    Deep sea trolling again?

    I remember those five coin ASE sets. Even though there was a five coin limit from the mint I managed to get 25 sets. Those things generated great profits.

    Just celebrating the anniversary of the last post of several threads and this was one. Did you feel hooked?

    I think though, you have reaffirmed that the promoter of PMs is the winner, not the stacker.

    I only got the household limit of 5 but certainly was a great flip. Sold the same say they landed on my doorstep and more than doubled my money as I recall, never even opened the box and had cash in hand by 5PM.

    The bad news is I haven't made a profit flipping silver since, nothing worth mentioning anyway.

    This behavior is ethical. What you did to game the mint as described by you above is not.

    Guilty as charged, learned the trick on this very forum. lol.

    To the snowflakes here who haven't gamed the paypal gift option as a buyer or a seller and to those who have not bought or sold ebay bullion listed in a non bullion category to game the bonus ebay bucks, sorry if I hurt your feelings. Check your local university for a "safe zone" or just suck it up buttercup.

    I'm guessing with 100% certainty you never saw the receiving end of a rifle as you were asked to defend mom, god, and apple pie. Russian bone spurs were probably your excuse as you continuously milked the system. I'd of impeached you in a heartbeat. Semper Fi S-bird!!

    Unethical to have a friend or relative order 5 is unethical? Interesting - please expand on the ethics lapse, as I try to be ethical in my dealings.

    Having friends/relatives ordering “stuff.”

    Seems it happens quite often and will happen again for the ERPR ASE on sale on 14 Nov. Multiple threads in the US Coin forum.

    This is a weird thread. :D Perhaps it took an unexpected turn.

    I'm probably a bit out of the loop, but hopefully you guys can all be civil. :)

    Have a great rest of your weekend and, to all our Veterans, God Bless!!
