And the catch is,...... ? Lots of phone calls?
And the opportunity to be up sold.
That's true, if you have an alternate number or bogus one that's an option. You have to have a pretty thick hide these days with all the promotions and sales pressure.
I tried calling them up and since I had gotten the deal before, they said for established customers the eagle is not available at spot price with a cc delivered, surprise surprise. But is $2050 unless I wanted an engraver signed quarter ounce eagle, 2022 in an MS70 holder for $2000, then they would give me the loss leader.
I tend to pass these specials up anyway.... Rarely are they a 'super' deal... Since I am happy with my stacks. Cheers, RickO
Only one person taking the loss today @ $1870.
No, to many calls wanting to sell more to you. Not for me and jmo
You'd have to have a second phone or way to block them. Cheap burner phone from Walmart, etc.
FWIW ....

Yep, lets me add to cart and "checkout." Of course the "checkout" states thank you for your order, someone will contact you shortly for your payment details. I'm guessing the initial call will be sorry we are all out of the $1805 gold eagles but we have these other fancy encapsulated ones for $2700. Sounds like a scam to me, Glad I gave them Joe the Plumbers contact info. RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
Thanks for doing this. I appreciate the 'sanity check'
