<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4802552, member: 51347&quot;]Curious, if various individuals are SO upset with the Auction Format, why do you buy from them?&nbsp; There are several other channels of distribution of Ancient Coins in this industry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always told people, and I stated it before:&nbsp; Vote with your feet.&nbsp; If you do not like the venue, buy from other sources.&nbsp; It is actually the most POWERFUL means to change things.&nbsp; If everyone said that they could not afford the Auction Format for buying their coins, they will go elsewhere to buy.&nbsp; This would either drive the Auctions out of business, or it would force them to change their format.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again:&nbsp; Market Dynamics drive the most efficient means of delivering goods to a market.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>No government controls needed, just decisions made by informed consumers.&nbsp;&nbsp; And before any more conspiracy speak about &quot;informed consumer&quot;, that needs only be defined as &quot;Gosh, THAT price is too expensive for that Coin.&nbsp; I think I will go ELSEWHERE to buy my Coin.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line:&nbsp; Why is everyone griping about the Auction Format, when there are SO MANY other means of buying Ancient Coins???</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is SO bad, then perhaps you need to put your money into alternative goods, such as another hobby, food for starving children, donations to needy people.&nbsp; These are excellent alternatives to folks busy thinking there will be mass revolts, if Auctions are not fixed to 20% profit, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
