[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2226506, member: 66"]Not really because MCM and Silvertowne would also be on that long term customer list. In fact that would actually create the "Big dealers get first crack at the new mint products before the little guy." situation that the conspiracy theorists think exists now. They are also BUYING those limited coins frrom hundreds if not thousands of collectors who get sets (and who also game the system just so they can sell them.) Only way to "fix" it is to pass laws making it illegal to sell the coins for more than mint issue price. It wouldn't be profitable then for them to try and acquire large numbers of coins. Of course it would also guarantee that the aftermarket price any collector could get for their coins would be less than they paid for them. Oh and in the case of the ebay pre-sales if they can't deliver within 30 days they are required to give a full refund.[/QUOTE]
