<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2192214, member: 26302"]I like you sir, but I have to ask. Doesn't it bother you to intentionally counteract mint rules that were meant to allow more collectors to obtain coins? I mean, 5 per household might not be a great rule, but its SOME rule. Why did they institute this rule? To allow more individual collectors to obtain these coins direct from the mint. Now dealers come along and hire people to buy for them, DIRECTLY going against the intent of having a limit at all. I am just curious how someone who hires people to buy more coins than allowed, thereby making sellouts much quicker than they otherwise would be, can with a straight face tell someone, "just order them like me". If all of the dealers and others like you could not order more than 5 total, I am sure this set could have been purchased for at least a few days, at least. I know you only ordered 20, and MCM probably ordered hundreds, but its the same point. Both of you INTENTIONALLY subverted the very limits that the mint put in place to try to allow the OP to be able to buy these coins, and for you or MCM to tell someone to "stop complaining" seems disingenuous. He is complaining precisely BECAUSE of this behavior, and how it screwed him out of being able to buy direct from the mint.</p><p> </p><p>Btw, why can't the mint simply make all products limit 1 per household for the initial releases? Let everyone have a chance to buy one at least for a week before opening up orders to dealers? Its pretty self explanatory to me, the only reason not to would be to generate "buzz" about quick sellouts. I believe that is the real answer, further proof the mint cares more about themselves and large dealers than true collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Btw, why can't the mint simply make all products limit 1 per household for the initial releases? Let everyone have a chance to buy one at least for a week before opening up orders to dealers? Its pretty self explanatory to me, the only reason not to would be to generate "buzz" about quick sellouts.
