lol those coins are not even rare. I think everyone who got one decided to keep them

They don't mention the grade of Groupon though, only the Wicount?

Choose between these options:

Pay R1 232 for one MS66 Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Coin, valued at R2 800
Pay R3 360 for three MS66 Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Coins, valued at R8 400
Pay R4 760 for five MS66 Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Coins, valued at R14 000

There you go.

Typical Groupon in my opinion... overstating the price of things

Maybe Groupon buys them from us ;-)

I think I have some of these in my wallet :wtf:

More than likely hey

Then add their normal 500% markup on what the goods "Should" sell for...

Number of times I've seen Groupon selling something for more than the normal retail price, and claiming it retails for nearly double what they're selling it for.

You won't

They're in a plastic container and never been circulated

 

[Soutie_za]

Well it looks like it works, 261 have bought the deal to date. Thats a nice bit of change made from them

 

[Dolby]

So they can sell one at R1,232.00 ... ?

In that case anyone want at R1,000.00 - for two?

Its because this world is full of people who don't double check.. they just believe when they see something is apparently "worth x, but we can sell it to you for y".... all it takes is 30 seconds of Googling to see they're ripping the arse out of it.

Rofl I have some graded presidential R5 coins. I just collect coins for fun and will pass them down eventually. You wont become a million air off collecting coins.

Also collect stamps but most are from Mauritius and handed down from my grandma(RIP).
