<p>[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 1169444, member: 10387"]I am sure if you purchased millions of dollars worth of bullion, in large easy to ship boxes they would charge you the same as the distributors. Unfortunately, someone needs to take time to break down the big boxes, put into many many smaller boxes, and pay shipping that is much higher (per the value in the box) to get the coin to you...not to mention the cost of employees, the building, and more that is necessary to make it all happen. There are reasons the distribution system exists....trust me, if the mint sold to you the price would be much higher than the distributor selling to you....look at the markup on coins from the mint, it is much higher. </p><p> </p><p>Keep the government where it belongs...don't let them be involved in markets....price too high, don't buy...when the mass does that it is a drop in demand and pricing will drop accordingly. Let the market decide the price, not the government.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
