<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 9915, member: 112"]The best reason there is for keeping a buyer's identity secret is simple - security. Say you want to bid on a coin that cost $1,000 - or $5,000 - do you want everybody in the free world to know that you are buying such coins ? For if they do - you might have a visitor at your home one day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And since I've actually had that happen to me - a robbery of my collection - I can tell you it's no dang fun <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I was one of the lucky ones.
