The "nobody wants to try anything new" thread. The people have spoken, let it die

I was going to do this on the regular BST, then thought it might not work because people would complain of it being bumped too often.
Then I thought it might work on this Forum better. I know we have the Monthly BST on this Forum, but think of this as the thread that people are posting items that people are more interested in. I know someone is saying, we all have different tastes and that's the variety I like here.
But think of this BST thread as the more mass appeal items...ASE's, AGE's, Engelhard or Johnson Matthey bars, 90%, Morgan Dollars, and maybe even the red headed step child Peace Dollars
What the heck, it's worth a try to just change it up a bit here, isn't it? Let's see the more mass appeal items you are offering, or what you want.

Go FAIL thread!

At least I try and am open minded enough to want to mix things up. You guys are afraid to, you're comfortable with the familiar. Probably the kind of guys that keep voting for the same politicians and expect things to change. So unwilling to even consider something that might just fail because it scares you. Have fun being vanilla.
I know what I like and usually will side with it too, but at least I am open minded and will try. Can't say that for alot of you here. You think you know it all but you don't know $hit.
It's not to buy low and sell high. It's to post items that more people have an interest in. I could care less about freakin Daniel Carr piece of crap. Offer me a nice 50 T. oz Engelhard at a fair realistic current value price and I guarantee I'll buy it.
You guys are missing the point, just like clockwork I've learned to expect.
I knew it would happen.

We can title the thread "If I don't have it and I can't get it, then you don't want it."
I'm offering bags of crow for those who thought that hyperinflation in the USA was a guaranteed thing these past 5 years. I'm sure I'll sell out anyday now.
Maybe rename it to "The stuff in BST sucks, anybody got anything cool they can sell me cheap" or .... fill in with your own ideas

Hyperinflation only? For buying into peak oil, dollar collapse, financial collapse and a zombie outbreak, I will need five bags of crow and two humble pies.

<< <i>It's not like the regular monthly BST thread is so busy and full that you can't pick out the stuff you want to buy from the stuff you don't. If you took all the ASEs, AGEs, Engelhards, 90%, etc.. out of the monthly thread then it would only have a couple posts left. Like you said, this place is dead so no need for multiple BST threads. The regular one rarely gets over 2-3 pages as is. >>
This is the best possible post to reflect on in my opinion.
There is a section of another all bullion forum that has a separate space for items with a higher percentage cost over the price of spot metal, however CU does not seem to have the volume to accommodate this need at this time....
This forum is old school, and to be honest this us against me mentality is disgusting, I fail to see why this has become the norm. I have had beautiful correspondences, trades, talks and lessons learned with people here and recognize the good here but in the name of death, please let this die people.
Piece of Me, you agreed with Afro man in a sense even before hr posted when u wrote

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

<< <i>I'll buy anything if the price is right. Unfortunately I'm a cheap bastage and place a much lower value on stuff than others do. To me, a 10oz bar is worth spot x 10. I like to keep things simple. >>
well if you want to pay $158.30 for a 10 oz bar of silver on the BST thread you will have to wait until spot drops to 9$ an ounce

No doubt that that is his plan. May get there, may not.

Hyperinflation has not yet been reached though we hit +- 7% in the last 12 months. Exploding deficits and currency creation has insured that it will arrive.
Brazil in collapse, Russia in collapse, Japan in collapse.
Hold the avian burlap sacks a while longer Miklia. They will certainly rise in price.

As and far as a-holes like PP saying it is something I created for me to buy cheap, that's a complete mis-statement. I clearly stated in the opening post that it was to be a thread for everyone here to post their more common and more widely collected items. Even joefro got it.
Some of you need to stop being such an arse, (again as Luke said) maybe you'll find that I would stop too. I give what I get.
The 5 Browns.
Come on boys. It's easy as rocket science. I mean we spend billions even trillions of dollars on space programs, and can't find out where crop circles come from. And you guys give the OP more crap than we ought to be giving these scientists for "global warming".
Another brick in the wall.
