I’ve bought 3 from PURE with no problems. However the first one that I ordered was at $4474 was cancelled by the seller. He or she claimed that their U.S. Mint order had fallen through. It is more likely that the rising price of gold and the higher selling price on PURE at that time caused him to reneg.
PURE told me today that their dealer order for the coin is still on backorder. So, I still wait for that coin at the agreed upon price. I believe that they will fulfill it but it has not been a smooth transaction.
i've been told you buy on pure and you buy from pure
sounds like a pile of junk with some of the same buy/sell issues as ebay
what good is pure now?
Unlike ebay, there is a middleman who acts as an escrow agent who will ensure that you get what you buy with no fakes and when you don't get the item, you don't lose your money.
On the plus side.
1. They do check the quality of the coin that a seller is offering.
2. They did promptly refund my money on the cancelled transaction.
3. PURE will honor the price I was quoted.
On the minus side.
1. Sellers can back out
2. Trey said that their 2025 High Relief is on backorder.
3. Lots of back and forth with the transaction
How can a dealer ABP? order be on backorder when the coin is currently available from the mint?

apparently not
Oh, is there an instance of someone getting something other than what they bought?
...with no fakes ...
shouldn't they have it in hand to do that? yes? then why did they take a sell order when they didn't have it in hand?
That's not their business model. They bring together buyers and sellers and facilitate a transaction. They are not a retail store. Understanding how a company works is important if you're going to use them or criticize them.
Further, yes they could have a policy that disallows presales for newly released mint products but I would suggest that their customer base likes being able to pre-sale and pre-buy and understand the risks assoicated with this.

how does one ensure no fakes if the facilitator does not see the item?
