The issue with me is I was involved in negotiations with him [Mike Caldwell] before he moved up the prices. He knew in Feb I was trying to buy his coins and was waiting for his new .5 BTC to place my large order. He could have told me he was going to do something different and that I should order then but he did not.
So yeah, I won't be buying, hell right now I can't. He never sent me the BTC payment address he asked me to wait for because he said his site might get hacked. And now it is not even listed on his site so I can't even buy the unsafe way.
His plan to only sell coins via 3rd parties is crazy to me. I have a hard time trusting one person, let alone some unknown reseller. there is no way in hell I would give over 2,000 BTC to some one I did not trust. I don't know if he changed his mind about that cuz some coins are now back on his website.
I also had a special project for one of the gold coins. I found a workshop here in Thailand that was going to mount it so I could wear it on a chain or resell it. I thought that might get some good media for him and BTC.
I'm just tired of it really. It seems to me he forgot about his loyal long time supporters/collectors and tried to grab this new money from all the new people.
Sure it is a business and he is making business decisions and he can do whatever he wants but we can also as consumers voice our thoughts on a forum and chose not to buy.
I hope he does well and I still really like the coins. I'm going to be keeping the ones I have but just will no longer be collecting them like I thought I would.

Your frustration reminds me of what I have been experiencing locally with Technomage. He is running this business, which used to be the bitcoin company in Finland. I started buying bitcoins from him last September, and everything worked smoothly until about March. I have bought many bitcoins from him, and I was definitely their largest paying customer. Then he starts to ignore me, and spends more time talking about me in their private chat, than talking to me, their largest customer. He has not called me, nor answered to my call, for 3 weeks now.
Now that is not a way to handle your biggest customer. He [me, the biggest ex-customer] ends up making a better system, overtaking your business just for the indignation ("vitutus" på finska) that he is not being served. They actually had a broker desk that I could call at will, back in March! Now, WTF, the person I am assigned with to be helping with my business, is not picking up the phone for THREE WEEKS. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I CAN BUY OR SELL BITCOINS OR ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T PICK UP? It is all right if you want to be sent email, but I have almost finished using it, did not read my main business email address for 3 weeks - if you have sent an apology there I HAVE NOT READ IT, I want to be served by voice.
Oh I see, I was exposed for not reading my email. Perhaps it would have been all good if only I had opened that one (I still haven't). We are all stressed over having so much to do, the difference is that you generally should not make your biggest customer as angry as Goat is over Mike or I am with Henry.
Molecular says he does not want to charge 
) prices, so 'letting the market decide' does not seem to apply here.
