I got an order in with Royal Mint on the night - I'm feeling left out for not receiving my dispatch confirmation email

Just got an email to say items have been dispatched. 

+1

mine went from status open direct to dispatched without the status closed and invoiced as other people have had

Looks like the eBay hype is dying down they seem to be ending at around £85 auction price now

I know the feeling..until 2 mins ago. My order went from open to closed but states ‘invoiced’, so I am assuming it’s Thunderbirds are Go!

Hopefully yours will go the same way very soon.

Or

Hype dies down and you pick up a gold for £500 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[GrahamDiamond]

£110 today so far, always lower sales in afternoon, still doing well, if you can get double the price your doing well Coinsters !!!!

Give it a while and pick one up for less than release price.  That's what I usually do if I like the look of something.

Recently picked up a couple of Queen's beast proofs for less than release price.

[FlorinCollector]

Just up as ive been on the nightshift and got a dispatch email to

[longplay]

Same as the rest, I got a despatch email around lunchtime

[RichmondStacker]

I got a dispatched email too.  I bought two which I will flip to add more funds to the next gold purchase (1oz US Buffalo). I didnt feel right putting them up on ebay until I had them in my hand, even if it has missed out on the higher hype price.

Bought one at Mint price in case the train left the station and made sure I had a ticket for £65 (you gotta pay to play) and if the train gets shunted into the sidings, and the ticket has cost me £30 too much, then buy a couple more later at the lower prices to cost price average down.....to make up some character sets with some other doubles I have.....

 

I other words, I am spending £30 for a train ticket to not miss a run like the 2016 rabbit...better odds than a lottery ticket and you have a £30 coin no matter what, possibly highr if put in a set of characters from other series.....and with a 3 year old daughter in tow, I am a hero ! Win win  Learning my lessons bit by bit.....everyone has different reasons for this hobby.....just like everything else in life.....

Account this morning just stated order open and invoiced.  Nothing showing on credit card transaction statement.

I have not got a despatched email!

Then postman just called with a parcel.....

2 x Silver

1x Gold

YABADABADOOOOOO!😀😀😀😀

[FrozenMojito]

Mine just arrived too, in a box filled with Wotsits. They weren't very tasty though...

The coin's nice though. It's the first one I've got in the acrylic display case. I much prefer it to the old fashioned presentation boxes. Not sure about the printing on the case though- since it is printed directly on the back of the acrylic I wonder if it will wear off in time if it gets handled too much.

Mines still on open. If it's anything like my snowman i'll get in April

@mustynewb  I think your Snowman was diverted due to being on the same flight path as that rogue drone 😁

Looks like mine should be delivered today. Now have I missed the bubble for selling one for a silly price...

What was the silly price?

[GrahamDiamond]

Highest Sale was £150 , Now average sale price is £90 Coinsters !!  This is the Frenzy, wait until later in the year, then you can Judge the Gruffalo Silver Proof 50p. 

[kimchi]

I would sell now if you bought more than you want yourself or as gifts for others (i.e. flipping), I would maybe keep one extra at most to see how they do.

By itself in your collection I would say never expect to sell at more than you paid, so if you are happy to keep one for what you did pay then do so and enjoy this lovely coin! If they should appreciate then that is also a lovely surprise!

I think they got the mintage about right for this one. Shouldn't depreciate or appreciate much (after the frenzy) imho.

'A Coin For the Real Coinsters amongst us', as Grumpy Dave the Turtle might say!

[GrahamDiamond]

I am happy with mine, one for sale now, keep the other 3 and see how it goes Kimchi, I have a feeling people have been too quick to flip and maybe the real Coinster,s are mopping up all these coins just like they did with the Kew Gardens 50p that Know one was interested in and Peter Rabbit 2016 colour coin. I Purchased these coins because I had a Gut feeling about them, I get the same Feeling about the Gruffalo 50p, only time will tell ?? P.S. Grumpy Dave will be back on your screens next week Coinster,s  Boooom !!!!!!!!!!!

[FlorinCollector]

I kept one and gave the other to my mum and dad so happy days for both.
