    I won't be getting any of the 50 I ordered, the company didn't put my ordered ones aside when I placed the order, instead they waited until they received my money order and then after it cleared, they decided to check inventory (which was all gone by then). I think that's complete BS!

    At the price that was listed ($60), it was probably either a bogus offer or they forgot to update their prices and/or their availability, i.e. they couldn't have set any aside for you because they never had that amount or for that price anyway by then.

    The lady said a few big orders came in in the last few days, I'm guessing since someone posted the link in the original thread, they got ordered.

    Oh well, I was only planning on keeping 5 and then selling the rest to SS members at very reasonable prices (I talked to Yennus about it via PM).

    Yeah, after all the 'noise' that a certain person made regarding NWTM, I decided to purchase some way back a few months ago, and found they didn't have enough stock to make it worthwhile.

    2009 Pandas @ $60... if it sounds too good to be true... probably is :)

    Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that person making all that noise. Had I known about how NWTM deals with orders over the phone/internet, I would've just driven down there and picked up what they had left.

    Northwest Territorial Mint can kiss my ass!!! No wonder "Northwest Territorial Mint Scam" comes up in Google when you type in their company name.

    A lot of places do that, they charge you first and then tell you whether or not they have stock afterward. It's amazing how backward lots of companies are in this line of business lol.

    Oh well, I'm glad I got one 2009 from yennus at bargain price of $90 :lol:.

    ps. It's the 30th, where be pricepedia? :(

    You are saying that they had the coins, so it obviously wasn't too good to be true. I also like how you stated that you would purchase the coins at 10-20% over the $58-60 price and then as soon as Diablo21 stated he had ordered them, you immediately went back on your word. You don't exactly have room to attack anyone else's credibility Yennus.

    I'm pretty sure you can get a Nissan GTR for around $80k USD, yet new here, we pay closer to $190k.

    Silly isn't it.

    Hi. I'm unfamiliar with Panda collecting but I have a mother in law in the US who regularly buys "things" for me. :) In short, does the NWTmint sell pandas? I just looked on their site and can't find any listings.

    dccpa, I don't know why you keep coming here and causing trouble.

    1. NWT Mint was a deal too good to be true. They didn't have enough stock to fulfill my order and obviously not enough stock for someone else too.
    2. I never went back on my word. I would still purchase 2009 1oz Pandas at 10-20% over the $58-$60 price.

    You made a pretty shocking recommendation, and as a result someone has posted their experience. "They took my money and then 2 1/2 weeks later, after they cashed my check, they told me they don't have the product. It's been a month now and I have yet to see my $3k back. I looked around on the interwebs and I'm not the only one they've done this to."

    I hope my credibility is holding up better than yours, especially after that cr@p recommendation :)

    To be fair dccpa just posted a link on where the Pandas could be found, he never said (at least in the 2 posts I'm talking about) NWTM was a good/great company.

    Anyways, I'm not going to post on this topic anymore, I will get my money back, they are a big company and they're not going anywhere. I'll wait till Wednesday and if there is not check, I'll call them. My brother-in-law volunteered to pay them a visit if I don't get my money back soon.

    In the future, if someone is about to deal with a company that another member has dealt with and weren't satisfied with the transaction, please let us know about your experiences so we don't waste our time, that's what I would do (and I did in another post).

    Thank you!

    Was reading this all day at work... well not all day, just 95% of the day, other 5% for posting on SS :lol:

    Quite a few prices weren't up to date, I recently bought some pandas and their mintage is so low the prices in the guide are below spot due to lack of data :p

    Nice move on the older fractionals :)

    I too suspect these will be bouncing up the charts in the future :)
