These people I suppose believe no reputable major hobby publication would accept advertising from known unscrupulous auction houses. And that coupled with the LOAs lead them to believe not so much that they are getting a bargain but in fact that the selling prices reflect fair market value.<br /><br />So then a critical component to the "success" of CC's business model is (besides the LOAs) SCD advertising.
