 Price wise is off the chart, I think toning like these should add no more than 50% of original coin prices, but that just my opinion. |

On a rainbow coin I'd like the Price I pay to be less than melt value and the sale price to be three times melt... that may just be me thou.

I agree that it is overpriced. On the other hand as a dealer I think I understand what is going on. I THINK the seller is giving a perception of high value; while at the same time entertaining offers. If he can get an offer significantly above book, then it is a tactic that will have worked well, to very well. Depending on the final price.
