<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 2497845, member: 29643&quot;]You missed my point, in that case. I&#039;m saying the supply is thin due to the LACK of a market. You&#039;re saying demand is thin due to the lack of a market. If you create a market for the coins, the supply will increase, as dealers will be willing to acquire these from collectors for more than face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the best way to explain this is a velocity driven equation...</p><p><br /></p><p>In a scenario where supply is thin due to a lack of market:</p><p><br /></p><p>ΔM =&gt; ΔS, where M is the size of the market, and S is the velocity of supply growth</p><p><br /></p><p>So, as your market increases, so too will the speed at which the supply grows.</p><p>As your market decreases, the speed at which supply grows will also decrease.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you start offering bids, you start to develop the perception of a market. Initially, the supply will be scarce, until dealers start to believe a market is actually formed, then supply will be released in great quantities. Once a market is established, supply becomes steady enough to maintain demand. If the market is short-term (you&#039;re the sole buyer), then the market will collapse once you start buying, and dealers will stop buying. Eventually, they&#039;ll start marking down prices, taking losses on their inventory or they&#039;ll be forced to close and liquidate anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
