<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 338575, member: 2972&quot;]Please don&#039;t put words into my mouth.&nbsp; I never called anyone stupid or greedy.&nbsp; I also never casted &quot;aspersions&quot; at anyone&#039;s character, unless you find the truth (as I see it) damaging.&nbsp; I did, however, call into question your sales technique, and I stand by each and every word I wrote.&nbsp; If you find my words or opinions slanderous/libelous, please feel free to sue me, but please be advised for something to be slanderous/libelous it must be untrue.</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer your question directly as to why someone would &quot;hold on to them&quot; -- I&#039;ve provided several examples of why these coins could be more common than you are suggesting, and only one of them includes an overt action of holding on to coins purposefully.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry if you don&#039;t like my answers, I&#039;m sorry if you think that&#039;s being pessimistic, I&#039;m sorry if that makes these coins not such a great investment, but having seen more than a few of these types of deals over the years, I would call it <i>realistic</i> not <i>pessimistic</i>.&nbsp; But then again that&#039;s only my opinion, and I am entitled to it just as you are to yours.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Setting opinion aside for a moment, it is interesting to note that the first time you advertised the coins (ref: <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=30561" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=30561" rel="nofollow">http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=30561</a> ), there were only 200, yet by your own admission you &quot;immediately bought 500&quot; (somehow you left that little tidbit out of your November advertisement), and now, low and behold, there are 800.&nbsp; Also, when you first advertised these coins they &quot;won&#039;t last long&quot;, yet now three months later they are still very much available.&nbsp; Very interesting....</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, thank you for answering my question.&nbsp; I see you&#039;ve purchased none of these coins that you think are a great investment, and you won&#039;t purchase back the coins you sell (and who said anything about puchasing them for more money than you sold them -- I think DUI4U would be more than happy to get his money back).&nbsp; That, in and of itself, is all the answer I needed, but I&#039;ll let others decide for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Listen, I&#039;m all for profit and I can understand the pressures of feeding your family, but when one hypes up coins with half-truths and favorable comparisons is when I start to take issue -- and I have no skin in this game other than looking out for other collector&#039;s best interests as my posting history here and elsewhere has proven.&nbsp; Can you say the same?</p><p><br /></p><p>With that, I&#039;m done with this thread.&nbsp; My point has been made -- the half-truths, changing stories, and misrepresentations are here for all to read and decide for themselves -- but please feel free to have the last word...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
