    So far my favorite dealer has been Gainesville Coins. Loved their prices for purchasing bullion.

    Someone else paying for your shipping sounds like a free gift to me....

    In the realm of business and commercial law, free shipping would be a discount, not a gift.

    Since there is no guarantee of anything useful--heck, if the survey is poorly-written, then even the most accurate answers will be of value.

    There is no guarantee of the company getting anything of value, so I see parity with the "gift" of free shipping--with no guarantee of you getting anything particularly valuable, either.
    Gosh, I love this response. I'm going to look in my trashcan for the survey and fill in gibberish. Since I'm know the "gift" is phony, I'll give them a phony response and we'll both be even.
