the TV seller of 1/10 ounce AGE

I cant find the original thread, but I wanted to report that my friend got delivery of his ten 1/10th ounce american gold eagles after about three weeks.... though delivery was promised in five to seven business days. he did have to call the company to inquire.

but the delay wasnt the company's fault entirely.

the package was sent by UPS and UPS delivered the package to his neighbor, who signed for it, and held it for a couple of days before going to his house to give it to him.

so if you remove the delay caused by UPS and the neighbor, delivery was made in about 12 business days.

sure beats the 12 weeks that other marketers are talking about.

    ummm....... just a word of caution here. In most cases when you see an offer for bullion coins at a really good price there is a reason for it.
    The reason is your name, address, email, and phone number. The "good deal" is just a lead in to many future attempts to sell you more
    (higher margin) items.

    If you don't mind being solicited, then have at it, just know this is the real motivation.

    A couple of years ago we bid on an estate that lost over half of a one million dollar buy-in in less than a year from the date of the first purchase.

    Looking at the invoices, it started out with the purchase of a few 1/10th ounce gold eagles and a few silver eagles at "loss leader" prices.

    The deceased victim was then relentlessly telemarketed, and even took some $400,000 out of his IRA accounts to buy coins. The estate had to pay income taxes on the withdrawals. After the taxes, the "million dollar estate" netted the heirs less than $300,000. All because somebody wanted to buy a little bullion at less than retail prices.
