It happens with every product, every day. Coins are no different. This is why I do not begrudge any dealer their markup. Those who have come to Cointalk have simply become better shoppers and know that TV shows are a high cost source of obtaining coins. But, same is true of most stuff being sold on HSN and QVC, and I do not see anyone up in arms about their overpriced jewelry and consumer goods. Trust me, everything sold by those entities can be purchased cheaper elsewhere. People pay a price for convenience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
