<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 149496, member: 3011&quot;]One of my character flaws is defending the underdog, so I&#039;ll jump in and defend the shop at home shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>Their audience isn&#039;t necessarily the collector base.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure that they know that collectors know that the coins can be obtained elsewhere for less, and they don&#039;t expect active knowledgeable collectors to buy from them.&nbsp; But if grandma needs a gift, a coin or mint set might be just what she is looking for; and buying on TV saves a shopping trip.&nbsp; Plus, she can have it mailed directly to the recipient on the other side of the country.&nbsp; There are also a lot of people who watch those shows who are physically unable to get out of the house to shop for gifts, and/or who are not computer literate.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it isn&#039;t 100% bad.&nbsp; It&#039;s like selling beer at the ballgame.&nbsp; Everyone knows it&#039;s overpriced, but it&#039;s there when and where you need it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
