<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1074811, member: 19065&quot;]You are not experiencing a conspiracy with these vending machines any more than you are old fashioned, but you are failing to see the point I tried to illustrate. One can chat with a human all they like when making a (major) purchase, but you still need the requisite knowledge of what you are buying and what its value is so you are paying the appropriate amount of what it is you are buying. You cannot solely take comfort and trust in a dealers prescience and personality or some customer service provider stroking your ego while handing over your money for said item without understanding what you are getting for your money. Dealers are expert at negotiating and will make money on the transaction even if they can spend time shooting the breeze with you. Maybe you like your dealer because he doesn&#039;t understand the transaction as well as you do, so you get good deals. The vending machines dispensing gold may not be as good a deal as your local dealers, but the dynamics of pricing are different with the vending machine, as I explained earlier: convenience and other overhead costs being worked into the pricing. Most folks see the gold vending machine as the gimmick it is but fail to realize that it&#039;s not directly marketed at them. The media is marketing you with sensational stories to garner your attention to the media outlet. Most people will do better and find the best most responsibly priced bullion devoid of additional overhead, shipping and such, by buying from their local dealers or local coin shows at in person transactions. Others may find agreeable deals with direct mail orders if they have no local sources. No feathers have been ruffled in the discussion and responses herein. It&#039;s is just important to take these stories with a grain of salt and not deflect them with negative overtones that are suspicious of their products purity, security or impersonal nature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
