Cool! I'm looking forward to watching it.

 

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

 

As soon as she said "roadshow" I lost any interest in watching. The gold buyer scammers have forever tainted the word roadshow. So, is this just another one of those companies looking to rip off old ladies and film it all for our entertainment?

Hope this reality show is realistic.
THIS BUSINESS IS NOT BBB ACCREDITED
Alhambra Coin Center
They do have some complaints and compliments on insiderpages that seem to be half and half.

Mark my words, that one day there will be a reality show call
"garbage men wars"
where different independent garbage haulers fight over territories for customers to root through their garbage and dumpsters for unusual finds.

 

I'll watch it, but after watching all the home shopping coin shows, I don't know how much more numismatically-based entertainment I can stand!

After I got home from the store the other day, I was wondering how long it would be before they come up with a show called "Supermarket Wars".

 

Garbage men wars... Sounds like "The Sopranos"

 

We already had one of those around these parts......


Just what we need, another (un)reality TV show.

 

And I'm sure it will be 100% scripted (and salted) to insure viewer interest, just like the rest of the so-called "reality" shows.

 

I was gonna post the same thing till I saw this!! Haha

 

To get this back on the coin theme, I hope that it is a popular show as so many more people will get interested in coins and this will help the hobby and give coin collecting more exposure.

 

My girlfriend is going to say :rollling:.

 

And she'd be right........

 

Alhambra coin is one of the local shops in my area that I have dealt with for years. I can't say much about their outside buyers, but I have never had any problems with the people that work inside the B&M buying or selling. I'm sure like most/all reality TV it will be scripted, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

I don't know if I like this idea. Sure, I'd love to watch a program dedicated to coins, however, I believe that shows like Pawn Stars and American Pickers turn every idiot into a so-called expert. I am already very leary when I buy coins from a new person and I'm apprehensive that a series of this nature will bring even more shysters into the community than there already are.

 

I'd like to see "Dumpster Divers".

 

Agreed.
If this program, or others like it, were to become popular, it would likely drive prices higher. Good for sellers, but bad for buyers.

 

I can see it now! A line of 20 people standing behind you at the checkout with all of their ice cream and such melting while you try to negotiate your bill down from $387.43 to $125.00.

That was my first thought when I read the article.

Goody, more collectors. Hello higher prices.
