<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8613444, member: 24754&quot;]Agreed. But I did specify &quot;cost of the wax&quot;, not &quot;cost of having waxed&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, paying more to have somebody wax your car would only make sense under a few conditions:</p><p>- You are paying somebody with more expertise to do a better job, or</p><p>- You are being charged more because the service provider knows that they can get more money out of you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using this analogy for the TPG situation, this would amount to:</p><p>- Providing better service for those that can pay (and lesser service for the rest of us)</p><p>- Charging rich people more money, simply because they can</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither one of those sit well with me. What would &quot;better service&quot; even be in this case? Either way, you send a coin to them and it comes back in a slab with grade information...... it&#039;s the same thing. And, wrenching more money out of people just because you can...... That&#039;s not a valid justification.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see charging more when the company actually incurs more costs, like being more careful and taking more time with expensive coins, or purchasing insurance, etc. But in the extreme cases, like having a $1M ancient coin graded by NGC, the cost would be over $20,400 in comparison to the $45 base rate. Is the company incurring over 450 times the costs for one coin verses the other? I&#039;m gonna go out on a limb and say no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
