<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bedford, post: 2192267, member: 4917&quot;]I think you may be overestimating how many modern dealers are out there buying up &quot;all&quot; that inventory from the mint.</p><p>&nbsp;The Kennedy gold had unlimited mintage so IMO that one is a moot point. But lets use the March of dimes set. Let&#039;s just say that there are 100 dealers who would buy those in bulk. Each one buys 200 sets (that&#039;s a lot of sets) = 20,000 sets (way over estimated IMO). There was a mintage of 75,000 sets so 55,000 regular collectors got their items . I wouldn&#039;t call that a monopoly by any means (heck add 10,000 more &amp; its still fine). </p><p>&nbsp;The others well ,they went to the people who make their living at this business &amp; I see nothing wrong with them making a market out of it. Dang, Capitalism is sweet!</p><p>&nbsp;Sure the dealers will each get xx amounts from their company &amp; employee buys but also large modern dealers make the market in those items &amp; send out &quot;wholesale buys&quot; on dealer forums like CCE or CoinNet. XXX dealers who have xx amounts of sets will in most cases wholesale out their inventory to the market makers of said product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
