[QUOTE="Restitutor, post: 4798528, member: 112621"]My [B]opinion[/B]: I don’t like it one bit. As a hobbyist who isn’t even a millionaire, the market is competitive enough going against the big dog millionaire and billionaire individual collectors! I wish auction houses were somehow able to prevent resellers from buying, or at least have auctions where they were, and weren’t allowed explicitly stated. That way hobbyists would know what they were dealing with. I think it’s a moral question for me at least; I couldn’t find peace in preventing the person on the other side of the screen from enjoying a coin I knew I was just going to flip for a profit. I encounter this same situation in two other hobbies: sneakers and LEGO. One wonders if this is why CNG removed screen-names from their electronic auction? To hide dealers? Let me caveat by saying however, I have no problem with dealers/resellers buying coins no one else bids on :)[/QUOTE]
