<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1309155, member: 19065"]That company has a lot of excuses for "running a business". They low ball offer the death out of any potentially hot new coin release. It irks me that they attempt to utilize people who will clog up phone and bandwidth lines on the day of release for a few bucks profit. This sort of pre-emptive approach to acquiring new inventory for their business is to the consternation of collectors getting shut-out from new coin releases. I can't understand how anyone would deal with these companies for such little return, especially when originally the company in question were only offering about $60 over the Mint's price to sellers who would buy for them on release day and then deliver to them their unopened sets. It pretty clear how much more money the sets were going to be worth based on their offer price and the mark up they will apply after they've had the coins graded and relisted to sell later. Even eBay pre-sales should have told people not to deal with these companies paying so little. That they make these offers with no flexibility for the customer interested in negotiating a sale really stinks. Moreover, it subverts the Mint's collector retail based sales for the individual. I hope people are more wise and don't sell out so easily to these companies and could realise that it does more harm than good to the individual collectors trying to get coins for their collections. Seems to me that the market valuations are skewed by speculation that a given new coin will do so well later on and would be more accurately valued on the secondary market without these players pushing hype and limiting availability to great a demand above the existing demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
