<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WINS7, post: 24280, member: 1413&quot;]OOoooooo!!&nbsp; That hit&#039;s the nail so squarely on the head!&nbsp; It&#039;s so true of TV sales and Internet SPAM too, just to mention a couple of annoying things in our lives today!&nbsp; Another reason both are still alive and well is that the American public is lazy when it comes to making a purchase.&nbsp; They actually believe commercials on TV, that newspapers and TV News is unbiased, and that the email offer they received from someone in Liberia telling them they can share in millions is real.&nbsp; They prefer to take the easy route instead of taking the time to educate themselves, and it&#039;s so much easier to believe the sales pitch on HSN than to pick up a book and find out the truth.&nbsp; And they will always bite on a &quot;get rich quick&quot; schema.&nbsp; In this case, all the Internet has done is make it easier for them to make a purchase without any fuss about needing to possess knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>While it is an admirable goal to try educate the American buyer, whether they be a collector or not, you must understand.&nbsp; Most folks don&#039;t want your advice on what to spend their money on, regardless of how smart or qualified you are.&nbsp; It&#039;s their money, they made it, and by golly they&#039;ll spend it any they way they want to. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s sad, but the vast majority of the American public are like sheep.&nbsp; They want to be told how to think, how to vote and what to buy.&nbsp; Heaven forbid that they should take responsibility for their own actions or - shudder - learn something.&nbsp; That ended when they finaly got out of high school, right?&nbsp; They don&#039;t THINK for themselves anymore (if they ever did)!&nbsp; Ya&#039; know, there is no such thing as a cold, but every time the TV advertisements run telling them that it&#039;s flu and cold season, sales of those products skyrocket.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the only thing you&#039;ll get from beating your head against the wall is a sore head.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
