<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 832943, member: 6370"]You can force your garbage in front of people and irritate them, this wont get them to use your service...Advertising is only good, in the end, if it drives revenue to you. Otherwise you are are jusr a well known company that went out of business. This seems only to be trying to attract peoples whose sole purpose is to slab every coin made, hike the price and attempt to make a profit off collectors.</p><p> </p><p>Which is good IMO because I don't want more waves of collectors taking up this hobby. I might be alone in this but the way I see it is the more people who flood into this hobby, the more competition there will be for coins and prices will rise for choice coins. I have never understood why a collector would want to attract others into the hobby...sellers...that's obvious...but as a collector, the fewer people out there bidding on the coins I want, the better. So maybe this will drive people away...or if nothing else, it will only create collectors who are in it to cash in, people whose interest is only monetary and who are completely dependant on the slab and the price hike they try to justify...in this case I wouldn't be competing with this type of person anyway. A slab means nothing to me and if they are going to try to pawn off something at ridiculous prices because its in a slab with a subjective grade on it, they would never get my business. The concept is not new, maybe trying to recruit people to do it is...there are plenty of people already out there slabbing anything they can get their hands on and hiking prices for the effort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
