    Nobody wants these, no bids, no sales unless you count the reverse proof that sold for $417 on bids.

    1,000 plus listings by newbie flipper wannabes. They returns and cancellations will be guaranteed

    Thanks, found them. I don’t flip but seems silly to spend $715 plus break even fees at 13 percent for like $90 bucks profit pretax

    Does anyone know a site which shows actual sale prices for items with buyitnow or offer? eBay reports the sold price as the buyitnow price, which is misleading.

    The more I look the more confusing things get. Example: The 2 coin Gold cost $1500 to buy. Newbie seller with no store flips it for $1700 free shipping. With EBay and PayPal fees it’s a loss. Am I missing something or did seller say miss quite a few math classes?

    Who cares about the flippers? Everybody's so worried about being greedy instead of just collecting the coins. A lot of collectors don't even know about them yet. $715 will be melt value in a few years.

    I’m not worried at all, just bored at work. A 1/4 melt isn’t $715?

    Ok Dokey, got the answer. EBay promotional offer -Zero- seller fees.

    It's not now but give it a couple years and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Hate to say it but since March 24th of this year the US Debt clock has added 4 TRILLion dollars as of today and the year's not out yet. That's over an 8 month period and we didn't even see the second stimulus package released that everyone wants!

    I don't know when that becomes an 'alarming' rate of money creation but it took from George Washington to Ronald Regan for us to get to the first $1 trillion of debt. That's a lot of wars. Under the Bush admins 500 billion was shocking, for the year! Then Obama ran a trillion dollar deficit for one year and that was shocking.

    Granted I bought it because I wanted it to collect, liked the design and low mintage. I'm just explaining why the intrinsic values should cause you to not break a sweat. Look back and laugh in 5 years at this rate.

    Just looked at the gold reverse proofs on ebay. As of now, 5 hrs after they sold out, 380 of the 5k or 7.5% of mintage offered are listed on ebay right now. 25 have sold for around $1k or less so this wasn't a big flip opportunity for people. Too many people looking to flip driving price down. Mine's not for sale.

    And flips will be worse for some. I was asking a newbie flipper what he was doing as without a store, buying at $715 then selling at $800 free shipping with 13 percent total fees is a Loss.
    He’d said Ebay waived the fee with a promotion, but he couldn’t find it. Welp, I thought hmmm, that was nice of EBay, maybe some sort of newbie seller promo.
    He wrote me back hours later, said he’d found it: List 200 items for free.....smh

    Ouch. Free listings are very different than no fees. That said I do think this one will pick up a little momentum especially when seller listings like that get weeded out pretty quick.

    I just learned about this trick:

    Go to the original listing >> right click >> select 'view page source' >> press ctrl+f >> search for 'taxexc'.

    You will be able to see the sale price not including taxes.

    I had mild interest in the gold set, the price seemed high. I had a dentist appointment which made it had for me to participate in the feeding frenzy.

    I checked this morning and saw that the gold coins were sold out. Collectors, who were not able to be on-line at 9AM were out of luck. Now it’s flipper time.

    I am really glad I’m mostly done with U.S. coins. Between CAC and the games the mint plays, the fun is considerably reduced.
