I guess but I wouldn't want to be the one buying when the music stops. The old "I think its ugly and buying at the same time" is going on I think.  Seen it too many times in the US stock market when a analyst downgrades a stock and  their firm is buying  the same stock on a pullback.  LOL

Guess what the mint hasn't even manage to ship them out to the dealers yet!

Don't plan to. Just calling him out for gouging. 

Here we go again.  It seems to me that you hold a personal grudge against meunzdachs which is why you're bringing this gouging accusation up again.  All very unnecessary to be honest.  Just for your info, there was another site that sold at least 114 dogs that I saw in 20 something minutes for 90Euro each.  Another sold out at 109Euro.  I see another at 139 Euro.  The site that morezone linked to was selling them originally at 95Euro but has nearly run out and since put up their price.  How do I know that?  Because I bought from them.  Supply and demand and given the rooster price now it's hardly surprising.  So here's the question.  Why are you focusing on Meunzdachs?  Is it personal?  It certainly seems like it to me.

We're all adults here and don't need telling who to buy from ...or not.

Business is business, he's entitled to sell at whatever price he chooses. If nobody chooses to buy, he'll have to reduce his prices or go out of business.

If you want to compete and undercut him, you are at liberty to buy some coins from the mint and sell them for a 1% profit margin or even cost.

@Sal  You do have freedom of speech which is a wonderful thing however it doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to behave in a civil manner.  Continuing the feud that you had with a gold forum member on a different thread is not a good example of freedom of speech.  Its a repeat of your previous personal attack and quite frankly bordering on libellous.  As was pointed out to you numerous times by other posters the price that a limited item sells for is determined by what the market will sustain.  Meunzdachs is a business owner that chooses what price he sells for.  If he fails to sell then he will eventually put the price down or go out of business.  It was also pointed out to you with links to other dealers that he is not the most expensive dealer quoting for these coins which makes your comments appear all the more personal.

Here's a quote from Jester replying to you and pointing out that you've had a number of chances to just drop this.  You did for a while but again today we have you trying to score points against Meunzdachs.  It's baseless libel and just plain rude of you.  As you say, I have the freedom of expression to point that out to you.

Muenzdachs has just increased his price for at least the fifth time on the Nautical Santa Maria silver proof to 180 euro plus 10 euro shipping. He calls it supply and demand. I call it tucking it to collectors that just want to buy and hold the coin. Moderator scolded me for me expressing my true feelings on what I thing about Muenzdachs. In America we have first amendment rights to freedom of speech. Is Germany and the  Eu going back to the days of Germany old? Sounds like it to me.

You were spoken to by a Moderator likely because you called a fellow Forum member a "price gouging S.O.B." (which has since been redacted).  Even after @shortstack68 discretely tried to give you a heads up that Muenz is a Gold Member who actively participates on the Forum providing you with an opportunity to modify your approach to something more civil, you pressed on.  While members of this community disagree with each other from time to time, we do so in a respectful manner without resorting to name calling regardless of what side of the pond you're on.

As an owner and seller of the coins in question, @muenzdachs is completely within his rights to sell them for whatever he chooses.  As @Roy mentioned above, you can then make the choice not to buy from him.  It is in fact all about supply and demand (regardless of how much you want it to not be so).  From what I'm reading, this coin is 1) hot right now, 2) in very high demand and 3) in very short supply.  And you want him to sell his remaining (limited) stock for what it originally sold for (or even a small mark-up)?  That makes no sense.  Let me put the same scenario to you...you own a coin that is red hot, highly sought after by the coin collecting community and just can't be found anywhere.  You decide you'd like to cash in on the hype and so you're going to sell it on the secondary market for what?  What you purchased it for?  What it could originally be had for when dealers had stock?  A small percentage mark-up?  There's no need to respond, it's a rhetorical question as we know what the truthful response is.  And you know what, I wouldn't begrudge you in the least for doing so.  Capitalism is a beautiful thing.

I must admit, if Sal had said this to other gold members who pay a price to be on here and sell their coins I think an ass kicking would have been done long before now, can’t understand why he hasn’t had one yet.

WTF are you talking about? The more I rant and rave the more eyeballs come to the website to express their opinions. That is good for business 101. Now you can respond short stack.
