These TV guys are just insane

Just watched their "Original Government Packaging Madness" offering a bunch of 1970's and 1980's proof and mint sets being sold for $200. The guy said that these sets are being offered for $372 elsewhere.
Not really... It's $95 at one of the big companies. Yes, you also get an Ike dollar and the 2005 quarters proof set as a "bonus" from the TV guys, but that's only about $20 worth of coins, so the price should be $115, not $200.
Normally I would only laugh at these guys, but I realize that a lot of beginners fall for this, and they are going to be very disappointed if they have to sell their coins in the near future and only get half of their money back. Dealers like this will scare
I know that the TV guys can charge whatever they want, but they are frauding people when they tell you that the coins are much more expensive elsewhere.
Perhaps I should go the the FUN show and talk to these crooks.

I know that this has been discussed before, but I'm just shocked by these drooks in suits.

Another great deal: 1975 and 1976 mint sets for $70 total. It's $22 elsewhere
