<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2028067, member: 19463&quot;]The fact that you are continuing to patronize houses that do these things means that they are acceptable practices in your eyes.&nbsp; There are thousands of coins out there willing to compete for your collecting dollar but that are not in the hands of people who take the fun out of collecting.&nbsp; Buy them.&nbsp; If you have more money to spend than you can find coins to buy without the games, find a dealer/agent and tell him what you want.&nbsp; For an additional 5% or so you may enjoy participating in the sales more.&nbsp; I only used an agent once but that was a foreign sale where I really wanted the coins, where I knew my agent was attending anyway and where I did not trust the seller to value my little bids since he would have so many high rollers participating.&nbsp; I won several lots at under my maximum bid.&nbsp; If I were planning on buying things in the 4+ digit bracket, I would let someone play for me - someone who knows the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
