<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2193613, member: 36230"]Of course people paying top of the issue price would like to have gotten them cheaper; this is simple human nature. However, let's not forget that there are collectors out there who are willing to pay premiums for their time, meaning not to have to waste it screwing around trying to place an order when they could be doing something more personally beneficial or productive. Case in point: I had a client who often told me that he prefered to pay to acquire the coins he wanted than to have to spend his time chasing them down himself. His main reason was that he could earn more in the time it would take to do so than any premium he ended up paying, plus he had the added benefit (when applicable) of having a eye more trained than his doing it for him. Now this certainly isn't the case with everyone who buys on the secondary, but is worth taking into consideration before painting everyone taking that route with the same brush.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
