<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3295338, member: 16729&quot;]Yep.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard from a coin dealer that people will come into the shop to try to sell their parent&#039;s/grandparent&#039;s coin collection bought from these TV infomercials (with the receipts), and the dealer has to tell the family just how much the stuff is NOT worth!&nbsp;&nbsp; People can get a little angry when they hear this... but then they go to several other locations and find out the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is ignorance.&nbsp; And yes, we &quot;cannot legislate stupidity out of people.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this:&nbsp; Which of these do we want?</p><p>:&nbsp; </p><p>1)Do we want a market environment where the consumer has to do their own research (buyer beware) and businesses are not impeded in their legal-but-unethical scamming of our elderly? or </p><p>2) Do we want better consumer protection in the form of mandatory disclaimers or some sort of Public Service Announcements?&nbsp; </p><p>3) Or is the current system of consumer protection enough?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
