<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 476137, member: 16060&quot;]TV coin sales has been talked about several times at various different forums.&nbsp; Most collectors put them down.&nbsp; If you have two used cars for sale one from a dealer and one from a private person or used car lot, a lot of people will buy from the dealer due to trust or thinking it is a better car even though the most expensive.&nbsp; It has also been discussed several times they bring new collectors into the hobby. I doubt anyone taking coin collecting seriously would continue in the hobby paying their prices.&nbsp; I do almost admire sometimes the way they will present a collection, I think it is well done especially on HSN.&nbsp; Both are very good at making it sound as though there is a limited amount or rareity involved.&nbsp; The price quote HSN uses &quot;from a leading coin catalog&quot; to illustrate what a bargain the buyer would be getting amazes me.&nbsp; I can only think a MS-70 price is the price being quoted.&nbsp; If people want to pay these prices and feel comfortable or safe buying from them it&#039;s their money.&nbsp; What I really don&#039;t like about the show are the &quot;hosts&quot;.&nbsp; They know little to nothing about the coins, but go on and on about what a great deal, buy while they last, and etc.&nbsp; After saying all this I admit I enjoy watching the shows, I just won&#039;t pay their prices.&nbsp; As for Robert Chambers he must be doing something right.&nbsp; He&#039;s been doing it for over twenty years.&nbsp; Maybe we (including myself) are too critical of them.&nbsp; The bottom line is they do sell a tremendous amount of coins at prices most people who sell coins would do so if they got the opportunity to do the exact same thing.&nbsp; If you watch sit back and enjoy.&nbsp; If they are selling a coin like one you have you&#039;ll now know what your coin will be worth in about five years if the market stays strong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
