<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 797404, member: 21782&quot;]I understand your point and yes, &quot;The big guys&quot; had and still have some influence on the market, yet less so as the internet market develops.&nbsp; The big guys are in essence middlemen moving product to the ultimate consumer (the collector).&nbsp; With the internet, the person that bought the rolls from the bank/mint can sell directly to an enormous market of collectors - the middleman with his brick &amp; mortar shop is no longer needed.&nbsp; Everybody wins!&nbsp; New sellers are able to operate with less barriers to entry (big guys controlling the market, high overhead, limited inventory).&nbsp; Collectors have better choices, easier access to product, and more variety to choose from at lower prices.&nbsp; And well, the big guys, although some feel their grip on the market slipping (as it is), their options are to evolve and become part of the internet market, as some are doing, or fight the change and become dinosaurs.&nbsp; Of course this is my take based on what has already occurred.&nbsp; Will it continue into the future?&nbsp; Anything can happen, but I&#039;d guess the internet will continue to evolve and will be the future of retail, not only for coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
