Most important factor for IDEAL TPGS?

You were trying to show HOW IMPORTANT turnaround time was.... by removing literally every other thing that could matter? I think you just showed that it is NOT that important.

In other words, it's like me trying to ask a super model... if literally every other guy in the world was dead... would I have a shot?

 

And the Super Model would say, "Shot of what, silly?"

 

Since my response to your OP was the only one posted prior to this quote I would assume that you are implying that my post was in jest.

It wasn't. Speed of service by a TGP is of ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE to me since I have never--and will never in the future--submitted a coin for certification. Any slabbed coin I may own at a particular point in time was already slabbed prior to my purchase. How long it took the submitter to get it back is irrelevant to me.

I have, on the other hand, UNSUBMITTED a lot of coins over the years. This means the ability to easily remove the coin (you know, that small round disk that is supposedly the thing we are collecting) from its plastic IS of importance to me. The easier/cleaner that it breaks open, the better.

 

BINGO! That's exactly why the hypothetical TPGS SHOULD be "better" than the rest. Each fictional service grades discolored, stained gold exactly the same only one (the best to use) sends it back quicker. And I thought you got it at first; but now I'm not so sure.

 

YES! Exactly. That's better. You do get it.

 

Of course the supermodel may just decide that the survival of the human race REALLY isn't that important.

 

Thank you. I am amazed how many members cannot read or interpret what they read.

Your first post was irrelevant AND SO IS THIS ONE.
Don't you get it... Now, why don't you post more on this thread as it has become the joke you were kind enough to start in the beginning.

 

Speed of return was the only factor I wished to prove was important. There is no "fair" in my post. My OP was to prove a point using a "rigged" hypothetical situation.

It is like this with everything these days. My ability to communicate something that should be very simple to understand and confirm is nonexistent. Consider me a frustrated old idiot. Enjoy!

 

If you are trying to prove speed IS very important, then you need to say something more like.... "company A has super ugly holders, but grades and ships fast. Company B has beautiful holders, but is really slow. Who do you pick?"

 

Actually, all I should need to have posted is POST#1. Holders, labels, security, customer service, location, cost, etc., etc. were OFF THE TABLE.

Then, most replies would have said something like: In your example, I should pick the service with the fastest turnaround! Then I should have printed the entire thread agreeing that all things being equal - the speed of one service is the only difference and deciding factor...

Case closed; and I could have sent the print out of this thread to the idiots (not you guys) who don't understand this simple, uncomplicated concept and wish to argue with me. Unfortunately, it is not going to happen so I'll eat crow!

Thanks for all replies!

 

Post #1 is not easy to understand but I agree that speed would be the most important thing.

 

AAGHHH! Of COURSE people would pick faster service if literally EVERY OTHER FACTOR is the exact same. That does NOT prove fast service is super important at all though. You could literally do your argument for ANY aspect of a service, from the most important to the least.

 

I once had a philosophy prof whose favorite question was, "If there were only two foods, Oreos and blueberry pie, would we eventually come to think of one of them as evil?"

His question was how decisions change if there are only two choices. This was worse. The only choice was speed or no speed.

 

That was the intent of my next post! This post was simply to prove a point to some hard-headed numismatists.

 

Depends... Which one did you feed to Schrodinger's cat?

 

Her reply? "Help yourself!"

If the supermodel is anything like the dumb blonde on "Married With Children" she would probably say, "Who needs men anyway! We'll just adopt."

Take solace in the fact that this isn't the military. Rather than follow orders, they would argue with you, and the UCMJ would be useless.

Your philosophy prof was foolish. If his students were anything like the members, here, they would probably ask something like, "Are the Oreos double thick?" or "Does the blueberry pie have a lattice top?" Some might say, "Who cares! I'll eat them both!" Some might say they'll eat the Oreos, first, then the blueberry pie, but others might say, "Nah! I'd rather eat the blueberry pie, first, and save the best for last." And finally, there would be that group who countered, "Are you implying that Oreos are better than blueberry pie?"

That's pretty much the result achieved in this hypothetical thread.
