<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1503643, member: 37839&quot;]This whole argument has degenerated into nonsense--first, questioning the business model is total insanity.&nbsp; TPGs and CAC are making money hand over fist, as are sellers who sell these coins.&nbsp; So it cannot possibly be the &quot;business model&quot; that is faulty--it is one&#039;s attitude to the business model that one might have that contradicts use of the services, and call into question the process.&nbsp; To question the business model is just beyond naive--TPGs (love them or hate them) have provided a tremendous and mutually lucrative coin market for buyers and sellers alike.&nbsp; CAC has added to that market, and that is hardly a &quot;bad business model.&quot;&nbsp; You may not like that scenario, and not want to participate in it, but to question its legitimacy as a business and to disparage it is really silly and immature.&nbsp; Don&#039;t like it?&nbsp; Don&#039;t use it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like Chevrolets, so I don&#039;t buy them.&nbsp; However, that isn&#039;t denigrating a working market, as lots of folks do love Chevies.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is a personal objection, just as this whole TPG/CAC rant has become.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;Lazy Collector&quot; remark was insensitive, and probably not applicable to most of the dedicated and sincere collectors here.&nbsp; I know it doesn&#039;t apply in my case, as I do my homework.&nbsp; If I choose to believe in the validity of TPGS and 4th party endorsements of same, that doesn&#039;t make me a lazy or inept collector--once again, that is just bias talking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
