[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 258979, member: 8247"]In the 2007 redbook this year, universal coin and bullion advertised a $10 ASE (included shipping). So I called to get it. The guy tried selling me some $20,000 of gold nonchalantly (only worth about $9,000 when I looked it up). I had read about these guys before I called, so I didn't even use the word yes throughout the conversation. Well about 2 weeks later the same guy called again trying to sell something. I never received the ASE, so I told I didn't want to deal with them anymore as they were unreliable. Low and behold he found my order held up by a computer glitch and promised I would get it this time. Funny thing was he didn't try to sell me something else in the same call. Well the next time they called, they tried to sell me $25 platinum coins. I forget their price, but I told them since I could buy them for the local dealer for half their price, I'll pass. They wouldn't take no for an answer so I hung up on them. They called again and tried to sell $25 gold coins for double their value. I pointed out that APMEX, MJPM, and the local flea market had better prices for the grade they claimed. They did make me hang up on them again, but they never called again. Of course it was after that call that I realized I should have gone the other way. I should have said that I had some $25 platinum coins (the same as in the previous call) that I needed to unload in order to buy the gold and ask how much they were paying. Would have been funny to hear their number in context with the previous sales call. For those that want to have the chance to put them in their place, the $10 ASE deal is still there and it's in the redbook. But I will tell you, it's not as much fun as I thought it would be. Although you do get to hang up on them everytime.[/QUOTE]
