However this type of thinking is why some people cannot understand how internet based collectors can exist therefore they are dismissed and things like ANA membership, Magazine subscriptions, show attendance are used to show a "decline". Those things are dying for sure, and I will make a bold prediction that by 2030 the ANA will be almost entirely irrelevant because of the internet. The next wave of collectors don't care about paying for information they can get for free from online resources.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reality is its actually much easier to get scammed in person. You're already online it takes 2 minutes to look up whatever you want while buying not just listening to sales pitches and hoping you remember right. You actually have more protection online from the electronic payments. You hand a guy cash at a store or a show and good luck ever getting that back from a scam[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
