<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1752613, member: 28199&quot;]I have made several purchases to the tune of several hundred dollars from other places. Did I overpay for some coins. Sure. But I knew it going into the deal. I wanted the coin, and was willing to pay a little more for it, because I couldn&#039;t find it at a more convenient place.&nbsp; And, I could afford the asking price.&nbsp; I pay $2 each for President dollars at the local flea market.&nbsp; Because I want to complete the set.&nbsp; And I can&#039;t get them at the bank in the condition I want for face value.&nbsp; Same with the state quarters, at 75 cents apiece.&nbsp; I have no delusions that they will be worth any more than face value in ten years.&nbsp; But I have better things to do with my time than roll-hunt.&nbsp; And I have a desire to own the complete sets. So I&#039;m willing to pay for that convenience.&nbsp; He gets them from a guy who buys rolls and bags from the mint, for which he pays a small premium.&nbsp; Then he charges me a premium, so he can pay for his spot at the flea market, and make a little money.&nbsp; I happy and he&#039;s happy.&nbsp; This is exactly what Littleton does, only on a much larger scale.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They do not tout SBAs as investments.&nbsp; They market the coins.&nbsp; If you perceive them to be investments based on what you read in their advertising, it&#039;s not really Littleton&#039;s fault.&nbsp; But they are not a wholesaler, they are a retailer.&nbsp; You can&#039;t expect to buy anything form them and later turn a profit by reselling.&nbsp; You buy from them to fill holes and complete sets.&nbsp; No more, no less.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What they do is not illegal, nor is it immoral, so put away the torches. The biggest problem is most people</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><font size="5">READ THE BIG PRINT,</font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">then skim through the medium sized print,</font></b></p><p><font size="1">and completely skip the fine print.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not saying Littleton is the best deal.&nbsp; But for every &quot;horror&quot; story about someone getting ripped off, I&#039;m sure there is story about a customer who is pleased what they bought from them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
