[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2287692, member: 112"]Brandon - While I understand the question you are asking, the answer to your question is really immaterial. And the reason I say that is because it doesn't matter what any price guide says the the coins are worth, what matters for your purposes is how much [U]you yourself have to pay[/U] for the coins you intend to use in these starter sets you plan to sell. And, how much all of your other costs are going to be. No matter what you will have to charge a given percentage more than you pay. Otherwise your venture is doomed to failure before you even begin. So what you really have to figure out is - 1 - where do I buy these coins ? 2 - how much will they cost me ? 3 - how much is shipping ? 4 - what else am I going to include in my starter sets, where do I buy that, and what are the total cost for that ? 5 - how much is shipping the sets going to cost me ? 6 - how am I going to advertise this and what will that cost me ? 7 - how much is time for doing all of this worth ? Now once you figure all of that out, then you will already know the minimum price you have to ask for your starter sets. And you will also know if your idea is even viable.[/QUOTE]
