I'm seeing completed listings at $130-$140 not close to $200, am I looking at the wrong place?

I remembered that the set was going on sale at about 10:45 pm on
10/16/2009.So what the heck,give ordering a set a shot.
I didn't have my mother,in-laws,father,sisters,or brothers order for
me.Buying more than one set or trying to buy more set remined me of
Bernie Madoff.
I was able to buy one set at that time.My set came in the mail on
11/2/2009.It won't be opened because I want to have the set graded by
PCGS.
I collect coins for the joy of coins.I hope that the people who
cheated to received more than set get their big bucks on e-bay.
I'm not going to put my set on e-bay however I'm willing to part
with it for $5000.00 Do you all think I'll have any takers in the coin
collecting world?

WOW !.... ........ummm.......well.....little ole me had my mother try for one and succeeded. And so, I now have "two" (of which I'm SO overjoyed to own !) But they aren't going up for sale on EBAY.....I've never sold a coin in my LIFE, and certainly not on EBAY. But those who "do" partake in trying to "profit" off of selling coin materials isn't "wrong" at all.....I don't do it.....but it isn't bad behavior to find ways to make extra money.
I get doubles and triples of Sets whenever I can for a couple of different reasons. The primary one is, that 30-40 years from now when I'm around my fathers age or older, and I have very little in savings......no 401K plan......no nest egg of any kind......health problems and health care that come with old age equals money......no social security left (or whatever IS there, doesn't help enough).....blowing the motor on my vehicle when I'm 76 years old and have no money, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc .etc etc etc. etc. etc etc etc etc etc etc..........were it to be like this for "me", that at THAT point in my life in the distant future, I MIGHT be able to supplement some bills/needs/cost at that time with some of these "doubles and triples" of "coin material" that I have.
Other ideas for having two or more of something is "gifting" them to my Nephew or my near future step-daughter, or selling a few "doubles or triples" of things to pay for a honeymoon/wedding........or an anniversary......you know......that kind of stuff.
So, one shouldn't breathe fire on folks who find ways to order more than "one per household" of a coin item, and call them Bernie Maddoff !.........Dude.....that ain't right my friend !

I believe this set is beautifully conceived and would never part with mine.

wow...play nice :)
Let's just agree that people have their own views on what others do and have done, but let's not let this be the forum to judge that. Let's keep this on enjoying the nice lincoln set!
