Don't try to sell anything here.
As far as bullion goes most places will give you 2 dollars below spot prices.
This ripoff artist wanted to pay almost 5.50 below spot.
Now for junk bullion I might understand but for limited edition numbered freedom pieces at .999 pure from Provident Metals on a 10,000 mint I don't think so.
John you are nothing but a thief and I'm not selling to you and I will never step foot in your establishment again.
You could have won a customer but instead you lost one.
I dont forget and I am local as well as serve the community. I will let people know.
As far as laughing and smiling when I said no to your price. That was very demeaning and condescending. I hope karma finds you...

Once again you belittle me and the situation calling it insignificant and below you.
You laughed in my face!!! What kind of person are you?
Do you think your better than me because you are a business owner...lol
I have started, run, purchased and sold many businesses.
Don't judge people from the position you are at. You can lose everything in a heartbeat.
Yes I did call you a thief and I stand by my words.
If you had shown me a little respect and not made fun at the fact that I wasn't going to accept the low price you were offering then things would have been different.
But I felt belittled as I left your place.
It wasn't as if you had said sorry but I just can't pay you any more like others have done in the past. You actually laughed at me in my face and stopped short of calling me a fool.
What you failed to realise is that I have been buying and selling precious metals for years.
I can accept when a person doesn't want to give you the price you want.
I can also respect that you need to make some money.
In the end I sold them for 28.00 a piece for the one ounce numbered Limited Edition Freedom pieces.
I knew what they were worth. I asked for 15.00 an ounce which was 2.00 under the current spot price. You offered me 12.00. That is less than half of what they were worth. I would have accepted an I'm sorry but I just can't pay that. But you belittled me saying I can just save my time and sell them to you for 12.00 an ounce and that no one else will give me more. The tone of your voice and the look in your eye told me all I needed to know about you. I know the difference between bartering and being swindled. But you not only were rude to me which I never asked for nor was I rude to you even after you had treated me badly.
I treated you with respect and said sorry but I just can't sell them for that them I left.
There is more to this than trying to make a profit. There is the right to be respected. What you didn't know is that I was searching for a local spot to do my trading. I do have a lot to trade and barter. You stood to make a lot. But instead you lost my business.
So I will drive 17 miles up rte 51 to Treasure Hunt where they always give me a fair deal at 2.00 below spot for handling. They always post the current prices on a sign for everyone to see. They are as honest and straight forward as they can be.
The last deal I made with them was in the thousands and I purchased my new car in cash from the deal. There are others that are fair, considerate and appreciative for my business.
I can understand if you were having an off day but this was much more than that. You thought you were better than me. You belittled me. That is a character flaw that I will not deal with when I am conducting business. I don't have the time for your ego or your dishonesty.
What you didn't know is my little transaction was but a little taste to see how honest you were. My precious metals can sit in my safe forever before I sell one ounce to you. The fact that you even responded to this in the manner you did shows the type of person you are. I am done here, I have said what was on my mind, I am through with you and your business. You can try to justify this however you want and call it insignificant but it wasnt.
