<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7609665, member: 66&quot;]The flipper can ASK any price he wants.&nbsp; An asked price doesn&#039;t mean anything unless someone agrees to it.&nbsp; If no one does, the ask price will come down.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is, and you can buy gasoline for about $2.12 a gallon.&nbsp; It will be deliverable in September and you have to buy it in 42,000 gallon lots.&nbsp; It&#039;s called a futures contract.&nbsp; That&#039;s why there are middlemen.&nbsp; Where is the average consumer going to put 42,000 gallons of gasoline?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not so sure about just covering their costs on these, and the Unc Commemorative dollars would be a better comparison.&nbsp; Same condition, similar mintage limit, same size and composition.&nbsp; The Morgans were $85, the commemorative dollar is $74 and that includes a $10 surchage that the Morgan doesn&#039;t have.&nbsp; Without that surcharge the commemorative would be $64.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure but I thought the charge was now spot +$2.50 </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And I am sure there were a lot of dealers who had dozens of people also trying to get through and buy them as well who were also having the same problem as you.&nbsp; In the end some were successful and some failed.&nbsp; Every time a hot item come up for sale the same thing happens because the website can&#039;t handle the load, and itwon&#039;t change because it doesn&#039;t make economic sense to spend the big money to upgrade the site so it could handle it and then have all that expensive capacity sit idle 99%+ of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if they DID upgrade the system people would STILL be unhappy because if it could handled everyone who called in on their first call it probably would have sold out in under 30 seconds.&nbsp; On sale at 12:00:00 and you get there at 12:00:30 only to find they are sold out.&nbsp; They handled everyone with no crashing.&nbsp; Do you feel good now?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
