<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1261688, member: 13650&quot;]Yeah, I&#039;m not surprised.&nbsp;&nbsp; I keep waiting for the big crash that never seems to happen as the years go by.&nbsp;&nbsp; Was just looking around the US mint website and saw they&#039;re selling 2011 1 oz AGEs for $2,135.00 now.&nbsp; &nbsp; I just paused for a moment and wondered how many people in the US could possibly afford one of these anymore?&nbsp; &nbsp; It was barely a year ago, you could get them for around $1,100.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Officially, there&#039;s about 10% of the US unemployed which is likely closer to 20%.&nbsp;&nbsp; Over 50% of the population have low enough incomes to where they don&#039;t have to pay any income taxes in.&nbsp; They&#039;re not buying any.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Now you look at the less than 50% of the population that is left.&nbsp;&nbsp; How many are even interested in buying them?&nbsp; Who&#039;s making enough to buy them?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The wife and I make a pretty good living for how bad things are, but still.&nbsp; Even if all the bills were paid, it&#039;d be a major investment to buy a single AGE these days.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; One AGE is now worth more than my coin budget for an average year.&nbsp;&nbsp; I collect, would like to buy one and make decent money.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how they can keep going up at this pace, to be honest.&nbsp; &nbsp; Gold may keep going higher but there won&#039;t be many people left who can afford any gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
