spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 03:20 am It doesn't seem like a bad deal if it sells for the starting bid or close. Less than $10 a set and several silver sets included. Great feedback. What do you think? 391690598279 Maybe some have dealt with this seller before.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 06:44 am If I collected proof sets and needed a bunch, I would be tempted to go for this. Not so good if you only needed a few, as you would be stuck with a lot of un-needed sets. Edited by oriole 02/05/2017 06:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 11:01 am From a quick look, it seems to me the seller has another listing for the exact same group of proof sets: 332097505417 This one is a BIN for $899 or make offer. I also note that both listings use a photo with the old ebay picture logo in the lower right corner. This means, I think, that the photo was copied from an ebay listing at some time in the past. It may mean nothing, but I think it is odd. It might mean they have tried to sell this set before, or it could have come from a listing where they BOUGHT it long ago. The seller has been registered since 1998, has almost 31,000 positive feedback rating with no non-positive in the last year. Toolhaus, however, reveals that they have received quite a few bad feedback in the past for various issues related to coin sales, noticeably proof sets.

I had not heard of Toolhaus before. Thank you nss-52 as it looks like a very helpful ebay research tool! ~ Mark Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 1:28 pm If you took these sets, as they are, to a show and asked for price offers from dealers for the lot, I sincerely doubt you'd be able to get an offer over $350, at the top end. There are FAR more of these for sale than their are buyers for them. Thank all the collectors in the past that ordered 5, or 10, or 20 of each year, every year. Report this Post to the Staff
