<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 397446, member: 5629&quot;]Just a correction, this would apply mostly to corporations (which the TPGs mostly are), which are effectively entities of the State, and thus have an inherent obligation to make their stockholders&#039; investment prosperously return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other forms of business entities, especially sole proprietorships, are more free to integrate a rule and sense of ethics and morals in conducting their business.&nbsp; Many of the older brick and mortar coin dealerships were this way.&nbsp; For certain purposes, including liability, many of today&#039;s coin dealers will incorporate, but there&#039;s no law stating that you must, nor that you must even take &quot;your&quot; company public.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it is this fact that attracts me more to a knowledgeable independent dealer who has a proven record of integrity and scruples over some corporation&#039;s plastic.&nbsp; Yes, individual dealers are in the &quot;game&quot; to make money, and pay bills, but they are more free to interject their individual ethics to protect their reputation.&nbsp; A publicly owned corporation must by law put their stock holders&#039; desire and greed before any sense of ethic and scruple.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why, not just in dealing with a large corporation like PCGS or NCG, but with any business, get it in writing.&nbsp; When dealing with any business entity, you either play by their rules, or chance losing the game.&nbsp; The OP decided not to play by &quot;their rules&quot;.&nbsp; No TPG is under any obligation to change the rules for anybody regardless of how much business that individual brings them, unless their &quot;bosses&quot;, the stockholders, vote otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
