<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1309363, member: 27832&quot;]Ugh. I remember seeing a nearly-complete 32-64 set of Washingtons come up on eBay, BIN at about 20% over melt. It was missing the 32-D and S, but nearly every coin in it was AU or BU -- including several of the harder 1930&#039;s dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had been spending down a fairly hefty PayPal balance, left over from the days when I had sold a good bit on eBay and the PP money market had a significant yield. But I had reached the point where my balance was not <i>quite</i> high enough to cover this set, and when I tried to arrange another payment method, PP wanted me to jump through some obscure hoop.</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally got things set up properly, went back to the item -- and someone had gotten it with a Make An Offer, right at melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>There have been other painful misses, but that one really sticks in my mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there&#039;s also all the gold and silver that I didn&#039;t get when I was a beginning YN back in the early 70&#039;s. The fifty-cent-a-week allowance probably had more to do with that, though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
