I don't see why anyone would buy this but whatever.
Does no one see the potential for abuse here? Are you going to give a newbie with 10 posts a loan? Hell no. Are you going to give a very seasoned member with a good rep a loan if he promises a good interest rate? Probably. |

Got mine today, took only 3 days to ship across the atlantic. I wonder if it was due to the fact that you put 3 dozen post stamps on the envelope? LOL, never seen that many.
Anyway, Thanks OP. Positive rep incoming.
Lol I appreciate it. Hey-I got my estimate from USPS.com and realized I only had 10 cent stamps. I hope you're a collector or something! Anyways, still have 0.5BTC and 1BTC/5BTC cases available in black and white ring. Also, I have direct fit (no foam ring) cases for typical 1 oz silver rounds (will not fit Eagles, Maples...thats about it). |

Hey everybody,
I'm looking to buy a decent amount of junk foreign silver coins. Not US 90%-the premium is ridiculous. If you have some please send me a message.
Thanks!
*note: Canadian quarters, dimes and half dollars -1968 are of interest to me.

Whats so cool about a hero account?
Being able to get loans, stuff sent first w/out escrow, etc. Only a scammer would want/try to illegitimately acquire one. |

You want $40 bucks for that  It would blow your mind what I've sold these things for for cash. |

If you can offer 1ozers for spot you most definitely should start a "gold shop" on here.

Hey everybody,
So I know a lot of us are college age on here. And longboards are a much cooler means of transportation than a bike...so I bet a large majority of you bought one. And I bet an even larger majority rode the thing maybe twice (no shame in that!). Anyways, I'm looking for a Loaded Dervish or Tan Tien. If you have one, please PM me!

#3 -- I think that's why I favor silver over gold for the larger bars. You can easily do a test with a rare earth magnet and mix in the "ping" test for proper sound. With gold, you need to be extra extra careful and fire up that ultrasound machine.
Sorry for being slightly off topic, I don't know quite as much about testing gold, so I would probably make sure you buy from a reputable dealer. If you are going to acid test small 1oz bullion, be sure you aren't getting anything for its collector value, as you need to cut into the coin to properly acid test it, and it will completely ruin any collector value. You can test a coin without drilling into it, but just past surface deep. You rub it on a piece of slate or frosted glass, which won't leave marks on the coin, then pour the testing solution over the scratch marks. One thing about numismatic gold though is that it is very common to find-say-a pre '33 gold coin made of 90% gold (as a real one is), but is in-fact counterfeit because of the collector/numismatic value that it holds. So if you ever decide to go numismatic gold, be VERY confident in the seller. Also, I can understand your desire for a 1 kilo bar. I think there's some innate "ecstasy of gold" mentality built into all of us. The truth is though, its definitely not the smartest buy. 1 Kilo bars are purchased by BIG time investors, and not by the single bar-by the hundreds, maybe thousands. Since you (Teran) are such a nice guy, I want to do what I can to steer you in the right direction. So I'm sorry if I reiterate at all. But here are my compelling arguments: 1. The only reason for buying any precious in a larger increment is because you pay [negligible if you only buy one] less of a premium over spot. For example: it costs A LOT more to buy 10 x 1/10 gold coins than it does to buy 1 x 1oz. SO, buying 1oz bars may cost you a bit more over spot than a kilo bar would, but you get that money back in the form of the same premium over spot that you paid when you sell them. ALSO, more compelling, selling a 1 Kilo bar is A LOT harder than selling 1 oz bars. With 1 oz bars you can have as many paydays as you have bars. With a kilo bar, you get one payday. Also, if you got one ounce bars they would most likely be PAMP or Credit Suisse, which are universally recognized and thus easy to trade. A kilo bar would most definitely have to be assayed. 2. Refineries usually make 1kilo bars with the buyer in mind-they know they're not going to be looking at, appreciating their gold. One kilo bars are often-for lack of a better term-ugly. Also, you questioning if a kilo bar would be worth more doesn't hold any water. Any refinery can take 1oz bars and turn them into a kilo bar. 3. Finally, there is the argument of authenticity. If you buy 1oz PAMP bars from a reputable seller, you really don't have anything to worry about. Kilo bars, however, are sold by less vendors. Often they are even marked with a sharpie (told you they were ugly)! It is very easy to load a 1 kilo bar with something like Tungsten. And it would be relatively hard to detect. Think of the Tungesten in the I believe 10oz bars sold by a reputable dealer. If it happened with 10oz bars, it would/could certainly happen even easier with a 1 kilo bar. Finally, the choice is yours (obviously). I know that having a kilo bar and playing with it would be fun. But bathing in a bunch of 1oz bars isn't so bad either! I wish you the best in your buying decision! |

I'd prefer cheaper metal such as silver but quote price for others metals too if you can
Take a coin (one with silver content so its soft enough) and VERY gently bang around the perimeter with a hammer on a surface like an anvil. You have to bang VERY gently (and also be very patient!) or you will warp the coin. Once you have it banged down to the appropriate size, drill as large a hole as you can in it. Finish by hand with a metal filer. I make rings like this all the time. Its very easy but does require patience. Good luck. |

Hey everybody, I'm a student of Communism in East Asia, focusing particularly on North Korea. I'm also a coin collector. I found an NGC graded North Korea coin-I had never seen one before...so I bought it. Its real; it checks out with the NGC registry. I had another North Korean coin I wanted to send in for grading. So, I did. Three weeks later I get my invoice returned with a handwritten note "NGC DOES NOT GRADE N KOREAN COINS". This is also documented formally on the invoice. SO, what I have here is actually pretty rare-and would include the invoice so it'd be a great collector's and conversation piece. I am asking  which includes delivery anywhere in the United States. I am willing to ship internationally, too. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!  |

Hey everybody,
I know we're a global community on here, but that doesn't mean we're completely connected. I'm in the USA and offering my services as a mail forwarder. I forward mail to DobZombie in Australia (he has said its ok to refer to him on here) and figured there are more people who could use the service.
I will mail you anything to essentially any country. These are the guidelines:
1. The item must be legal in the US and its arriving country.
2. I can offer you a cheap mailing option (usually $5 or less) that does not include tracking. I will send you a picture of me putting your package in the mailbox but I cannot be held responsible if it does not reach you.
3. I can offer you trackable (Delivery Confirmed) shipping for a slightly higher fee.
4. I reserve the right to not ship anything anywhere (if its too big, if its sketchy, etc.)
You can rest assured that your package will arrive safe and sound. I pride myself on my packaging abilities. I'll hardly be charging a premium for this service-its more just a way for me to convert my dollars to bitcoins.
Please PM if interested.
Thanks!

I'll just put in my two cents here...don't go for a kilogram bar. Yeah it would be awesome, but there are a lot of cons.
1. You can only have 1 payday (as opposed to buying several 1oz bars and trading as desired)
2. Larger bars are more commonly weighted w/lead or something because there are barely any manufacturers that produce 1kg bars...so you have smelters doing it themselves. A PAMP bar is a lot better than some bar you'd have to assay anyway.
3. You won't be saving a ton of money. There are plenty avenues to buy gold in increments of an oz for hardly over spot.
Just a few things to think about!

Hey everybody, I was going through my collection and picking out coins I have duplicates of or am willing to part with. This is a great coin, but I'm down-sizing and collecting old US and Mexico Silver only. This is a very early copper US coin. It has the large motto with the small "1866" date. I bet you didn't even know there was a 2 cent coin! Check eBay and you'll see this is a great deal. Shipped anywhere in the US I am asking only  I'll ship internationally too for a small additional fee-just send me a message. If interested, please PM me. I have more early copper coins (wheat, Indians, large cents) too. Thanks!   |

Hey everybody, I have a feeling demand for Casascius (even redeemed)coins is going to go up with the price and popularity of bitcoins. I don't usually offer them here (I usually sell for cash), but I have 1 x 2013 1BTC coin, redeemed. It will include a case (like pictured-black or white ring) as well as a security holograms and instructions (if you need them) on how to reload the coin. Price includes shipping anywhere in the US. I will ship internationally for a reasonable additional charge-just PM me. Anyways, for everything mentioned I am asking  I think that price is very fair considering I have sold several just like this for over $100 fiat. If you have any questions or are interested, please PM me!     |

Hey everybody, I have a beautiful slabbed, NGC MS 69 graded "Early Release" 2008 American Eagle. Its nice and frosty (as opposed to some from the San Francisco Mint that are just shiny). I'm not asking a lot more than what any regular Eagle sells for, and this one is an Early Release and MS 69 graded by NGC. I am asking only  , which includes shipping anywhere in the US. If you are international just PM me, I am willing to ship. If interested please send me a PM. Hope to hear from you! Thanks!   |
