<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1482478, member: 18821&quot;]Why?&nbsp; you can ask for whatever you want when you create an auction.&nbsp; &nbsp; Doesn&#039;t mean an astute buyer will pay for it.&nbsp; What&#039;s more meaningful is completed auction and items that complete AFTER the mint ships.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You see the same stuff happening with every mint offering.&nbsp; &nbsp; For the 2009 UHRs, there was people preselling and&nbsp; selling at $100 above the mint price, even though ebay fees was going to take most of that profit.&nbsp; It&#039;s only after the initial chaos, that the real price settles out.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I must admit, it is amusing to see some &#039;purist&#039; collectors on their high horses saying they only buy to collect and not to flip, and how they were so turned off by the 25th anniversary release that they refuse to buy that series or any other.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it seems like a true collector should be purchasing the highest quality at any price, including the 1995-w, not crying because he/she couldn&#039;t get the item at the mint price, which is the floor price.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say I&#039;m a purist, but ****, if I can find a 1995-w at a decent price, maybe $2k, **** I&#039;d buy it to keep in a heart beat.&nbsp; Not sure what level of collector I am, but I am an opportunist at the least</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; f you can get others to pay a premium to get what you were smart/lucky enough to buy in the first place, why not?&nbsp; This is America, and not some country where 1 set would be issued to every household that gave up X amount of food rations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
