Message:: [QUOTE="Speedie, post: 1138411, member: 28064"]The ATB 5oz coins are just not fetching the kind of money that they were in January. You have your set listed at $2,500 but there are BIN listings on Ebay as low as $1,300 and also the opportunity to buy from at least two APs for less than $1,000 shipped.  If you take those out of the equation I would say that your prices are very fair (160oz for $5,940 = $37.13/oz) but with them included, even your discounted "take the lot" price comes out to $43.24/oz or $4/oz over spot. My personal feeling is that the ATB coins are hitting about the lowest that they will go due to a current glut as APs try to sell their allocations before the 2011 coins are made available. The Mint is insisting that they do so in order to be permitted to order the 2011 coins at all. Once all of the APs are sold out, I would expect to see prices rise a little as the flippers run out of inventory and stronger hands take over. Back to the original question: maybe offer a "take the lot" price for the remainder of the bullion items and price the ATBs seperately with a more attractive price? The ATBs are awkward as they carry a numismatic/rarity premium that is currently difficult to quantify, whereas the other bullion that you're offering doesn't. I think splitting the sale up in this way would let you find a buyer for the majority of your stash fairly easily and give you options with the ATB set.[/QUOTE]
