Going price for common wheats?

[supaplums]

Just looking on ebay for a couple of weeks it seems to me that common bulk wheats are going for near 5 cents each. That sounds kind of high to me but most auctions lately seem to end up around this. Does that sound right to everyone? I remember in the mid 90s when I could get a well mixed bag of 5000 for a hair over $100! Times really have changed I guess.

Mark, I don't buy other than lots on ebay, or the BIN. I don't "compete" in the auctions. Been burned too many times! The seller I have been getting my wheats, and IOHC from has several prices, like $5.95/roll for run-of-the-mill cents, 48.95 for 40's-58's. Teens run $29.94. etc. IHC rolls run $79.95, w/free S&H. I bought two rolls. TYhe first had a DDO, Snow-001, in G-4. Between the two rolls, I have filled about13 holes. I did get all the 1912, (PDS). and in the last batch of teens, a 1909 and a1909 VDB. Some of the sellers have sent me culls that havwe been "culled out of culls"! I don't buy from them anymore.

Well I guess you have to find someone who is good and stick with them. I'm just experimenting right now with a couple of people. I figure the worst thing that could happen is that I'd be able to at least get a couple of cents a piece selling them after looking thru.

Thanks

That is only good, if you "Just happen" to get a good one! I have had some real rotton ones, and that turned me off wheats for a long time. I still have thousands of them, but no one wants culls, and that is what they are.

i've got around 350 rolls available if anyone is interested... they've been just sitting here, i haven't personally looked at them.. i promise

they're all solid dates and labeled.. mostly 40's and 50's if i remember right

they'll hit ebay eventually, but i'll check with you guys first.......... pm me i guess

Thanks for all the input but I decided to pick up a nice 14d this weekend instead of wheats to search. I'm so excited! Nice VF

I could go that route, but the 14-D is the only one missing,in that folder; except fot the "boss", '09-S VDB, and that is only a dream. I have three mors folders, with many holes. Two of them are about equal in holes filled.
Most of the boxes I have opened, have gone to solid date rolls, (for "tomorrow", when I get time). Mine run from 2008, back to thr wheats, and they go back to the '09/ Not all rolls are full, but they are getting there. I but quiarter boxes, and return them (after pulling what I can use, in bulk) I keep the box, and they hold 70 rolls I have several milk crates full, and a bunch with 50 rolls. Most have only beemn sorted by date, mint, and rolled.
Most of what I buy, and try to fill holes, are pre-'40. So-called book one.
