It was a first strike coin. Come on, that in itself makes it worth it. Plus three easy payments of $35.95 and it has a home. Hope it gets here before Christmas.

No more waste than any other hobby purchase. If that is what someone wants then that is what someone wants.

The fact that one could find it for less money elsewhere is irrelevant. I can find the same steak a lot cheaper than it would be at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, too. Doesn't mean that I haven't been there. Nor does it make the owners "scammers".

 

When did he get glasses ?

and why were you wasting your time watching that show ?

 

I don't know I guess age caught up with him, I was bored and flipping through sling in my Roku and found it under coin collecting...

Yeah, it does.

At least with Ruth's you're paying the premium for the ambiance and service, intangibles which add value. With these people, you're just paying $40,000 for the exact same car a dealer next door will sell you for $20,000.

 

And that car dealer isn't a "scammer", either. He is selling a product just like the TV coin salesmen--the fact that his customer isn't willing to do a bit of research in order to find a better price rather than simply watching a commercial is the customer's problem.

 

I don't know if I totally agree with you. You're right...this probably isn't a scam in the sense that it's not outright fraud, but it certainly is questionable.

 

The difference is who is being targeted. Little old ladies are shopping on these networks (often for gifts or thinking it will be a good hand me down) and don't know that this guy is selling as @SuperDave said, the same car at twice the price. Should the target know more about the product they are buying?...maybe. But that can be said about many elderly targeted scams.

As for the Steak at Ruth Chris vs. going to your local pub and getting the same cut. I would ask, have you ever been to Ruth Chris? Absolutely no comparison. Plus you know ahead of time that you are paying a premium for that service.

 

I was wondering how long it would be until the "little old lady" argument was used. I'm sorry, but I just don't know if I totally buy that. There needs to be some accountability on the part of the consumer. The "little old lady" is simply a convenient argument that people won't oppose. I do agree that this is not a totally honest sales tactic...I also don't believe that these guys are making a fortune off the "little old ladies" of the US. Sure, some older people due get duped and that's a terrible thing...but a I would bet that the majority of the buyers are of average age and below average education.

 

The underlying question is, "As a buyer, do you have the right to expect a market-reasonable price from a seller, or are you on your own?"

Personally, I believe people who inflate pricing to take advantage should be publicly flogged. Others may think otherwise.

 

It

It's easy sitting in front of the television to shop. If it's being sold on TV it must be a good deal. I don't even need to get dressed!

 

I think there's a fine "ethical" line...and I do think the guys who sell these coins on TV cross it. I think there is a reasonable range that could be considered "market-reasonable" without being outlandish. I also think that we should hold the consumer to some level of responsibility. The simple fact is, if someone did a few minutes of homework before hitting the "buy" button...we wouldn't have this problem.

The truth issue is, some businesses out there have chosen to take advantage of buyers who are unwilling to do research and frankly have more money than sense. Shame on the businesses for doing so...but I honestly don't feel sorry for the buyer either.

 

I totally agree. Ethics vs ignorance.

 

They are crooks. Rationalization is a poor excuse.

 

No, you don't. You do, however, have the "right" to make your own decisions as to how you choose to spend your money. If you choose to make that decision based on "OMG, I gotta get that now before it goes away!" instead of doing even a minimum of research then that is your "right
