Your interested international friends (me) miss the point from your short message. I am able to view a lot of Canadian coins in OGH ... why is this noteworthy?  David |

Nickelsearcher,
Did you notice the coins were ALL the same? The guy bought 52 of the candy cane coin because he gambled on them being a big hit like the Glass Venetian Ladybug coin which is going for $1000.
So the guy spent $7800 on 52 coins at $150 each.
The Mint must be very happy with him.

Makes a nice display though. Expensive, but nice.

Actually it only cost him $7800... Not $22,800

Sorry about that, $7800 is the correct amount.
Still, selling for $108 (less fees) mean a loss of $50 per coin or total $2500 loss.

I only counted 50 coins, but we don't know how much he paid for it. Could be he got them at a bit of a bargain - based on quantity purchase.

If not photoshop - looks nice, the all picture.
But in overall - isn't it bad what he did?
When someone buy one to resell - its normal and usual thing, but to hoard the quantity such this?
According to location, I guess, that he emptied CC&C stock.
Btw, it even might be CC&C related account itself, trying to distribute the stock in different ways.
Does someone still want the Glass Snowmen?

As a Buyer only I can say that this picture is the biggest turnoff you can offer me. The vast quantity they have in stock on this coin makes me think it will hardly gain in value and that they got stuck with a lot of them.

Seems like a stupid way to sell something.
It makes me think they are way to common to be worth anything.

So, you think most of the buyers buy coins thinking only if they will worth anything?

This is ridiculous if these were bought on spec for resale. The guy isn't very bright. Glad I cancelled my candy cane last year.
