[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1252217, member: 27043"]I really don't get the "problem" here. All that's happened is demand/interest/availability have changed. Your 1879 Lower Elbonian Double Vulture in AU55 is still out there...it just isn't traded as often. Interest not being as high, maybe you can find a good deal on it. On the other hand, a bunch of your hole fillers have recently become just as valuable as higher grade examples were just a few years ago. Trade up! Finally...why are we whining about ANYTHING that keeps our LCS in business? Do you honestly suggest that they have some "obligation" to you to pursue a business model that isn't profitable? It's in OUR BEST INTEREST that the LCS remain open and thriving through good times and bad. If you know your LCS is honest and fair...then tell "the public" about it! "Yeah...Bob'll give you a fair price on your silver!". Traffic in Bob's shop is GOOD FOR BOB...and thus, it's GOOD FOR YOU and GOOD FOR OUR HOBBY. Sorry if the traffic isn't the kind YOU want. Use this shift in focus to shift YOUR focus, and learn new ways to wheel, deal, buy, trade, acquire, and enjoy.[/QUOTE]
