Message:: [QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1618455, member: 41665"]Tinpot-I'm honestly not sure where to begin or how to explain this to you.The US Mint knows how many units they can sell. The Mint doesn't vastly overproduce ASEs because that would be ruinous. The Mint KNOWS it cannot sell 33 mln (let alone 50 mln: sheesh!) and the momentary "supply shortage" is a harbinger of 2013: much lower sales #s. Frankly, the Mint's story sounds more like the hype that drove Beanie Babies into la-la land. I'm curious why they're playing that game now. Hmmmm.... ?! Yep. Check how Ty's Royal Blue Peanut Beanie Baby WAS $4,400. (June 2000), now it's $580. (January 2013) ... very few bids/buyers, too.<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FAuthenticated-Rare-Ty-Beanie-Baby-Royal-Blue-Peanut-%2F110964420211" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FAuthenticated-Rare-Ty-Beanie-Baby-Royal-Blue-Peanut-%2F110964420211" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authenticated-Rare-Ty-Beanie-Baby-Royal-Blue-Peanut-/110964420211</a>[/QUOTE]
