    I very seriously doubt that. I have been a member since 2011 and I am no fan of Bullion dealers, but I agree, that JMB is at no way at fault. In fact IMHO you are disparaging both members of this forum and a reputable dealer,

    +1 to that and thanks....all of the class of 2015 are not that bad...I may have joined this past year but I am not a newbie and it can be insulting when older members do not welcome new members to the forum and I stopped engaging on this site before because of it.

    This is nothing new. People from various companies do this online anywhere they can. There have been people from the Royal Mint and Apmex among others on these forums years before. There's no cause for alarm, so keep calm and keep stacking.

    I just went and read your thread. Wow. If I were you I would not be drawing more attention to it.

    I joined in 2015. I do not have any affiliations with any bullion companies. There is only 1 company I have ever bought from online before. I won't mention their name but I will buy from them again. FYI it's not JMB.

    Some people think you can put a brush fire out using a large fan and gasoline. I try to stay as far away from them as I can.

    I joined in 2015 as well. Shilling for bullion companies hasn't crossed my mind, but now that I've thought it out, I wonder if it could be a strategy to get collectors to spend all their money on bullion instead of on coins, so that the prices on what I collect would drop. Hmmm

    Paranoia fits the bullion community well. Don't let distracting thoughts decide how you choose to invest or collect. There's always someone out there who wants to paint their company in the best light and who want's to retain the most customers they can, be it bullion, numismatics, clothing, cars, food, etc.

    I also joined to post a response to the original thread as I have only been a forum reader until now. As I stated in the previous thread my limited number of transactions with jmb have all been positive. That said I have also been buying from other online sources and have not had a problem yet. My only complaint lately is the premiums I paid at a local coin shop and got to pay sales tax as well. Call me a schill if it makes you feel better, but I'll sleep with clear conscious tonight.

    PS: you'd have call me a lot worse then a schill to hurt my feelings.

    Well Danr, you have done the one thing that has never been done before on this forum. To get stackers and non-stackers to be in 100% agreement :)
