<p>[QUOTE="justndav76, post: 1305990, member: 17428"]All the TV shows are pretty much jokes. HSN is a huge joke followed up by the Coin Vault, and finally Fine Coins with Barry Chappell. I find Barry and Rick Tomaska to probably be the more decent ones but, there again, they are still over-priced. I like Rick in that he sells high quality coins because I myself, am a half-dollar collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>All these places have overhead they have to pay for though, and as such, they have to sell things at a higher price. Ebay doesn't really have that- stuff just goes for whatever the market determines it to be worth plus a little shipping charge. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its funny to listen to the guys on Coin Vault selling something and then saying "shop us, you have thirty days and I challenge you to find a lower price." Funny thing is almost every time I can find what they are selling significantly lower right on ebay in a simple search. These shows, I fear, prey mainly on the elderly since they may not be able to readily use a computer, or be computer savy. Thus ordering from t.v. is just more quick and simple for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
