<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2653188, member: 36230&quot;]I&#039;m sorry, but this has to be one of the most ridiculous posts here in a long time (and considering where we are, that&#039;s saying a lot). To seriously suggest any retail purchase where the buyer cannot turn around, sell wholesale, and recoup their entire investment a &quot;ripoff&quot; is just mind boggling. I can&#039;t help but to wonder what world you live in as it&#039;s clearly not the real one, be it with coins or most anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are more than welcome to live in an entitled bubble if that&#039;s what suits you, but you&#039;re promoting utter crap that&#039;s downright dangerous to collectors as a whole, but particularly to new ones who may not understand how ludicrous your claim/position is. The FACT is a good dealer can be an invaluable asset, especially for those who cannot or will not take the time to learn for themselves, but also for those who do/can. Dealers also often have connections the average collector doesn&#039;t, and more often than not all one needs to do is compare the collections of the average eBay &quot;I don&#039;t pay retail&quot; deal seeker to someone utilizing the services of a good dealer to understand the added value one can offer. The world doesn&#039;t exist to coddle those who demand everything go their way, nor can one reasonably expect people not to be paid for providing a valuable service simply because you don&#039;t like it. While there certainly are bad dealers out there, most are not and many are upstanding. If they wish to be paid for what often is a lifetime of study and providing said valuable service, so be it and as long as reasonable, they deserve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>All things considered, sir; perhaps that &quot;BS detector&quot; needs an upgrade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
