[QUOTE="Buffalo Stacker, post: 1195589, member: 20755"]My name is Buffalo Stacker, and I am a Buffalo addict. I started in the fall of 2008 with the gateway 2008-W $5 proof. My pusher, a high placed member of a very large major urban gold and silver company, sold it to me for $105.00, which was $5 less than the Mint price at the time. After my first buy, I was hooked. I spent every penney I had on 2008-W Buffaloes, even though coin dealers told me they would never be worth anything. I almost died when the Mint ran out of 24K plashettes and stopped production prematurely. But when they lowered the price 10% to get rid of them, I bought so many I didn't even have time to open the boxes, I just threw them unopened into a dresser drawer. Unopened proof sets like the ones I paid $2000 for were last listed on Ebay at "buy now" prices of around $20,000.00 Moral of the story: Buy coins you fall in love with and pray that the Mint runs out of pleshetes[/QUOTE]
