<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2198583, member: 36230"]Why assume the average poster would pay anything or be remotely interested in such a set? People here, right or wrong, are simply trying to help you, so instead of seemingly dismissing their advice and counting that profit before you've made it, perhaps you should listen and consider.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll be totally honest with you, Sully... you're not sitting on a potential windfall, but a painfully common dog. I've given sets, just like the one you described, originally purchased to acquire a select coin or two, away as freebies just to get rid of them, and hopefully into the hands of someone who may enjoy them. The reason is that theyre more trouble than they're worth; most wanting such a set would rather put it together themselves, or theyre looking for the coins you're missing, so the demand is almost nonexistent. Additionally, nine plus times out of ten when someone wishes to sell their set, a quick scan shows they're missing most of the very same coins you are, and for good reason - they (the obvious) are the ones people want and actually sell individually. When presented with such a set, the decision to make an offer or decline was made on the presense or lack of a few select coins. If there, the offer price was based almost entirely on the desirable dates and not the rest of the set itself. My point with this is that should you decide to peruse this, you're almost certainly in for a big disappointment, and likely a loss of money as well. I do respect your desire to make money off of coins, and trust me, I can relate, but the sooner you understand that A + B does not always equal C, and that some of us offering advice just might know what we're talking about, the better off you may be. Dump the set for whatever you can get, and invest your time, money, and energy elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
