<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1547576, member: 13650"]So you're saying the only people buying on ebay are flippers? Lets be clear, I didn't do this to flip the set. I'm not looking to flip anything for a profit. I wanted to break even or at least not take too bad of a hit, selling to another collector. I don't believe everybody on ebay is just looking to buy something to flip. </p><p> I don't care if I did pay retail for every single Franklin half, it is totally unreasonable to expect 50 cents on the dollar in order to sell the set. Would you sell a mint state set and be left with melt value in cash and say "Oh well, that's the market." No way. </p><p><br /></p><p> Somebody actually thought 15.80 a coin was fair, and oh yeah, take fees and shipping out of that too. Not realistic. Melt value is 12.40! 7 of them were more than $50. A few were 60-80. I could break the set up and do much better I'm sure. Not interested in doing that at this time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
