<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 764972, member: 21603&quot;]Yes, to a friend of mine.&nbsp; He bought from NWT mint, Pan american silver corp.....I remember the pick ax on the bar.&nbsp; What he bought was silver bars.&nbsp; He bought them at .9999 purity.&nbsp; The price went up, he mailed them in.&nbsp; NWT mint assayed them and found their purity to be .98.&nbsp; They paid him according to .98 purity.&nbsp; While he still made money, I think this is a nasty way of hitting your customers profits.&nbsp; The bars were originally sold as .9999 purity, and this is what he paid for them.&nbsp; But, upon selling them back, to the same company that minted them, they tell him it is only .98 purity, and that&#039;s all they are paying.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told him to pursue this legally, but the monitary amount wasn&#039;t worth his efforts.</p><p><br /></p><p>This did happen about 7-8 years ago, so I don&#039;t know if they&#039;ve changed their practices.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be fair, they did reimburse him on what he spent for the original costs.&nbsp; So, they lowered the costs as if he had purchased .98 purity.&nbsp; But, the price went up.&nbsp; So, they took some of his profits.&nbsp; If the price would have gone down....do you think they would have informed him of the .98 purity...since now this would lead to them losing money?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
