It is a new world and the internet has revolusionized coins just as much today as tpg's did at their inception. No one cares about my cost to provide services I deliver and in a free market why should I care if you the dealer can or cannot make a living. All I want as a retail buyer is the best coin for the best price. And with the internet combined with pictures, tpg's and a return policy you the dealer are basically now competing for my money with every collector and every coin dealer selling any coins I might be interested in. So I don't have to be ok selling anyone my coins for less. Yes you may have some esoteric coin best sold to a dealer but for the 99% other coins I wager the internet and auction companies will offer more. This is just how this collector sees the world. But I'm a minor league player so take it for what it is worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
