Flash Sale On Colonial Acres

Why?
Cool down...you know that it always like this with recent NCLT.
Almost nothing holds the value.

Remember that "Summer Kangaroo" rectangular coin?
Or 2013 Royal Baby set? - that's funny, how they could be purchased now, we've lost a lot.

But targeted waiting for the discounts is good?
IMO - not for all coins....for most of them - who cares, new coins coming

4 Superman coins,Big coin sub, 2 gold & silver Disney coins...that's it for me for a while !

whoops, thanks to ace_ftw.

This confirms what I been thinking and seeing,,, if its a commissioned coin, and the sell out is artificial at the mint, the coin can be had for less later.

I been passing on a lot of RCM product lately, I had my eyes even on the gold Bison Family at rest, and I said, "i'll look for this later for less."

I like many of these coins, I really do. Heck, I love these reverse proof maples with privy marks for coin such, like the ANA show, but I have passed because I darn well know I will find it for less 6 months from now...

and in addition, I think that in most cases - better not to return to the non-recent items, cause the newer will come.
If you decided to "skip" or wait - more likely (but not always) it is not that you really want.

And example with the budget:
Let's say each month you decided to skip some 1 RCM coin, priced $100. You like it, but think to buy later with discount.
Now, the coins really became discounted, 50% each, in December, close to Christmas.
You can buy them all in one order, but instead of paying monthly $100, you have to pay $500 one time, in the worst period for additional expenses. Looks like, many will again delay this purchase, or just will buy part of the items.

I would say - (again, in general case) - or buy now, or just forget about it.

What I been doing is making a list of all the RCM coins ( I do this with all coins actually that I like or interest me)and I track their prices on a regular basis.

I rank them between 1-10, 1 being the most important, and so I just follow the sales and record them.

In this manner, they are always top of mind and I get a sense of fair going market prices and I can keep up with my collection

Besides, with RCM's quality control getting so much worse in the past 2 years, I found myself (even buying directly from the Mint) having to exchange about one coin each month. It's easy to have coins exchanged with the Mint, but I doubt that can be done as easily with dealers. That's why even with some dealers offering 5% off new coins, I still rather buy from the Mint directly.
