[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1338872, member: 26302"]That coin ad that introduced you to this hobby was an expensive piece of advertising. Something unaffordable to dealers who sell closer to the bone. I have posted about Littleton before, and people think I work for them or something. :( The point is, Littleton and tv sellers are REAL retail. They reach out to non-collectors and inttroduce coins to them. This way of reaching out is EXPENSIVE, and someone has to pay the costs. Its like any other product on tv, if you knwo where to buy it wholesale you would NEVER buy from them, but someone who does not know how to buy wholesale pays the price. Like Copperhead correctly points out, lots of people are collectors today because of them. Do I wish collectors to buy many coins from them? No, same as with tv shows.
