<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LibertyBell, post: 172347, member: 6142&quot;]Not to stray too far off the subject, but I was in the retail business at one time, and a 40% markup is the norm; not 100%. Personally, I think the mint prices their products far too high. Their customer service stinks. If they send you something that&#039;s damaged, they will replace it <b>if they have supplies left</b>. Therefore, if you receive a damaged item that is in high demand, you have to decide whether to keep it or gamble on being able to get a replacement.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They change the rules of the game as they go--- witness the 2005 proof set and the bait and switch with this year&#039;s eagles. On a very legalistic level, there may be nothing wrong with their antics, but on a moral level, and a customer relations level, what they did was nothing short of rotten.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>An uncirculated set contains $3.62 face value. The coins cost a fraction of that to produce and packaging and labor for the set costs $1.00 (I&#039;m being generous here). They charge <b>HOW MUCH</b> for a mint set?? And you really think the price is reasonable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
