<p>[QUOTE="Speedbump, post: 3022906, member: 75637"]What they don't need is volume buyers that return millions of dollars of product each year. One volume buyer like MCM or SilverTowne will return more than 1,000's of small buyers combined. The mint does not survive on volume buyers. They are better off selling to someone that is not going to return something just because it wont grade 70 or because the immediate secondary flipping market didn't materialize for the 1,000's of whatever they just bought. Denying returns to a small handful of large volume buyers would likely eliminate most of their returns each year saving huge amounts of money. They would need to cut off 1,000's of other buyers to accomplish the same things. How well would that go over? If this means volume buyers buy less, awesome. That means the mint will just make less. Special mint issues will actually be special and not just something to sit in inventory in larger dealer warehouses.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the mint needed large volume buyers so badly, they would just become a whole sale manufacturer like they are with bullion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
