<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catman, post: 30530, member: 1979&quot;]<b>High Priced Coins</b></p><p><br /></p><p>These T.V. people have been doing this for a long time. How do they justify the prices? <b>Marketing Costs</b> . The T.V. space alone is a bunch let alone the banks of phone operators, flyers, and other places they sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; A coin dealer can pay from about $300.00 to $1500.00 for a 8 foot table at a show. They have 3 days of sale time to recoup their expenses. Add to this hotel space, meals, and travel expenses. What&#039;s different between these dealers and the T.V. boys. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The show dealers know that the people coming in are collectors or are interested in the coin hobby. They are more likely to spend more money because of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The T.V. boys don&#039;t have this adbantage. They are trying to market to every Tom, Dick and Harry. They know that a seasoned collector is not going to buy from them. Regardless....They still have to cover their expenses plus make a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I don&#039;t endose this type of sales promotion. However I really wonder if it helps or hurts our hobby. We always hear of how bad it is for us and how people are getting ripped off.......</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Let&#039;s see if anyone here can come up with ideas about how this T.V. coin marketing can&nbsp; <b>HELP</b> our hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>catman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
