[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2039721, member: 19065"]Well, the Mint profits first and foremost off consumers (collectors) who think they are going to flip for easy profits, or exploiting less informed or overly eager buyers in online auction venues. I may again and have in the past resold Mint products but if I get inferior products from the Mint I don't exploit buyers, I ship them back to the Mint. Whether or not the Mint sends out their sloppy seconds or not remains to be proven. They don't catch many scratched and milk spot stained coins, and that level of QC is not part of the Mint's MO neither. Assuming you can resell some coins for a premium to aftermarket buyers who are more informed, they may well return the coins to you or avoid bidding on them entirely leaving you holding the bag if they detect such quality or motives to profit.[/QUOTE]
