<p>[QUOTE=&quot;berneck1, post: 1897176, member: 24201&quot;]Well, I agree with just about everything you said, and I do like your approach to the hobby/business.&nbsp; However, disagree about the Mint.&nbsp; We as tax payers have a responsibility to complain/protest about these things.&nbsp; While they may be one of the few government entities that do make money, it does not mean they should be squandering that money like every other government agency does.&nbsp; The fact that I have three US Mint bags, that I didn&#039;t even order, coming to me via two-day shipping is a colossal waste of money, supplies and time.&nbsp; Not to mention, only lines the pockets of these third party vendors.&nbsp; We need to protest these inefficiencies at all levels of government.&nbsp; There is a reason we are in such a mess in this country, and it&#039;s due in part to people&#039;s lack of interest to really hold our government responsible for these things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also understand your logic about the limits; most issues never sell out in the first day.&nbsp; However, I feel if they set a consistent limit for ALL new issues on the first day or two it keeps things consistent, and gives the average person a chance to purchase them.&nbsp; It also sets expectations, and helps with the online ordering fiascos.&nbsp; You&#039;re right that in many cases it&#039;s not needed, but it eliminates, or at least reduces, the possible corruption behind it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of my solutions might not be the best approach, but bottom line is, they CAN do a much better job, and we should demand it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the political rant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
