Sound Off! thread, got something on your mind re dealers, give 'er to me

[GOLDZILLA]

While I wouldn't say no to any discounts, the ATB issue left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm on a 12 step program to stop bitching about it. I haven't quite reached step 1.


I haven't really kept up with that, but it did seem to be a valid issue. However if you had bought them, would you want the dealer to give people your name and address when asked "what did you do with them"?

Not at all, we're counting the minutes...

??? Not sure what you're getting at here. I did end up buying two sets (one for me and one for my son) from MTB and A-Mark. I have not flipped anything either.


From my understanding the complaints were mainly that they got a bunch of them and refused to say what happened to them- like maybe they were hoarding them or sitting on them for the price to go up. I could be wrong. Like I said, I didn't keep up on this.

Provident just lowered their buy price pretty significantly, although it's still loads better than the 90% of spot my local dealers offer.

Hasenfus suspended for 10 days because of the extremely vulgar personal attack directed toward Scorpio.

Let's keep it civil.

Dagnabbit! Had the phone in hand to arrange a trade today and then decided to wait and see what tomorrow looks like instead. Shoot!

Can hardly blame them though. The trade I had in mind would have come out in my favor... below current spot GSR.

Sorry; should have specified the reduction was for Silver Eagles, Maples, 90% Coins and the like. Doesn't appear that gold has changed, but I don't follow it so not certain.

I just spoke with APMEX customer service as a Platinum Member I am charged $10 delivery on orders under 10K and shipping is *free* on orders over 10K.
Be a loyal customer and you will be rewarded.:dance:

Hey Foolsgold,

How do I become a platinum member. I just started buying from apmex, 3 -$250 orders, and most recently a $2200 order. You probably have to buy a couple of big beautiful monster boxes of saes or maples or something. haha.

Thanks,

I got started with online buying with Monarch and then quickly followed by APMEX. I started small and APMEX met my needs, honest, no delivery problems, took CC. I shortly matured in my knowledge of the market and products. Some members on this forum clued me in to Provident, since then I have made almost every single purchase there. However, I have checked every purchase against APMEX first - the difference was considerable. Then the ATB fiasco, followed by the remaining sets 'lottery'. It may make platinum members happy, but it sure alienated me. At Christmas time I did purchase a considerable amount of specialty 'gift' coins from APMEX as Provident did not have the selection, but after this ATB thing I would rather pay more somewhere else than at APMEX.
Let the Platinum Members keep them in business, I'll help someone who appreciates my business more. I unsubscribed from their emails and told them to close my account. I'm not interested in even deleting their special buy emails. Gold has hit a record high! Buy some more! Hahahhahah.

I want to qualify this post by saying at no time did APMEX ever do anything wrong to me, violate a contract, deceive me in any way or be anything but an honest firm in my dealings. Perhaps it is sour grapes on my part about the ATBs. I wasn't upset with them before that, I just moved my purchases elsewhere due to equal or better service and lower prices. If APMEX meets your needs, go for it.

I think it kicks in after the first 100 million.
