<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1302194, member: 13650"]The thing is, nobody is forcing anybody to buy these. You aren't selling bottled water for 100x cost in the middle of a desert to crowds on the verge of death! These are a luxury item that nobody needs. If buyers want to fight each other over these, let them. </p><p><br /></p><p> If you wouldn't have gotten your sets, they probably would have went to one of the tv sellers and been sold for more. I don't think you should feel guilty over it. The mint has the proverbial blood on their hands. They didn't make enough of them for the demand!</p><p><br /></p><p> If I didn't get in, I wouldn't expect anybody to give me a special price near cost to get one. The situation has taken on a life of it's own now.</p><p><br /></p><p> To be honest, I hate to admit it but it's really tempting to sell the whole 5 sets sealed. They're going for such crazy prices to people hoping to get them graded as 70s. If you want to know what's really bad, a single set of 70s is going for over 3 grand tonight!! If people can pay that, let them pay it. We don't know what drives people to do what they do. All I know is I could get a brand new gun safe delivered for free if I wanted to sell the whole sealed box. Or, be content with selling a couple and keeping 3 sets of ASEs for a couple hundred. </p><p><br /></p><p> This whole thing is a double edged sword. I feel fortunate to be in the position but on the other hand, it'd kind of be nice if it didn't have to be such a big deal. If you could just open the box and enjoy them as intended. It's hard not to think about the $800 going out the window as the box cutter slices through the tape. That's on the agenda for me tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
