<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2820263, member: 112&quot;]Cal, do you know why the auction houses are successful ? It&#039;s because that&#039;s what people want. And they are willing to pay to get what they want. </p><p><br /></p><p>People don&#039;t want to mess with all the time and work and effort it takes to be able to buy and sell the coins they want to buy and sell as private individuals. They want 1 stop shopping. They want 1 place where they can ship their coins to and say - here, take of this for me. Or, 1 place they can go to and find what they want to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, just like it is with all aspects of the coin hobby we, the collectors, are the ones who dictate what happens and how things are done. That is because we are the ones with the money, and the ones with the money are the ones in control. Even if they don&#039;t know or realize that they are the ones in control. We ask for things we want and the auction houses and the TPGs and the coin dealers, even the coin magazines - they all give it to us.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real problem is not the companies, the real problem is us. We ask for the wrong things. And we get it because we are the ones with the money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
