<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7608027, member: 105098&quot;]If, let&#039;s speculate, the mint decided in June the bulk dealers can pick up their orders in June from distribution and have a nice day, while everyone else has to wait on shipping to happen in October....</p><p>Wold there still be this much defense over what&#039;s going on?</p><p><br /></p><p>Will those folks that bought 10 of each to flip the extras still want the 10 of each knowing the bulk dealers have a 4 month head start at the secondary market demand? </p><p>I&#039;m not saying it will happen, I am saying it CAN happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>Will opinions then change on what&#039;s going on here?</p><p><br /></p><p>In my eyes the mint is trying to do exactly what they did with the bullion and end direct to end user sales and stick preferred bulk dealers in the middle reducing the amount of customers they have to fulfill orders for or ship to.</p><p>&nbsp;We see the massive markup premiums on Eagles now. Something that wasn&#039;t supposed to happen, but ya know, supply and demand and the few are now holding the supply instead of everyone having equal access to it directly.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is what it is. I get the point of the original post and where the mint is headed by going the path they&#039;ve chosen. It&#039;s more than just a sell out item and website crashes. They are signalling pretty clearly that big guy money talks and little collectors, well you&#039;ll just have to go HSN, the coin vault or JM Bullion instead of the mint directly.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion it&#039;s a trial period for a switch over to &quot;preferred dealers&quot; to sell the products for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
