AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH there on HSN again

That dufus Mike Mezack or how ever his name is spelled. I dont See how he and HSN can charge what they charge for their coins. What are their customers that stupid?? They would pay 49.99$ for a roll of ag/good buffalo nickles which goes for maybe 18.00 to 20.50$ 89.95 for a bust half that was maybe good. They always harken back to saying in the leading nusmatic magizne thats what they are charging. I would love to know what magazine they are using for their prices.

Come on they are such crooks. Those poor people are buying these things then turning around and going out and trying to sell them at those prices

What do you other coin guys and gals think? Please dont tell me you buy from them I would lose all trust i have in you .

    Sellers on the HSN type shows have a high commsion that goes to the network - 15-25% because of the overhead - client list - card card fees.

    Most of these gear to compulsive shoppers - the buyers of these items will probably not be trying to sell soon - many times hoarders, and coin sales will be left up to the estate that had no idea what purchase price may have been.

    Some retired folk have nothing better to do than to sit at home watching TV to see what to spend money on, and actually enjoy calling up and talking to the people that take the orders.

    You call it fraud, some call it marketing - not trying to say it is right, but just the way it is. IMHO.

    If someone wants it bad enough, they will pay big bucks for it. LOL
    And that goes without say. LOL

    I watched it for a minute or two last night. He was trying to compare an 2003 $50 Gold Eagle to a 1909 S VDB.

    "He was trying to compare an 2003 $50 Gold Eagle to a 1909 S VDB"
    Just a guess at what he was trying to say - the gold coin graded MS-68 has a lower mintage so it's got to be worth more than a MS-68 09-S vdb.

    The Coin Vault Guy recently quoted these prices for silver proof sets - citing ALL of the catalogs as reference:

    1999 Silver Proof Set $279.00
    2000 Silver Proof Set $ 99.00
    2001 Silver Proof Set $249.00

    They were packaging some low priced proof sets with a 2002 Silver Proof Set claiming the price on the 2002 Silver Proof sets had "skyrocketed" by over $70.00 in the last five weeks!

    In which case, I have some I would be happy to sell them for 20% back of these prices! image

    Or, sinec quantities are always limited, they can refer the full retail customers who "missed out" to me! image
