[closed] Group buy: Dinosaur - 25-Cent Coloured Glow-in-the-dark Coin (2012)

[New Member]

Ok I want to buy this coin but hate the $8 shipping so whoever wants to order, lets do a group buy as its the same price shipping even if I order 10. This will not be needed if those free coupons have still worked :(

Example

1 coin cost: $42.87

but if I order 10, total cost per coin: $34.47.

My goal is to at least get 10.

how did you get 42? i am seeing the price of 29.95. do they charge tax on them now?

hey, newmember, are you intend to collect all 4 sets of this???

Because I am.... and if you do too, maybe we could keep this going until we complete the entire set?

I have a feeling when we do, it will fetch a nice premium (keep one for myself and one for sale). ;)

Yup, its not silver so they charge tax on both product and shipping. Only 3 more coins to collect and ya it will worth more when trying to sell it plus I dont see any other legal tender coins that glow in dark.

Yup I will get the other 3 as well, 2 sets each, one to sell and one to keep for long term

Hopefully its not sold out when I decided to place an order :o

I am in it for 1, should have went with the flow of your two and went for 2 instead... could have sold one off quickly. :( Oh well.

[kingofwale]

I jumped too :)

how many did you get from him?

lol, why would you sell it? this value coin has nothing but up. Considering it's supposed to be a set and it's already up 300% in value. Just imagine once you have a set. :P

That's what I meant to say, kind of regret not getting a second one. Oh well.
Wonder what the status is on NM order page. Really looking forward to see how the coin works. Hope it isn't delayed as stated on the website.

[RolandCouch]

^^At least you got in for 1! lol

Totally regretting not loading up on these coins now.

[4flava]

how many did you get from him?



I only got 1 :(

I just found out about this coin and would love to get one for my son. Anybody have an extra coin for sale?

hit up a post office and put your name on the list, that's what I did. There's no guarantee of getting one but you never know. Other than that you're looking at paying 70+ for one.

What list?? I tried offering them my CC and they wouldn't take it! :(

[LordAnubis]

The one I went to had a list, thought all the postal outlets were doing the same...the one I went to was at the main postal building before it was moved to the airport (wpg). They wouldn't let me pre-pay incase they didn't get enough when they got to my name.

[4flava]

Looking at the website and it's saying that it ships May 25th so we have to wait over a month to get it. :(

[kingofwale]

Does anyone know to contact new member?

Wait to tell him to pick up his silver coins

He hasn't been online since the 23rd. Maybe he's on vacation?

[willyxjai]

I knew I should've joined you guys on this group buy, now that mint listed this as sold out. Where can i get my hands on this without paying too much of a premium like the ones being listed on ebay.

[RolandCouch]

Looks like OP has ran off anyway....

[4flava]

Looks like OP has ran off anyway....

I sure hope not. I got in just in time to get 1 as op was able to call in and adjust the order to include me. :(

[4flava]

Fyi, just got a PM from OP and he had to leave the country for a family emergency and won't be back until next week but he'll keep us posted. :)

i was fearing the worst as well, but new member is a solid guy from the time I had dealt with him.

Hope best of luck to him.

I say we give him small tips for his trouble. considering how much everyone is set to gain from this. :)

[SupsD]

any word on New Member? - hope he is okay
