I'm holding, but my eyes are still tearing up.

 

They might be reprocessed, but I'll give them this, it's still "Made in America". There's very few retailers that can claim all of their product comes from the good old U.S.A. Just the other day, I was a little stunned to find out most of Sears' Craftsman tools are made in China.

 

All of my Craftsman stuff is made in the USA.

 

Blissskr, thank you very much for that picture. I'd much rather go for the coins on the left.

 

This is my favorite post of the month.

 

Yeah, it used to be all made in the USA, but now a lot of it is made in China. I refuse to buy tools I rely upon from countries like China.

 

I feel the same way. Additionally, I don't think Craftsman still upholds the "lifetime" warranty on all of their products like they used to. That used to be their biggest selling point. These days, I pay a little bit more for Snap On tools when I need them.

 

What do you call ten dead lawyers?



































A good start!

I wonder if you requested old, rusty, original coins they would comply? :devil:

I'd rather have those than reprocessed ones.

 

Good points, it's doubtful that Littleton makes a profit on this offer considering cost of shipping and manual effort for processing... . Pricewise there is much worse on ebay.

 

We live in a free market economy.You are not required to buy them from Littleton nor are they the only place they are available for purchase.If you look at the ad and don't know what reprocessed means google it.Then check around and see if you find some place cheaper to buy from.Most people don't go to buy a car and purchase it without checking around for lower pricing or better deals or without researching the model car they want for reliability ,cost per mile and such.At least Littleton isn't putting a picture up and not leting you know first its "reprocessed" at least knowing that you can compare apples to apples and not a reprocessed coin to a genuine coin.Truth in advertising I have to commend them for that.When all is said and done I do not buy from them since I can usually find exactly what they have cheaper elsewhere.

 

I don't see anything wrong with what they are doing. They are being sold for what they are. These sets have been around for as long as many here have been alive. Years ago you would see them selling for as much as $9.99.

 

There is no attempt on the part of Littleton to deceive.
There are bigger problems in the world than this.
Get over yourselves.

 

I can top that, I sell elephant crap for $500 a pound :devil:

That wasn't a video... it was more like a slide show... of two slides.

 

Thad, I'm sure if you wanted to pay $3 for three rusty steel cents, ANYONE would comply.

 

As long as I am number 11.

 

Lets hope the Chinese don't read about this..........

 

Well I think it's "OK" in the sense it's not illegal, but I still think it's morally and ethically wrong. So for those who say they can at least respect them for being honest, I'll have to disagree. I don't think a company that intentionally and knowingly sells worthless crap deserves respect just because they're not blatantly lying about it. So in that sense, I still insist it's not "OK."

I still don't get why people on a coin collecting board of all places doesn't see anything wrong with selling things that are considered worthless from a numismatic standpoint, to uneducated collectors that wouldn't buy such things if they knew better. They're not technically lying, but they're certainly lying by omission, and they're certainly taking advantage of their customers' ignorance. I still call that immoral and unethical in my book.
