<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1484176, member: 19065"]I am aware of which thread this is, thank you very much. How are you helping when you say you have no point to make? Sure my comments belong here. I've watched the price as well and I'm commenting about what I see is a negative of 'watching the price, that is those posting prices about a given product, namely greater and greater prices achieved, without comment on lower prices as well. This action and focus has an unintended effect. It attracts the attention of others who will come to expect more than retail every time some new coins rolls out. It distorts demand and values for the hobbyist and ends up making everyone pay more. The Mint knows it goes on and they can keep justifying the retail price new products sell for. Suggesting the benefits of higher and higher prices realized in aftermarket auctions in the flip robs you each time. The profit you'd like to think you're making or would be making if you had the same opportunities dwindles each time these posts inspire more people to buy products anticipating this financial reward and so on as I stated. I'm sorry if you find my posts length tedious but there is more to this than posting a link and a line that only points to the rising prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
