Throughout my whole 45 minute ordeal, I was thinking, "Do I really want this?". I'm not going to flip it. It will stay in my collection until I die, God willing. Then it will be my son's problem. How much would this be worth in 10 years? Probably less than what I paid for it after adjusting for inflation.

Down to 27k, this is moving much faster now. Probably by 2PM ET they'll be unavailable.

Fist time ordering from US Mint. What does a Canadian expect for hassles along the way?

Someone is trying to sell an ungraded set for $900 on ebay. Looks like the lowest ebay price for ungraded is about $400.

What I don't understand is that the auction listings on ebay (not the buy it now listings) are already showing bids north of $300 across multiple listings - while the product is still available on the USM site.

ChicagoCoinGuy - it is because people are stupid. Or they have so much money not dealing with the mint's website is worth the premium.

Yeah, I don't understand that either. I guess they figured they can't get one.

Very interesting (albeit frustrating) experience ordering these. Instead of them selling out in the expected 20 - 30 minutes, here at an hour and 43 minutes into the sale they haven't all been sold yet. Either they're intentionally slowing the server down to stretch out the selling time (for reasons I can't guess), or their servers are working far worse than they did a couple weeks ago. For 57 minutes I was going nuts dealing with their server errors, I gave up, came back 15 minutes later, and it worked after a couple tries. Weird.

Can you imagine someone trying to buy something else, like a roll of dollars or something, while this crunch is going on? They must think the Mint is even more messed up than it is.

I'm directly connected to my router with an Ethernet cable and have 1 gigabit/second upload and download speed via FIOS, so I don't think that's the problem. it's not that things were slow, it's just that the server kept crashing under the load.
It's now nearly 2 hours in and there still appear to be about 15000 available. The last times I was unable to place an order within the first 30 minutes or so, they completely sold out. So maybe this is the Mint's new strategy to encourage people to wait a bit before trying to order...
