Think he'll need more than luck... it's a shark infested swamp out there. Seems as if crazygaijin has recently been sharkfood.
Guess he's now got to wait for the price to rise 17.5% for VAT and another 50% for being taken for a sucker.

This is not a thought through comment. Most of the comments from the Anti Precious Metals League never are. They are just based on a prejudice against P.M.'s. Like all prejudice they lack any hint of rational thought.
I'll explain.
MSE has nearly 680,000 registered users. If they all went out tomorrow and bought 10 ounces of gold, or 10 Kilos of silver, the price of those metals would spike for a day, then get back to normal just as quick.
So the ramping hypothesis is bunkum. Contrary to some peoples views the global P.M. market is too big to ramp or manipulate anyway.0 -
Some of these 'financial experts' have an apalling lack of sense. The idea that they can sell a bar of silver back to a broker with the VAT still added onto it is laughable."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0

You're ramping a small market of idiots who buy from strangers via a forum PM (personal message) by constantly posting pro-silver messages. It has no impact on the wider silver market, but you're not selling to these fools at a market price anyway, you're adding VAT to a second hand product.
I never said you were ramping the market, you're just using a sales pitch on here and some fools are falling for it. More fool them when they can get it from reputable dealers who aren't selling them pressed solder and a fake certificate."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there.

Harry, you're an Idiot.
Some people care about others, and want to help people protect their savings.

Then go and make the same argument against the Independent Financial Advisers, those who really do ramp some zombie products to anybody who sends them a PM.
Don't pick and choose which Spammers you attack. They are all scum.0 -
I would focus my Anger on the Bankers, that create debt out of thin air.
Loan that debt that should never exist.... to ANYONE.
Which creates a housing Bubble.
The Same bankers make interest on the Loan and a bonus from the Loan Protection Scam!
The same Bankers control the Politicians that choose how much Tax you pay when you sell the house.
