<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 4507293, member: 89213"]The fast "sell-outs" with a new release doesn't necessarily mean that your general collector was a part of the sell-out. When there are limited purchase quantities large dealers will hire collectors to purchase the maximum quantity and the dealer has an agreement to purchase the extra coins. This gives the participating collector his set at a reduced cost. When the 2011 5 piece ASE set came out there was a household limit of 5 sets. I was communicating with a dealer and he had a photo of himself with hundreds of sets in the background. He flipped them fast and made a ton of money while they were hot. And, over time, they do cool off as something else comes along. It's good business but not what collectors should have to deal with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
