Just caught a few minutes of the "Classic Collection" offered by pudgy fingers. Some highlights:
50 (yes! a whole roll) of Indian Head Cents $89.95 plus $6.90 S&H (grade VG and up - the one they showed was a G)
40 (yes! a whole roll) of Buffaloes $39.95 plus $6.90 S&H ("minimum catalog price is $4.00 per coin")
120 (yes! 3 whole rolls) of Buffaloes $99.95 plus $6.90 S&H (you'd pay at least $480 for these if you bought them individually" see above....)
etc., etc. BS BS BS, etc. etc.
Want the phone number?

devices. He has twice talked about it now without mention that it's not legal tender.
when people are trying to sell coins. Then he went on to say that gold eagles of 2001 are the rarest
coins of all!
He left the million dollar bill without ever mentioning that it's not government issue.

Edited: For some reason I was thinking it was 100 indians not 50. Ignore what I wrote above.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Kranky- you're too smart!

These are probably the same people who give out their SSN or credit card number over the phone to see if it's lucky and they'll win a prize.
OR do you call them and ask technical questions? Such as, well if it's ACG MS70 will it cross to NGC at MS60 or better? lol, sorry, couldn't help myself.

Yes, but he doesn't have me buying.
If anything, the show proves to me how poor a job the coin collecting/dealing industry is doing in meeting the demand of the common collector. These guys couldn't take on the big overhead of a TV show and stay on the air if they weren't moving some very serious inventory. As they have done this for years and years, it would appear that there are tens of thousands of buyers out there that don't have a good coin outlet. Obviously the buying demand is there. However, those with supplies are doing a very poor job of reaching out to the ready, willing and able buyers! Just my opinion.
