<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1527774, member: 36230"]As Tom mentioned, if you have such a supplier for silver (willing to sell retail below melt), why are you posting on craigslist? Common sense would dictate that you did do in the hopes of finding a deal. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you long ago missed the boat, my friend. Every scammer, dreamer, and self-proclaimed "expert" is - or already long has been doing the same. Every newbie who wakes up on Sunday deciding they like coins, and by Wednesday declare themselves a "dealer" go straight to CL expecting riches to fall into their laps. The thing you need realize is that it <b><u>works both ways</u></b>. Just as you (presumably) posted an ad hoping to score a deal, there are plenty of others out there responding to such ads - knowing full well some are placed by bandwagon newbies who don't know what they are doing - hoping to snare a sucker. While I see nothing wrong in what you did and mean no offense, I do find it odd that you think him crazy in fishing for a high price, but you fishing for a low price was okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is all a game, and if you want to take the craigslist route, be ready to play ball.
