<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 544260, member: 15199&quot;]I think the poll on the economics of coin exchange will be interesting, but like the effects on the secondary market associated with a possible auto company failure, I would like to see a similar poll directed to such as</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Will you continue, increase, or decrease spending on coin magazines, newspapers, CDN, and memberships such as CONECA, ANA, etc.?</p><p><br /></p><p>1a. If publications were to become entirely online, would you continue to subscribe? </p><p><br /></p><p>2. If you use TPG services, will you continue to do so less, more, same?</p><p>2a. Would you switch services from one you normally use if prices stay the same?</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Will you take place in auctions same, less, more?</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Will you continue to buy supplies same, less ,more?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the collectible market for the lower , middle range of collectors has contracted already. Many do not realize how or if the associated areas are going to be affected. I feel that this economy is just beginning its problem. Here in my county with near 25% unemployment, the &quot;trickle down effect&quot; has become a flood with many chain and non-chain stores closing or reducing offerings and service. The ones begging have even started walking between lines of cars at a stoplight to ask for assistance. I have never seen that here in our rural area. Best of luck to all, I surely count my blessing, even with big losses to my retirement nest egg.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
