I just responded to an advertisement from Nationwide Coin & Bullion Reserve...I know, it's pretty much a scam, but reading reviews I decided to try it. The offer was for 1/10 oz gold eagles for $110, minimum order 5 max first time 10. The deal is they start to spin larger coins because "they will appreciate more" especially since they are PCGS 70. If you resist these offers, they will ship you the 1/10 oz coins. I gave it a try and will let you know how they came out. If anyone else is tempted, the key code is IM-1459 for the $110 offer (5 minimum). I just kept insisting "All I want are the 1/10 oz coins".
It's like those $20 off if you open a credit card offer at Sears or Pennies. If it's worth your time then enjoy it. I've done it but won't again.
As long as you change your e-mail address and, maybe, your residential address there probably isn't a lot of downside.
personally, not a big fan of buying graded bullion coins or sending them in to Have them graded, you will always pay a stiff premium, when really a nice B/U coin is more then adequate, and trying to get that premium back will for Sure be problematic if not impossible, but if you like it buy it as long as your Happy that,s all the matters
I totally agree with you. But in this case it's $130 worth of gold for $110 so there is a negative premium and grading fee. This is about how much of a discount do you get to put your name and phone number on a "harass me list"
You're a fool only if you didn't understand you've granted them access to you for the equivalent of the $30-35 savings per 1/10 oz coin. So, you saved, what, $150-$175 on your order of 5? (Or did you order the max of ten). Is that the value you placed on the time you'll spend declining their future offers?
Read his post. The minimum order is 5. Plus, 1/10 gold Eagles currently sell for $140-$145 each, not $130. He's actually saved $30-$35 per coin, not $20; and not JUST $20 because he had to buy at least 5.
Phone numbers are disposable today, credit or debit cards can be as well, and addresses are not that far behind. Email addresses have long been so, and with a little planning, I can only imagine that most of the downsides can be avoided. Good luck, Kentucky... I'll keep my fingers crossed for a positive experience.
I bought once from a similar deal. I ended up with ten 1/10 oz gold Eagles for a good price at the time. Yes, they call and email, but you can block the number, and unsubscribe to the email notifications. It's really not this giant intrusion into your life. At least for me it wasnt.
Yeah, I have this fancy schmancy thing called "Caller Identification"...if anyone doesn't have it, it's worth looking into.
In my simple-minded way, I looked on fee-bay and the cheapest there as a BIN was $155, so $1,550 for 10...at $1,100, that's $450, which buys a couple of 6-paks.
