I only ordered the 3 that I wanted. I hope that others share my good fortune. Credit card already charged, too, which means that they won't get back ordered.
I also placed an order, and added a few extras to help those that were unable to get one for their collection. Thanks to @Heater, and Coin Talk for the heads up.
If you sell those extra sets to people who got shut out at issue + shipping, I will nominate you for person of the year
"person if the year". That is a new award. Have not seen that one before. Is that an award.....IF the year happens? LOL
I always do that. I have some friends and relatives that don't use a computer or have jobs that prohibit cell phone use. I try to help them out whenever possible.
Just found out about them being back available and was able to get the 2 sets I wanted. Maybe the person with the 1000 sets for sale on ebay cancelled their order? LOL!
I'm glad to see that everyone is able to get a set! I wonder if the fact that they didn't get entirely bought out by big dealers will affect the value? Regardless, my set's in the mail so I'm happy. And as a side note, I just realized that the mintage of 225,000 was chosen since it's the 225th anniversary of the Mint. I'm surprised I didn't make the connection sooner.
Still up but you can only order 100 at a time I just wanted to see how many I could order I'm not ordering any more 2 is enough for me, and I'll send one of the cents off to PCGS for my set.
wow, I'm in the process of cancelling my eBay order which has not been shipped yet. The seller wants me to compensate him/her for cancelling my order as ... copied text .. "As I stated in my previous message you would put me out some money by decided to not honor your purchase. I'd feel a lot better cancelling if you offered some compensation" from "I sold it under a no final value fees promotion as well as paying an extra fee for a 1-day auction so it would be nice if you went through and honored your bid. I would have been happy to sell it to the person who bid just below you but you decided to bid and won the auction."
They have a point. You bid and that constitutes a contract to buy. You should honor your end of the deal. That said, their request for compensation is unethical and IIRC a violation of eBay rules.
Yes, I understand that. Thus I was asking the seller if I could cancel. I just didn't outright cancel by clicking the cancel button. Plus they have accepted Return policy. Thus I could receive, then return .. but why bother wasting $10 ?? But seller asking for compensation. They also have it marked Shipped when it has not been shipped. That stuff irks me. and I just recalled .. it was a BIN sale. NO auction. no buyer below me.
They have to pay a fees upon sale and receipt of payment. Do sellers get these fees returned upon a cancellation or return?
I've always had my fees refunded upon cancellation/returns. But I'm not a big seller but I have had large ticket items go that way .. $1800 +/- range. But no coins; I don't know if coins have different rules.
He is right. No matter what people will complain. Some complain when things are very limited and sell out quickly but at least those items get people excited. Others like myself complain when things are mint to demand and linger forever as that essentially assures they will be lose a lot of value on the after market so you might as well just wait for it too. It's better for them to have limited quick sell outs, at least people are excited then instead with how many people lose interest on the huge mintages or mint to demand. Not entirely true. They're made for the mint to sell. It doesn't matter to them who they sell it to. Everyone's money is the same to them. In reality it is actually cheaper for them to ship a few large orders to people who they know they really won't have to deal with returns for than ship 100k individual orders where collectors will probably return a decent amount Household limits have proven time and again not to slow down the big boys. The big boys get the share they want no matter what the limit every time. Low household limits just make for a more expensive after market product from them as they put out standing purchase orders before the set is even on sale, have employees buy, get people to stand in line for them ect ect. No matter what they get what they want though and the more it costs them and the more effort they have to put into it the more they charge people for it
