<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2691078, member: 15588&quot;]Littleton&#039;s ingenious marketing pulled me in at least once back in my more impulsive days. I forget what the impulse offer was, perhaps an entire set of steel pennies or 40% silver Kennedys or who knows what? In any case, they offered some cool little thing at an extremely low price on the condition that you accept future coins &quot;on approval.&quot; I received my little impulse product, which cost $1.99 or some insignificant amount, and remember thinking &quot;cool!&quot; Then the first &quot;approval&quot; order came and it included some fairly worn coins at what seemed like high premiums. I wasn&#039;t interested in any of them. I sent them all back with a note saying that &quot;I don&#039;t collect anything under XF&quot; and I never heard from them again. So they at least didn&#039;t harass me afterwards and I don&#039;t remember receiving anything else from them. In retrospect, they fulfilled their part of the agreement and I fulfilled mine. So it seemed to have gone well. At the time, I felt manipulated since their cheap impulse product led directly to overpriced coins. But I didn&#039;t <i>have to</i> buy them. And I didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;m pretty sure I bought a steel cent set from them. I have a little black clip display case with the P, D and S steel pennies in it and I always wondered where it came from. Now I&#039;m pretty sure it came from Littleton.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
