The purpose of Stauer, Danbury Mint, Bradford Exchange, Lillian Vernon, the various "coin exchanges" / "mints", etc is to extract 90% markup from people who can't shop in person anymore and/or have no sense of actual market value. And newspapers, magazines, and TV stations that run their ads are complicit in the victimization of a vulnerable population.
