<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 1669643, member: 22331&quot;]<b>A Microcosm Of Society</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m trying to view this thread as an objective aged observer watching this community as a microcosm of the world today. I can generally observe the attitudes/perspectives from naive youths to a naive old lady, with some biased males, and possibly a few wise women watching the fray, in the middle.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the attitudes, queries, suggestions, I believe are normal for this diverse community. If we view the situation objectively from afar, it should be found as a normal panoramic view of society. I don&#039;t believe anyone should be offended by the posts in the thread when considering the facts, or lack thereof presented in the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Biged presented a plausible senario which I&#039;ve experienced on numerous occasions as a presiding officer in several &quot;Senior&quot; organizations. The majority of participants are elderly women, most having lost their mates who handled financial affairs. Meetings are usually discussions of our next party rather than resolving financial or environmental/structural problems. They can&#039;t understand how a coin which was available in 1933 to mint employees for $20 could garner $7,000,000 from a group of men. They see their respected actors on television touting the new secure investment being Silver, and want to show their intelligence, investing in same by visiting a trust-worthy local B&amp;M establishment that must be honorable to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Experienced men might say that there isn&#039;t any regulation of local layperson PM sales, so what-ever price can be realized in their sales, is fair.</p><p><br /></p><p>An inexperienced youth might hear of this new unregulated financial world, asking why would an experienced senior purchase something that has a face value of 50 cents, commonly known as &quot;junk&quot;, for more than a maximum of melt value. However, they heard of dollars with mintage of &gt;million selling for 5-6 figure amounts. They conceivably are in disbelieve when an unsubstantiated occurrence is purported. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many have asked for substantiation of confusing facts? in the original post. Substantiation of facts is seemingly unavailable from an old lady who is now more concerned about a party than a refund, now that she has passed the responsibility to Biged. Many might say &quot;trust but verify&quot;, where I&#039;ve observed that &quot;don&#039;t trust but verify&quot; seems an applied credo which may have been applied here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Biged, my man, you&#039;ve done a great job!! I&#039;ve been there, done that, don&#039;t want the chore again. I don&#039;t know that we were of much assistance, as you located the appropriate Statutes. My hat is off to you :bow::bow:.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope that you&#039;ll present your findings to your friend, where she can implement whatever efforts are necessary for her satisfaction. I believe a violation of statute normally legally requires reporting of same to &quot;authorities&quot;. Since appropriate statute hasn&#039;t been verified, a personal presentation by her to the seller may result in an an equitable partial refund. Your presence may be of value to her when presenting, but you as an observer probably have little authority in the matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I trust that Biged and others aren&#039;t seriously offended by this seemingly normal interactive diverse process by our societal microcosm, and that an acceptable outcome will prevail. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
