Winnipeg dealer re-raises price to $199.95 and accepts only phone orders. After a while they accept online order again. Soon the mint will move it to the Last Chance section. |

My theory is that dealers have an obligation to sell at the mint prices while the mint has the item in stock. Hence Winnipeg dealer starts at $140, increases as mint is 'sold out', then drops back to $140 when mint releases more.
Mint gets more from cancelled pre-orders?
Vancouver and Kitchener dealers are holding back their allotment of GBs waiting for the mint to sell out so they can sell at a higher price.

I just went to the Post Office and was able to pre-order one through them. Actually, they already reserved it for me knowing I would want it. It doesn't seem like it is that hard to get.

Wow, Talk about saturation. Although the Bees seem to be selling well above $200, there are almost 30 ebay listings for these coins. And they haven't even been released yet. I can only imagine how many of these will be listed once they ship. |

I do appreciate the boost in value it has given to my ladybug coin. Several recently sold again in the $325 and up category!

How they come up with their retail price I don't know other than it being a marketing strategy to show customers how much they "saved."
Last summer, Kroger's had their 6 oz house brand iciclecream on "manager's special". 25ยข, regular $1.09. Not once did they ever charge more than a quarter, but I "saved" a lot of money that summer. |

No worries. At this rate, the next coin will probably have mintage of 20,000 :-).

I spoke to the post office today and they told me they were sold out. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

How could it be sold out at the Post Office before it was even posted online?
