<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 566723, member: 9474"]But there has to be some consistency. So you are saying that they should not charge the higher price because they have not shipped it out yet, but the same thing would have to apply if the price shot up and they hadn't shipped it out. They would have to charge me the higher price at the time of shipment. I would not be happy with that. </p><p> </p><p>Two comments:</p><p>1. I like the new way the mint is organizing their pricing. If you watch the market like I do and you want to play the guessing game, you can wait for the price to get as low as possible and buy then. Just like stock. You buy at that moment whatever the price is at that time. If the stock drops in value, you don't return the stock and ask for the difference? So the new system works for me. Unlike last year when I dropped a ton of money on the rev proof platinum set and it dropped like a ton of bricks. The new pricing schedule wasn't in place then so they shouldn't have lowered the price, but they did and it left us early buyers in a miff. But after pondering on this a bit, it is really no different than what could happen now under the current pricing plan. Its all a gamble and I gambled and lost. Who would have guessed that platinum would have sunk so fast? Maybe I should take gambling tips from Paul. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>2. Second Rant - I have noticed that the mint has removed the cancel order button sooner than it has before this new pricing and return policy. For example, I purchased the unc FS coin before the price drop this week because gold was actually climbing a few weeks ago and I was afraid the price would go up another $50... so I bought. That was during the first week of April. The coin hasn't even been shipped yet.... or processed for that matter, so when I went to cancel my order the other day when the price dropped, they had already removed that option. When I called them up and asked to cancel the order, their response was I couldn't because the order was already in process. So when I pressed them what does that mean? Am I going to get the coin soon? She couldn't give me an answer! She just repeated that the order was in process and she couldn't cancel it at this point in the process, but if I wanted to send it back as soon as I got it that I can do that! What the heck. It will probably be weeks before I even get the coin. Last year, this would not have been a problem>>>>> but then again, last year we wouldn't see any changes in pricing either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
