<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1935584, member: 26302"]There is nothing wrong with Littleton. THere I said it. I have even bought from them a couple of times. If you have "advanced knowledge" of numismatics, then most of their pricing will not interest you. Ok, that is fair and well and good. But, just because most of their stock is high versus others does not mean all of it is. I have bought things from them half of what anyone else charges. So, like any other source, know what you are doing, keep an open mind, and buy something if you like the price. </p><p><br /></p><p>People get all mad at Littleton and I just don't understand it. Down the street from me are two grocery stores, Kowalski's and Cub. Cub is a more traditional cheaper grocery store, pretty basic. Kowalski's is an upper end, pricey store. Yes, they have specialty stuff like fresh sushi, etc, but if you go there to buy a bottle of coke I bet you pay 50% or more than buying it at Cub. Do those same people who scream about Littleton scream about grocery stores like Kowalski's? Every store offers different levels of service and clientelle. I am not going to stand outside Kowalski's and scream at the store and call all of their customers freaking idiots just because they freely choose to shop their. Its their own business. Same with Littleton. They have their own clients, they produce expensive magazines to send to them, and they have their own price structure that people freely pay. I have never heard of Littleton misgrading coins on purpose, I have never heard of them cold calling elderly to try to force them to buy, they are simply the Kowalski's whereas others may prefer the Cub Foods. To each his own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
