<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2531248, member: 20480&quot;]Simplistically, yes.&nbsp; Realistically, no, and here&#039;s why.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have preconditioned responses unfairly, because cost, for one example, is not equal between all services.&nbsp; Thus, you could ask the following question . . . &quot;All other factors being equal, is lowest cost most important?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, knowing that all services do not grade coins to exactly the same standard, you could ask the the following 2 questions, &quot;All other factors being equal, is most conservative grading most important?&quot;, and&nbsp; &quot;All other factors being equal, is least conservative grading most important?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The list could go on . . . </p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, by limiting the responses to considering only one element of the TPGs value proposition, you have skewed the results of your inquiry.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, if I had to pick one factor that should be equal among all TPG&#039;s it obviously would be the grading standard . . . a lofty goal, as grading is subjective.&nbsp; Aside from that and Customer Service, all other factors are numerically quantifiable, and easiest to hold constant with one&#039;s competitors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t entirely disagree with you . . . just the way you posited your argument.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think the TPG&#039;s need to work a deal with one of the big 3 shippers . . . UPS / FEDEX / USPS just like eBay has done to reign in shipping cost, improve security of shipment and expedite delivery.&nbsp; There&#039;s probably a worthwhile chunk of business there to leverage in pursuit of a special account.&nbsp; Were I an executive at the TPGs, I&#039;d be looking into ways to simplify building the cost of shipment into the cost of the product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
