Message:: [QUOTE="Sholom, post: 600164, member: 17753"]OK . . . so, the Mint sucks because they sold out of LP1's so fast, and not everybody got a chance to get them.  Now they suck because they learned their lesson and made more LP2's? Yes, I know it's a flippers nightmare.  (I'm a flipper myself -- for the exact same reason you are: I take my profits so I can purchase the coins that I really want).  But so is flipping houses, stock market shares, and anything else. Speculators like us have to live with the uncertainties that the field brings.  That's why the root of the word is "speculate."  If it would be a 100% sure thing -- the big guys would be writing software to purchase all the sets before you and I could even order (like they do with concern tickets -- in order to flip them). I hear your frustration . . . . I saw the Log Cabin/First day cancellation rolls going for $30 and $40 a pop for months.  So I spent considerable energy trying to aquire the "Formative Years" and get them stamped to flip.  The last three I sold averaged about $5 a roll for sale. That's life.  Making money by speculating only works some of the time.[/QUOTE]
