<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1050475, member: 66"]And exactly how should they "not allow" them to sell at this ridiculous markup. Once the Mint sells the coins they don't belong to them anymore, and a person or company that owns an item can legally ask anything they want for it. It's called free enterprise. I really don't want to se th government stepping in and setting the prices in the secondary market. Apparently at least right now the secondary market is supporting the $1400 price, would you want the Mint to sell the coins to the distributors an then tell them they can't sell them for more than $180 and then the buyer are able to get the $1400? Hardly fair, so maybe the government should pass legislation that no one may sell a coin for more than 5% more they paid for it. Or maybe since the market is supporting the $1400 price the mint should sell them to the distributor for $1300. That way the distributors aren't "ripping you off".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
