[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 133427, member: 2146"]Please allow me to play Devil's Advocate for a moment... When it comes right down to it, people are going to buy SGS slabbed coins anyway. When they attempt to sell them, they'll find out the mistake they made. This happens every day and in every aspect of life. For instance, in 2002, I bought a new Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 truck. Many people told me not to buy the thing for various reasons: Overpriced... poor build quality... cheap parts, etc. Nevertheless, I bought it. I learned my sad mistake when the thing started falling apart. I sold it and lost quite a bit of money in the transaction. In 2003, I bought a new Chrysler PT Cruiser... Of course, everyone told me that it was the worst thing I could have bought (again for various reasons). The PT Cruiser is the best vehicle I've owned since I was 16 years old (I'm 45 now). It's never been in the shop for any mechanical failures. I love that car. The point I'm trying to make is this: People are going to do what they want to do. You can try to encourage them otherwise, but for the most part, you may as well be talking to a brick wall. There's an old motto and it still holds true today: Live and learn. If people want to buy SGS coins, they will continue to do so. There's enough information available for people to research concerning SGS. If they still decide to buy, well.... let the buyer beware. Besides, who is to say that some people aren't perfectly happy with their SGS purchases? Personally, I know what's going on with SGS and I choose not to buy from them. But, if you find a coin you like, who am I to stop you? Once you put your hand in the fire, I doubt you'll do it a second time...[/QUOTE]
