<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1291899, member: 19423"]I only skimmed over this thread as I see the topic is getting a little away from the title... but I did see a few folks mentioning that they thought it should have been a 1 per household offering initially. At first, I thought the same thing would be more fair to the collectors who really just wanted one set. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, after thinking about it some more, I don't think that would have changed much at all. For example, the dealers who wanted to get 25 sets would just have to find more friends/family to order on their behalf... then you'd have 25 people instead of only 5 clogging up the Mint website and phone lines. The dealers that wanted 100 sets, would have 100 people logging in and calling in instead of just 20. Sure, it would have taken a little bit longer for the 100,000 sets to sell out, but given the demand for this set it would have been just as hard to get through to order, if not harder to get through given that more people would have been trying, and you'd still have people upset they didn't get through to get a set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
