auctions (just like the 2012s). It's going to be kind of a slow flip if you wait to have them graded.
Whether they ship at the same time or ship separately, if it is on one order there is only one shipping charge.
I saw presales on ebay for $170. Subtract $17 for the ebay fee, $4 for shipping, and $5.23 for the Paypal fee and that leaves you with a profit of $3.82 for your trouble. Edit: I just checked and they were charging $5.00 for shipping on top of the $170. But still those are pretty tight margins and you might have to deal with a "the package was never delivered" type of customer.
If you have already ordered one set, wait to see what the production number is on the last day of sales. If it's low and worth the gamble, order another but sell your first order as soon as it arrives. You only have one set to flip but your exposure is very limited that way.
Flippers nightmare unless you get a bunch of 70s. Consider: Mint cost Ebay FV fee (10%) PP fee Grading fee (if you have them graded) SH (if you offer free shipping) JMO
