Anybody ever pay $30 for a 1976 Proof Set???

I was watching the coin show thingy on tv and almost had a coronary from laughing so hard. I mean a 1958 proof set run for a thousand bucks. I think bid is somewhere around $500, I don't even think they were including the 92-02 silver sets. He even said the 95 set was a $200 set. But best of all I like his statement saying that if one of the Franklins graded just PR68..."the rest of the coins are free." What??? You have got to be kidding me. Do people actually buy from these shows? (rhetorical) I understand they have a huge overhead to cover but come on...$30 for a $8 set and $200 for a $35 set. Maybe I should call them up and offer them my PCGS PR68 Franklins at $500 a piece, and say, well you can double your money.

sheesh

obviously the people watching and buying on TV don't have PC's to get to this site!! what i find ironic about that is that here i am and i don't have cable. along with what i tell people is the last rotary phone in the county! i'll add as a disclaimer that i have a television just to watch VHS and i am the proud owner of a digital cordless answering machine. hey, i'm retro but i'm not primitive!!

Consider this an opportunity! They have to buy the stuff from somebody.

Saw this one. My favorite part, and honest to God, he said it, was when the midget sidekick was discussing the impact of the SQ program and popped off with "Since there are 300 million new collectors in this country."

I watched the other night and the canival barker kept saying their Morgan dollars contained one full ounce of pure silver!

And believe me they don't pay much. I know a dealer that sells to them. You're not going to get rich selling to them. They will pay less than other dealers since they will by major amounts of a given item.
