<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 448568, member: 6370"]They made profit already at lower margins so if there is more demand then you can charge less, wal-mart and volume sales equals lower prices. Of course the free market is effecting it, thats my complaint, people are turning to gold and people know they will pay higher amounts. I dont know if there is a huge shortage of Krugerrands as I see plenty for sale but just much higher prices...certainly, you could say that about anything...it doesnt do any good to complain...but I do anyway since I was buying plenty and cheap not long ago. I am more than happy to buy gold at a bit over spot simply because I like to have them in coins but I dont want to pay 100 over it. So I cant buy Krugerrands cheap any more, so I complain <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I just thought with the nice dip in prices I might be able to snatch up some more closer to 700 than 800. </p><p> </p><p>I guess though, you are right, if people are snatching it up then those of us cheap bastids that dont arent a big loss. Hotels hike prices because they know they have people that MUST stay in hotels for a certain amount of time, so prices go up for those weeks. Nobody MUST buy gold but I guess they will...I look at them as longer term investment and dont sell it even when the price went up to 1000, hundreds more than I paid. It goes up and down and in the long run always up. But I am on the hunt for some cheaper gold, they dont have to be pretty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
