you are in So. Cal

Although he doesn't need it, I put a huge vote of confidence for Tiptopgemdotcom. I have bought a sizable amount of stones from him for past projects, and not only was the price and service great, but he is also a great guy.

Motorcycle, and yes. You know, I could never really tell if he was serious about that... I think thats what made the joke the best. The fact that I don't know if it was or not, although I'm leaning towards it being not.


I'd be honored to serve as escrow between you two. Tecshare was actually the first person I ever dealt with (on the forums), so its an odd reversal. Either way, I'm good with it.

Stocks can be a good idea done right, they can provide a few extra LTC, keep you from spending the current LTC you have. If you have a share that you buy for $5 in LTC, and then the value of LTC drops, that share should still be worth around $5 in LTC, so you made a LTC profit. That isn't always the case though; there are always scammers, low liquidity so you can't sell off as fast as you would like and may be forced to sell for less than you would like, LTC value increase and your stocks are worth less, etc.

I bought a few hundred LTC Global stocks @ 26 LTC each a long while ago, right as it was starting to get some attention. That was about $1-$.75 per share, going for about 200 LTC now @ $.06, $12. Well neat.

What sucks is, I've never had a twinkie before, so I decided, hey I should try one before they go out of business. Well, they are expensive now. I will say though, I've seen a lot higher prices elsewhere than here.

I'll pass 

Yup silver is silver. If you are just looking to invest, nothing wrong with getting generics at a lower premium. I decided I liked the more expensive premium coins because they tend to carry that premium when you go to sell them, and I just enjoy the artwork on them.

How much for your sister?

Also, will you be putting her to work for $1.50 per hour, 16 hours per day?

I'll give it a shot!


Sorry, what do you mean? I'm blind in my left eye, so I can't see anything you said to the left of "the scammer tag"

Well, whatever I have listed in BTC converted to the current BTC-E LTC:BTC rate.

I'm actually pretty comfortable with Dank, I see no red flags that make me think he would scam me or anyone that is purchasing from him. To put it bluntly, he could do better. With Dank's rep and the time he put into his account, not only is it not cost efficient to leave with so little gain, but if he wanted to run off with people's money, he could do much better than what he would get out of this thread. For this reason, I'm not too worried that he is going to walk off with my 24 BTC, simply for the fact that if he wanted, he could get a 200 BTC loan or better before vanishing.

That probably didn't sound too flattering as I mostly just said that you aren't scamming, because you have better opportunities to scam elsewhere, but it was meant to be a vote of confidence.

Bump, added Silver Antelope and Elephant. Will upload pics in a minute.

While it is always a good idea to test silver, especially larger increments, counterfeits are MUCH more uncommon in silver than gold. The reasoning for that being, until you get past 1 Oz increments, its actually more expensive to make a counterfeit than it is to buy/sell a legitimate silver coin. Even at 5 Oz its a little shaky as to whether its even a worth the effort. It costs on the order of $40 to make a decent fake of a 1 Oz bar, and for silver, well why would someone make a $40 counterfeit to sell for $35 or so? Gold on the other hand, at $70 or better per gram (if you are buying in gram increments) its more than worthwhile to do so.

Either way, I'd advise everyone that purchases any silver to have a neodymium magnet handy, and a good scale that does gram, ounce, and troy ounce increments.

Just sent payment for the half pound Silver Eagle

set to ship tomorrow  

thanks Dank

edit* Figured I'd at least be a customer if I was going to accidentally threadcrap.

Sorry to be fueling conversation in this sort of thread, but I'm curious. What law is this? I've worked pretty closely with my local silver dealer, and in the U.S, depending on what state you are in, there is either no tax on Silver/Gold, no tax if you purchase more than $500 worth, or no tax if you purchase more than $1000 worth.

Sorry about that, I had one a while back, and it was 6 troy oz I believe, after doing a bit of looking into it, It looks like some are 6 troy oz and some are 8 troy oz?

either way, I'm tempted 

Five more Eagles, Panda, Rhino, and Kookaburra sold.

Thats the point, until Smoothie does something stupid enough to get him banned, why not provide a sanctuary for him here, where he can express his "Unpopular ideas" so the only people that have to see them are those who decide to enter the thread. Its like a special off topic section, just for Smoothie.

He gets to vent and rant here, and people who don't want to be part of it don't have to be.
