$250 is the cheapest selling price on thieveBay for full set

With only 1,000 sets maximum, the price will sour in the short time.

Remember, not everyone was able to secure the "11 coin day set" so I think only around 500 full sets are out there.

As a result, the price should, by the formulae demand and availability, should well and truly sky rocket.

Lets keep an eye on this one.

It was most definitely a Herculean effort for anyone and everyone who lined up every single day for 2 to 3 hours to get the full set of coins. I only went one day and that was enough for me. So if you consider the time and efort that went into putting those sets together $250-$350 really isn't too bad a price for all 11 coins.
I only wanted an example of the coin for the collection I wasn't too concerned about the different packaging each day. I went on day 10 and have a couple of spares if anyone is looking for one, I am happy to trade for other $1 coins.

It was really only the last few days that were difficult. Most days, I was in and out within 5 or 10 minutes. :)

Notes
l      Shop opened 5-10 minutes late
b1   Browsed the shop for 5-10 minutes between receiving and purchasing this batch
b2   Browsed the shop for 10-20 minutes between receiving and purchasing this batch
f      Bought both batches at once due to another family member being present

As you can see, the queue on Days 1-8 was really short, so it's only Days 9-11 that had the really long queues. :)

I wonder if these will be cataloged in the Renniks or McDonalds ?

I'm sure Maccas will make reference to them, even if it's just a footnote. :winkextra:

Goldseeker

Macca's listed the special sets of PNC's sold over six days of the Intl coin/stamp fair from a couple of years ago so why wouldn't the 11 day special issue sets be listed.

Because they are not PNCs I'd say 
Footnote yes but not likely to be given a value as the Catalogue is a guide only  :tease:

I'm not so sure runway.

11 days, 1000 coins per day in SEPARATE DAILY folders, all with the GC/CG incuse counterstamp on each coin.

Makes me feel that both will be listing them due to the low limit of the packaged product.
