<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 3062702, member: 42727&quot;]My first thought after reading this paragraph is no, no, no, no.&nbsp; In my mind, there are so many reasons not to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There have always been criminals and there will always be criminals.&nbsp; No matter what laws, oversights, etc. you put into place, you can&#039;t safe guard/insulate people from unscrupulous people.&nbsp; Never going to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way to protect yourself in this hobby is to educate yourself.&nbsp; I would say this is also true for life in general, but I digress.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also can&#039;t protect people from themselves. Go read the &quot;what&#039;s it worth&quot; threads.&nbsp; There are so many people that only are concerned with getting rich.&nbsp; You cannot protect them.&nbsp; They&#039;re looking to &quot;strike gold&quot;.&nbsp; They take no time to learn, they just want to flip some supposed rare find and collect their supposed riches. There &quot;blinded&quot; and easily swayed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once a business loses their customers trust, it&#039;s over.&nbsp; The top TPG&#039;s are very aware of this and while you might not like the fact they holder problem coins or market labels/signatures on bullion coins, in general, they provide a valuable service to the hobby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Why do you want to create a &quot;star chamber&quot; of experts who get to decide &quot;all&quot;?&nbsp; This can only lead to corruption.&nbsp; Plus, who&#039;s going to pay them?&nbsp; Once they have the power, than what will you have to pay to get their blessing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Free markets even the playing field.&nbsp; I have many more thoughts on this, but I don&#039;t want to write more of a novel than I already have so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
