<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2540920, member: 17665&quot;]It&#039;s not just the elderly that get into these kind of predicaments. Littleton has been around since the 1940&#039;s. Even when I was a kid, I answered their ads in Boys Life Magazine and did business with them until I learned and did business elsewhere. The only good thing is that this happened to me in the 1960&#039;s. Those overpriced coins from back then appreciated nicely and I was not out of anything. The only good thing, still, about Littleton, is that they are accurate in their grading. Their albums are nice also, but I would not buy retail from them, instead I buy from Wizard Coin Supply at a nice discount. And those deals they still advertise as stated above are a good deal, but they are only for new customers. After you purchase a couple of these, they will send your money back and not sell to you again through these special offers. It IS another sad tale and that is why we are here, to steer folks in the right direction. And don&#039;t get me wrong, David Sundman is a respected businessman and runs a tight ship, but they do not need to charge these kind of prices. I&#039;m looking to stop by their company in a couple of weeks to see if they might give me a tour. It would be interesting to see just what kind of overhead they might be incurring there to possibly justify these prices. I can imagine that sending out coins on approval can get to be a losing proposition with people ordering a special offer that comes with other coins that they never have any intention of paying for. And I have no clue what kind of compensation they pay their employees. They also own Mystic Stamp Company which is a approval based company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
