    had a bitch to them on the phone because I had ordered other items I said it is no good sending a part order and refunding so I said I am willing to send back the order but unwilling to pay the freight. I stated that they were in breach of the TP act. We will see what happens.\

    I saw a slabbed one go on USA ebay for over $500! I have a few on order from various sources but they are yet to arrive. I reckon they saw the price go up and started flogging them off for the higher price rather than supplying those who preordered. I was lucky enough to get one from Peter Strich at issue price. I see Coinclub has them at over $200.

    I ordered some from coin club on Feb 5, I have paid them already but I don't know if I will receive them or get refunded as it has been quite some time.

    I sold one on eBay for over $200. I have one more that I am keeping. I'm planning on going to the mint with my family on the weekend and will buy a few more if they still have any left. Flip a few and get 1 for the collection for free.

    It's a really good looking coin.

    They could be a dealer or know a dealer who always gets an allocation?

    One of the big dealer is Moderncoinmart.com. They listed 7-8, then took them ALL off before auction was over. Then they started to put slabbed ones on Ebay, claiming ONLY 19 COINS GRADED PF70, and Perth Mint has sold out. They are such an opportunist :)

    I ordered one from a coin dealer, not sure they will send it to me.

    They are all gone from the retail shop. Looks to be sold out so good luck if you want one of these.

    Hi,
    Just a heads up on this product, we recieved our allocation last week, BUt the allocation was so small it sold out within 2 days :( , i personally didnt even get to keep one for myself. Start of a series coins will have a 85% chance to command a good secondary market return.

    James

    Would you say the same applies to the Welsh dragon?

    Just got one Opal Koala from Downie's today @ issue price. I ordered it 3 weeks ago. They only got 70 in total from the Mint, only allowed to buy one. Seems the Red Welsh Dragon's are long gone too, only 5000 mintage.
