One More! I started at 12:05 yesterday and finally got through at 1:45. Order number 33217xxxx. Booner
3315XXXX thru 3319XXXX Possibly 40k sold already. It will easily end today, imo! Ridiculous prices on eBay!!! and people are paying it!?!?!?
No more fractional baby buffalo I too will be sitting at the computer waiting to get that 09 buffalo though... gotta expand the herd.
I hear ya Daggerjon, got my eye on a couple of 2 centers but then I'm done for 2009. Something to do with the red ink on my coin budget ledger. My accountant is getting on my case.
They set the rules and you think it is a "trick" for them to cancel all the orders when someone tries to cheat and get around the rules? Seems fair to me. You don't abide by the rules, you pay the penalties.
One more here. Just ordered it and my order number was 33224xxx. That is about 66,000 by the order number (which aren't completely accurate). I hope they are keeping track and will shut it down at 50k instead of getting our hopes up and then canceling everything over 50k.

I got 4 sets yesturday so you can add me to the list all 4 different billing addresses so we'll be waiting to get them I plan on dropping 2 sets on E-bay if I can get a $250 - $300 each if not then I'll wait til they hit that number or higher I really need a new laptop for my College stuff, working on becoming a CPA
I put in an order when I saw all the hoopla going on in here. My number is 33226xxx. I put this through this afternoon. Maybe they are letting people order even though the number is over 50000. This doesn't mean if my order was over 50000 I will get it. My guess is that the system may not shut off at 50K and those over the limit get a nice letter telling them "thanks for playing the game".
Well, I have two ordered and they both appear to be in the good zone (3318xxxx and 3319xxxx). I don't understand why someone would pay $200 for them on ebay when they are still open for sale on the US mint website.
Finally. Waiting list notice on this set. http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=15955&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10111
Got through for one set by phone about 1:30 pm thursday order#3317XXX I have a question. Does anyone know if I could use a prepaid visa in my wife's name and a ship to address of my work to order more than one item the next time? I dont ever want to sell mine but it would have been nice to have an extra in case these prices really do go through the roof! Craig
