<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 2498407, member: 29643&quot;]You ignored the entire point of what I was saying that the reason supply doesn&#039;t exist is the lack of a market.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The part you quoted was my thoughts on the market collapsing once you were no longer the market maker. The coins are out there, but no one bothers to sell them, since the &quot;coin store&quot; owner offers them less than face value (usually out of laziness and lack of understanding of what is in the sets) with a $3 bid. If they were offered the prices the sets go for on eBay (which, in many cases, they &quot;don&#039;t understand how to use&quot;), they would likely be willing to part ways with their sets, thinking they &quot;made money&quot; (sell at $9, bought at $6.50 or w/e). There are those sets that were given away to grandkids or nieces and nephews, which have &quot;more sentimental value&quot; than the ask. *Those* sets might &quot;never be sold&quot; simply because the perception would be they&#039;re &quot;worth $50 or more.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The hoarders are likely getting close to the age where they start to die off. Within the next decade, a ton of these sets will be hitting the market (if they haven&#039;t already) in the form of kids or grandkids settling out estates of the hoarders.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins didn&#039;t go &quot;nowhere&quot; and were rarely used in commerce. They&#039;re out there, somewhere, and you only want less than 1% of the population. I&#039;m telling you, if you were sincere about this (and not merely being hypothetical), you could achieve your goal with some time (say two years), some money (say $200k) and some effort (not blanket over-bidding, but making a reasonable bid and paying a premium for premium coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
