[QUOTE="Lev99, post: 4987663, member: 103627"]I remember I had a relative that used to get flyers like this. Every once in a while they’d actually send him a good deal that he wanted to buy.

They’d either tell him “we’re sorry we are sold out, but we do have this other rare coin for only $3k in stock just for you”, or they would take his credit card information and they would never process the order and he would never get it. The coin they wanted to upsell him was way overpriced, like worth $2k instead of $3k. And I think the other times they never processed the order he’d call them back and would get some excuse on why it wasn’t sent, or they would say oh yea we’ll send it, and they STILL never would. He did this more than 1 occasion and it was very unusual for him to get what was advertised. Someone has enough money to send out slick flyers to thousands of people on a mailing list and I’m sure it’s not because they’re losing money. I think it’s good you reach out and ask the community. There’s a lot of people that don’t and find out after spending way too much money just how bad they got burned. If you want to dabble in expensive coins it’s best to go to a coin show and see what the collectors buy and look around. Other coin shops have inventory online where you can just add a coin to your cart and buy it like anything else online. If you want you can message, or maybe request someone message you for places to look online. Good luck.[/QUOTE]
