Met a guy at the bank today and gave him $5,500.

He sold me a one ounce 2008 Buffalo along with two 2008 Canadian one ounce Maple Leafs.
He was offered $5,400 on Friday so when he offered them to me for the $5,500. he felt comfortable selling.
As I buyer I feel alright. Not a swinging deal, but a bit of a discount I suppose.
Any opinions?

you paid more than my local B&M dealer would pay. The good thing for his customers is that he sells as spot (sometimes a touch less to his firends), the bad thing for the sellers is that he buys at 10% back of spot. That's his margins and that's what he sticks with.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

So, you are saying the gold bugs can blame you for buying gold and causing the drop?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
They are doing this around here but the person gets robbed at gunpoint.

Somehow, I think Braddick knows what he is doing when it comes to gunpoint

Yes. I carry this in my boot:

I have a Bond Arms derringer amd they look different from this one. The barrel on this one has Davis Industries.

Why would you not buy these from a legitimate dealer? Despite the danger to yourself in carrying cash to meet a stranger, there are
many fakes of these items that require a specific gravity test to detect.
Perhaps:
- He knew the individual involved? (Note he was offered them by the other guy, he did not make the offer to a previously unknown entity)
- He didn't want to pay $150-200 more for the exact same items from a dealer?
- He felt the reward outweighed the risk?
Spelling edit.
