<p>[QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 2206078, member: 20082"]Here is the rub with this company. A few years ago this was a good place to buy and sell. Their nucleo exchange gave you a buy and sell with peers and they were the intermediary. You'd pay them a commission and they'd mail the goods to the buyer once they took delivery from the seller. A few years ago, they made the shipping outrageous, therefore pushing customers to have them to "hold" the goods until the buyer had a good enough "vaulted" metal for shipping to be economically feasible. Once they raised the shipping rates, almost forcing customers to "vault" the goods, they chased many of the buyers that wanted delivery away. Most or many buyers of physical metals aren't comfortable with vaulting services, and this just solidifies their stance. Those that didn't take timely delivery are caught in a very bad spot. </p><p><br /></p><p>While they were a seller, their main business was intermediary, or at least a major part of their business was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
