<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 8291, member: 941&quot;]Although I disagree with their methods and pricing strategies, I believe all in all, that I welcome the presence of the shows. They reach collectors that other dealers may not, and interest customers that may have never attended a show or contacted a dealer otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider this..</p><p><br /></p><p>A grandmother sees a sale on Morgan dollars on one of these shows and purchases one for each of her teenage grandchildren. Yes, she overpays, but she is happy with the transaction and provides the coins as gifts. The grandchildren know not from where the coins came, they simply open the gifts and as a result, become intensely interested in the numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would it have been better if the grandmother spoke with a reputable dealer offering fair prices and exceptional service, absolutely. But, would she have thought about purchasing these coins and adding four new individuals to the hobby had the show not been on television is the question to ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
