Ok maybe I was a bit gullible but I have bought from this guy. Actually one purchase was this set.
For me being in Australia, noodling for the set was out and if I paid a premium then I'm still happy with the sale.
What I can say is I had absolutely no problems with Roy regarding the sale. He was more than happy to help.
Cheers
Peter

Ok so I'm an idiot...  You should be able to hear the slap of palm on forehead soon.  Still you have to understand that the hard part for me at least is finding sellers who are willing to ship to Australia. Still I regret nothing  I'm still happy with the purchase. |

You should't feel bad Peter,
I could think of a lot worse things to do with $20

Peter, not at all gullible dude. Thats why sets like that have value. There are folks like you that cant easily put a set together on their own.

Really, your not gullible at all. Honestly, if I collected those coins I would have probobly bought the set the instant I saw it.

Its darn hard to find common US cents over in Australia. I got a couple wheats today but they are far and few between. For $20 shipped to Australia its not a bad deal at all.

IF you did this yourself, you could theoretically put this set together for next to nothing.
But for $15, it is by no means a terrible deal. Considering someone else took the time to do all the work for you, that is basically what you are paying for here.

Compared to our own 1 and 2 cent copper coin sets the US counterparts are dirt cheap and readily available in good grades. I have just bought these and am very happy with my purchases. http://www.ebay.com/itm/20078389037....m1497.l2649http://www.ebay.com/itm/16082982558....m1439.l2649Quote:

Its paying for convenience and because of location.
One way to view it is that Peter saved the cost of a flight to the states and back :P
There are more thaan one kind of coin collector anyway, for some they want to get maximum value for their $ and want to buy every individual piece for less than its worth. Some others want what they want and will pay whatever it costs to build their collection and mosst are inbetween...not minding to pay a small premium but expecting to take a small loss in the short term.

For a collector in Australia, I think it is a pretty good deal.
