Facebook ads for $5 ASEs

isaiah58

I began seeing these a few weeks ago. FB does not seem to care. I am sure the video shows real ASEs.

I am sure the fakes are being drop shipped from Alibaba.

Unfortunately these are being resold in mass. I wonder how many the average dealer is seeing a week? And how many upset people then knowingly and illegally try to sell them privately as being real?

I find it amazing that people buy them.... Even for those not into PM's, it is easy enough to check the current prices. And items selling for less than 20% of melt should set off alarms.... I guess in some cases, greed is louder than alarms or ignorance is deafening. Cheers, RickO

I beg to differ on this. Anyone that does sufficient research into flipping would consciously comprehend that no entity would sell legitimate 1oz silver rounds for 20% of their paper value. They could sell them to any legitimate dealer for paper value at minimum.

I do agree that after they change hands then their being fake is not so obvious.

Since you repeated the question that I already responded too, maybe you can provide the answer that you are looking for??

I updated the question based on your response to the first time I asked.
