<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7599311, member: 105098&quot;]the mint says they will start shipping in early october on the item listings. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Approved Bulk Purchasers may or may not get them early if they collect their orders, I&#039;m not clear on what they are entitled to exactly for their 5% markup they are paying over the list price, but they are entitled to collect their orders from Tennessee Distribution rather than wait on mint shipping. </p><p>Matt Holben, the Mint’s director of sales and marketing, says that dealers under ABPP will not receive early delivery of the dollars, They will also have to pay a 5% premium above each coin’s retail price and freight/shipping costs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>so they pay 5% to get easier access to 17,500 pieces (10% of the product) instead of buying them in 10s like everyone else? I&#039;m not certain that&#039;s ALL of the benefit of the deal here.&nbsp; the mint doesn&#039;t share the info how many dealers are on this list, but safe to assume, it&#039;s less than 1750, and more than 17 taking up 1030 pieces each dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not into conspiracies really, I&#039;m not, but there&#039;s some secrecy here and they ain&#039;t talking, even to give a number of how many there are and not naming names. the description of the ABPP is &quot;This new program is structured to better meet marketplace product availability on the initial on sale date by expanding the distribution of Mint products. No more than 10% of products with limited quantities will be distributed under this program.&quot; sure seems like they want to make the items available for collection asap after the release date to the dealers that will pick them up from the distribution hub to me....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
