    I have a thought about the coins but according to NJCoin, I shouldn't say anything since I don't spend money on Whatnot.

    Correct. If you are not a customer, you opinion is worth what we are paying you for it. Just like the forum seemed to think mine was with VB.

    Vault Box!!!

    No one said your opinion on VB wasn't valid because you didn't buy it.

    I'm struggling here with a conundrum. I DON'T want to buy the New York Times because I don't think it is worth the money. But since I'm not buying the NYTs, I'm not allowed to have an opinion. That means I can't have the opinion that it is not worth the money. So, Great Oracle, does that mean that I MUST buy the NYTs?

    No, you can have any opinion you want. But, if you don't subscribe, yet feel the need to tell them that they don't pay their columnists enough, your opinion really isn't worth much, is it? If I was them I sure wouldn't care what you think.

    You can absolutely think anything you want, and say anything you want. If you expect a merchant you don't patronize to care about what you think about how they run their business, however, you are likely to be very disappointed. That's all. Now post away. About the NYT, CW, anything at all.

    I think they might want to know what they could do that would make me want to subscribe.

    Or not. Might want to know what features you would like to see. Not so much how to pay their staff.

    Sorry. Argue with me all you want. I happen to think longtime collectors who, for one reason or another, don't pay for access to the leading numismatic periodical, and who ask its writers for free access to at least some of their work, are not in a position to have anything at all to say about how they should manage their cash flow or pay their staff.

    To me, it's the absolute height of hypocrisy, even though, of course, people deserve to be paid for their work. Including the people who publish the content most here so eagerly consume.

    Yet those who have what to say about how CW treats its staff have no qualms stealing WSJ content and posting it here, without permission or compensation to the publisher. Hypocrites. Who cares what they think?

    @jmlanzaf A thought came to mind with all of your comments. Your free to speak your mind of course.
    I have never seen you start a thread to discuss a purchase of your own.
    You hijack peoples threads constantly with negative connotations.
    I like you, I think your smart but its true you never put yourself out there with a purchase of your own for your collection.
    Your very opinionated.
    I would like to make a suggestion if I may, why don't you post some of your collection. This is "collectors universe" after all.
    I imagine that its perfect and you underpaid for all of it.
    So let's see it!

    The "opinion" wasn't about the column. It was about how CW was managing its cash flow. Cash flow the peanut gallery does not contribute to.

    Absolutely no one said anything one way or the other about the columns. Other than one person who wanted them posted here, because they did not want to pay for them, but wanted to read them.

    A wish you now fulfilled, although, unfortunately, there will be no more columns since the peanut gallery does not believe CW is worth supporting financially. Only worth directing from the cheap seats.

That means I can't have the opinion that it is not worth the money. So, Great Oracle, does that mean that I MUST buy the NYTs?

    Yes. Nothing if not committed.

    Thrilled that you "like," and are finding things "nice." Pleasing you, after all, is one of my major life goals.

    Your response is as expected from someone who holds a pen with a fist.

    Again, very excited to meet expectations. Just imagine how I hold my keyboard.

    Thanks for the positive feedback.

    I have a thought about the coins but according to NJCoin, I shouldn't say anything since I don't spend money on Whatnot.

    Correct. If you are not a customer, you opinion is worth what we are paying you for it. Just like the forum seemed to think mine was with VB.

    Vault Box!!!

    No one said your opinion on VB wasn't valid because you didn't buy it.

    I'm struggling here with a conundrum. I DON'T want to buy the New York Times because I don't think it is worth the money. But since I'm not buying the NYTs, I'm not allowed to have an opinion. That means I can't have the opinion that it is not worth the money. So, Great Oracle, does that mean that I MUST buy the NYTs?

    No, you can have any opinion you want. But, if you don't subscribe, yet feel the need to tell them that they don't pay their columnists enough, your opinion really isn't worth much, is it? If I was them I sure wouldn't care what you think.

    You can absolutely think anything you want, and say anything you want. If you expect a merchant you don't patronize to care about what you think about how they run their business, however, you are likely to be very disappointed. That's all. Now post away. About the NYT, CW, anything at all.

    You really think businesses don’t care what non customers think about them??? πŸ˜†

    Based on numerous posts (most of which are invisible to me, since I have him on ignore) it sure sounds like that’s what he thinks. And he must be right. After all, why would a merchant care what non-customers think?
    Oh, wait, is it possible that the merchant might want to add new customers? No way, right? πŸ˜‰

    Good for you.
    I still have no regrets with my purchase and the experience.
    I like the set and I don't mind what I paid for it.
    It was likely a one time thing.
    Just enjoying the hobby any way I please. I hope your doing the same!

    You're having fun wrong πŸ˜€

    @jmlanzaf A thought came to mind with all of your comments. Your free to speak your mind of course.
    I have never seen you start a thread to discuss a purchase of your own.
    You hijack peoples threads constantly with negative connotations.
    I like you, I think your smart but its true you never put yourself out there with a purchase of your own for your collection.
    Your very opinionated.
    I would like to make a suggestion if I may, why don't you post some of your collection. This is "collectors universe" after all.
    I imagine that its perfect and you underpaid for all of it.
    So let's see it!
    Lol why not?
    40,000 posts by you.
    289 threads started by you.

    I don't think i said anything terribly negative on this thread.

    I've addressed this before. I mostly collect non-US coinage. I can post it here, but people will just say "wrong forum".

    Most of the US i buy is for resale but, again, this would be the "wrong forum "

    If you want to see my must recent purchase, here it is:


    Wrong forum.

    But I believe these were minted in the US.
    So @jmlanzaf may be throwing in a curveball.

    In which case, YOU must be very concerned about what I think, not only about you, but about Heritage, right?

    Which is why you, who has an open association with Heritage, although you clearly post in your personal capacity, have no qualms about getting into it here with a potential new customer. Not only Ignoring a potential new customer, but proudly announcing it. You must be a real customer acquisition whiz. Right? πŸ˜‰

    No way, right? πŸ˜‰

    I wonder what your masters at Heritage would think if someone called their attention to your posts here? Non-anonymous, with their name right in your signature?

    I'm fine. Not sure how much common sense you do or don't have, but you sure seem to like provoking responses from me. And, yes, I am very thrilled to oblige.
