<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 3969, member: 648&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; We should always strive to EDUCATE.&nbsp; I would much prefer buying from and selling to collectors that know what they are doing.&nbsp; One of the hardest things about this business is seeing someone with TV coins.&nbsp; How do you tell someone that they&#039;ve been hosed?&nbsp; It&#039;s not easy to sugarcoat it.&nbsp; And if I&#039;m not careful in how I speak to them I could come out looking like the bad guy!&nbsp; Not good.&nbsp; The best thing I can do is to be supportive of the hobby and advise them to join our local coin club, attend the many shows in our area, seek out ALL the local dealers and look at a LOT of coins.&nbsp; </p><p>The people who buy coins on TV are not seasoned collectors.&nbsp; They may THINK they&#039;re collectors, but we know they&#039;re not.&nbsp; And hopefully they&#039;ll realize sooner rather than later that Television coin sellers are not the way to buy coins.&nbsp; The TV customers sometimes become good collectors...I mean, we all start somewhere, right?&nbsp; Just remember...the TV shows don&#039;t target collectors...they target people who don&#039;t know the true value of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
