Message:: [QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 950008, member: 307"]entertaining, sometimes funny, but unfortunately, I think that the biggest majority of their (Meszack's) audience is people like us who watch to be entertained and have no intention of buying. I think that the shows days are numbered. The Coin Vault web casted their shows over and over again on their site until just a week or so ago. I watched all the time, but I never bought a thing. Personally, I think that their running out of dupes that will buy what they are offering. Unlike most tv shows, mere viewers are not enough for them. Sales drive everything. I think it's why we have seen a few items like GSA Morgans on those shows lately. Unfamiliar items (for most) that command a bit more of a premium than plated quarters that they can mark way up without drawing too many raised eyebrows. If they can work in right underneath the radar and sell you 85 or 90 of them at a $100 profit each, then it's a success. They do the same thing with the ANACS graded FDOI gold , cents and quarters. Take an item with virtually no existing marketplace, overprice it, hype it as the "next big thing", and sell it to people who really don't know about coins. That's a formula that has been working for years. Unfortunately, the pool becomes smaller every time you sell one to someone who asks someone knowledgeable about their purchase.[/QUOTE]
