So if I offered you $18.75 for a $20 bill what would you say?


Sorry Don, my answer can't be posted on a family forum...

P.S. Great snags!

I have see the 2011 $20 for $20 sell for $40 up to $50. Heck Manitoba seller little Debbie's fun stuff lists them for $110 and has sold a couple in the past. I all depends on how long your willing to run your ad. If your basically a collector just trying to sell a couple extra to pay for the first, it is in the realm of possibility.

I'm not advocating to grab 50 or more and you'll be a millionaire. A couple extra could be a possibility. I realize some people may not want to bother, not a problem.
For me it's not a big deal to pack a coin for shipping while watching TV, what else am I going to do during commercials. There's 15 mins of commercials every hr.
each person here knows how to collect to meet his needs.

Depends on the time and availability.

I for 10 past years do not watch a TV. I have it but connected to the laptop only. So I can not enjoy 15 mins of the commercials.

I just cancelled my cable, it's gotten too expensive!! I can watch over computer or my iPhone. Shaw cable has a Netflix type of idea. Just launched Nov. 4, I get 3 months free. Great I'd with laptop & TV. My son has a 32" HD TV hooked up to his desktop. I can't look at the screen more than 15 mins, I get nauseous and a slight headache. It's frustrating I don't know why it happens. A 17" monitor no issues, but a 32" flat screen and I'm ill for half a day. It's very strange. So I just use my iPhone.

On ebay a $25 flag is on auction. It's already at $36 with $3 shipping. It has 3 and a half days to go.

Hey Pocket change, I haven't had cable for years , I run a 40 inch lcd TV off of my Desktop computer, not sure why your getting nauseous/headaches, might be because your sitting too close, I sit well back in a lazy boy chair with key board on my lap and mouse on arm rest , about 5 ft to 6 ft away. I use netflixs as well but some of the content isn't that hot lol, but the tv series and some of the movies are pretty good.

I wonder how this new 180 day money back garentee will affect coin sales, I mean as the coin drops in value which happens after the first months or so you could just return it and get a cheaper one within 180 days, If I was a seller I would be a bit worried about this new rule,

I wouldn't like the chance of ebay taking money out of my account for 180 days if someone returns something etc etc. plus I am sure some people dont treat coins as well as you or I , some most likely take the coin out of the capsule and man handles it, then oh well I dont like this coin anymore and its still within 180 days so it gets returned , hmmmm maybe I am being to much of a pessimist lol.

That's the advantage of presales as 180 days money back starts when you pay, so in this case we have 180-60=120 days after the buyer receives the item.

Northern my thoughts exactly! Hopefully 99% of the folks don't think this way. Another scenario is after 4-5 months buyer becomes broke and decides to return for refund! The UK is already doing this since June. So they're coming up on their 6 month period, just in time for Christmas, time to read UK ebay seller forums!

I think you found the reason the 32" screen makes me ill!! It's set up on the kitchen table, and of course I'm sitting 5" away. I can't handle more than 15-20 mins. I tried watching the grey cup last yr on it. After 20 mins I was in bed and taking a gravel tablet. I ended up listening to the game. Now this year I will be smarter.

I sporadically get cable when, shaw marketing calls up offering full cable for $20 monthly for 6 months. When promo is done, I cancel and 4-6 months later I usually get another promo call.
My teen son rarely watches TV. When the TV is on, it's channels like Nat Geo/History/Discovery and PBS. I can get most of those programs over the net anyway.
I am going to try and sit 5' away and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip Northern!!

I spoke with a CCF member, who's a full time dealer when I was at the Edm coin show. He really felt it would be minimal disruption, as many credit cards have this time period for chargebacks. I never knew about chargebacks being for such a long period until reading the forums. I've always gone by a stores return policy.

@ Arianzo, I'd never even thought of the angle you proposed. It's a very interesting take on Presales and delivery times.

I would have ordered multiples if they sold them individually. I suppose I could order the subs and cancel in February but that seems like a hassle. lol

I think the Flag will sell out quicker than the Snowman did.

Do you remember any recent coin, that haven't been sold as single? Only some boxed sets, like "BoC PHS Gold 6-coin set (with PHS 1912 $10)", "Gold Glass Creatures" and the recent silver set have the coins combined.

I would say, just wait...

I think this one has the legs to sell out in subscription. Time will tell but I think the design is just that good.

I ordered one subscription rather than the usual three like last year.

Once the other designs are revealed and they are available individually, I may order extra but not until then.

I can't see the RCM taking 200,000 subscription orders for these coins. My guess is that only a portion of the entire mintage is reserved for this purpose.

The idea is to get new collectors buying their NCLT product. Either way I hope the design translates well onto the coin and sells out.
