So do you have a take on the latest surge? I am kind of bummed since I was having some fun buying up "junk" coins. This latest price surge has...
True, the clerks may be in violation of store policy. I was just clarifying stores do have this right, its just stupid. I am sure the manager and...
Poor practice for the store, but I doubt its illegal. In the US stores can dictate whatever form of money they wish to accept. If Walmart refused...

Btw, where the heck are Fatima and Inflexion? I usually don't agree with them, but like reading their opinions. Not that I am not appreciating...
