Westward Journey Coin and Medal Proof Set price test
I've checked out some of the new Westward Journey proof sets going on
ebay so I figured I'd take mine down to the local coin shop. I knew I'd get less then ebay prices but I thought if they would offer me something in the same ballpark I'd trade it in instead of taking cash for it. That would save me the hassle of ebay. I looked around and they didn't have any on display or behind the counter on any of the shelves. I took that as a good sign thinking there might be a demand for my treasure. I showed them my un-opened box as received from the mint and asked them if they were buying any of the Westward Journey Proof sets. There was a very awkward moment when I had to describe in detail what I had in my box since it seemed I was the only one in the coin store that knew what I was talking about. They acted as if they had never heard of it. I made it clear I was willing to trade or take cash. The offer came back at $25 tops. I guess I need to do more homework next time. joe Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
