<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2125574, member: 73983&quot;]I understand where your coming from.&nbsp; But at what point do we stop holding these people&#039;s hands?&nbsp; I know nothing about the art world.&nbsp; If I inherited some paintings, I would not be going to the local flea market and ask the guy selling artwork how much it&#039;s worth.&nbsp; I&#039;d take it into a gallery or museum that has been around a while and has a reputation.&nbsp; It&#039;s the same for people wanting to sell their gold.&nbsp; If they want to throw it into an envelope and wait for a check to show up, or drive around and see a yellow sign on a building next to a 7-11 and walk in and hand over their gold.&nbsp; That is their choice.&nbsp; It&#039;s because of people like that that these cash for gold places exist.&nbsp; I know some of them are fair on what they pay.&nbsp; Other&#039;s are the hairy white stuff growing on dog excrement.&nbsp; So shop it around before saying &quot;OK&quot;.&nbsp; Due your own due diligence.&nbsp; Why make it harder and far more expensive for an honest guy who want&#039;s to get started in the coin and precious metals business?&nbsp; All they are accomplishing is the death of commerce in that particular market place.&nbsp; If they want to truly make a difference, then set a revenue threshold.&nbsp; If you are buying and selling more than $1,000,000.00 (just an example) on an annual basis, then you are required to meet certain obligations to maintain your business.&nbsp; This would prevent some of the Tulving&#039;s and NW Territorial Mint&#039;s from popping up and running the scams they run.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a guy is standing on a corner holding a sign that says &quot;I buy cars&quot; and you stop and ask how much he would give you for your 2003 Toyota Camry and he replies &quot;$500.00&quot; and you accept that.&nbsp; Then your more in the wrong than the guy holding the sign.&nbsp; That&#039;s exactly what this is.&nbsp; If people educated themselves instead of whining, these guy&#039;s would disappear very quickly..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
