[QUOTE="vipergts2, post: 270199, member: 3881"]Well I missed another good deal last week. I went to a coin auction last thursday and didn't have enough time to do proper research. One item up for bids was a 1955 proof set in the box not the flatpack, and It was unopened. I did a quick price guide check and found that boxes went cheaper than flatpacks (wrong?). I did a quick ebay check and saw some flatpacks that had sold in the $120 range. I figured if I could pick it up for $100 I would get a good deal. The set sold for $140 and I thought the guy paid to much, but oh well. I had been watching an aucion on ebay with a 55 box set that was to be completed monday night I believe. Well I checked my-ebay tuesday morning and to my horror the set sold for $249.00. Dang!!:goof: It kind of reminds me of the ASE anniversary set I did not get. Lesson learned....study,study,study. On a side note, I did end up with some worn out morgans for about 2 cents under bullion value!:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
