in Precious Metals
Hi everyone - this is my first post on the forums so I figured I'd introduce myself. I couldn't find an introductions section so I figured I'd start here since it's where I'll spend most of my time.

I was introduced to this forum by someone I was transacting with via Craigslist. My main interest is precious metals but I dabble in numismatics a bit.

I look forward to becoming a trusted member of the trading community on these boards, but I know I have to earn my place. Let's get started!

    Thanks for the welcome!

    Mostly silver bullion thus far. I'm partial to Engelhard but I'll stack anything at the right price! Obviously the Engelhard is old stuff but when the market drops I look at modern refiners like JM, Silvertowne, etc if they offer free shipping. But I prefer face-to-face cash sales 'cause I don't like Big Brother knowing my business.

    I've held some gold for a while and just recently I've been trying to collect lower fractional gold. The 1oz+ are too inconvenient to move if I need the cash...

    Welcome!

    Check out the BST forum; there are sometimes good deals on PMs.

    welcome and expect to see lots of discussion on the "whys" and "what ifs" involved with precious metal supply, demand and pricing.

    Yep I will read the rules!

    I've read a lot of the speculation on PMs here. I find it at once interesting and hopeless. Aside from some obvious signs like who is president, what the Fed is doing, and what the stock market does, I've basically resigned any hope of predicting the PM markets... But it's fun to read other people's insights sometimes...

    Thanks everyone!

    Also any advice on getting started on BST here is appreciated. I'm not in any hurry; I'd just like to hear the tips that the veterans have.

    Welcome aries339! In case the community hasn't figured out who introduced you to this place (hint is in his signature), it was me. We did a couple of deals on Craigslist and everything went very smoothly. The second time, he came over to my place. Thanks again for driving out here, aries339! The last time I drove out to you, I didn't know if I would make it back alive. The car I was driving had terrible tires.
    References: Too many to list. PM for details. 100% satisfaction both as buyer and seller. As a seller, I ship promptly and keep buyers updated.

    You will find quite a bit of spin-doctoring here as everyone has a different interpretation of the same event(s).

    But it is very educational. Enjoy!

    Best to get a little history under your belt so buyers will have more confidence when sending payments to you.

    Hello and welcome to the boards.

    We like all of the things you do. A couple successful buys and then some small sales with a number of board members should be a good start.

    It's all about what the people want...
