[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1959624, member: 36230"]Something smells rather bad about this whole thing. Earlier it was... But now he just wants "[I]to add to [his] collection[/I]", just as in the OP he wanted to "[I]poach[/I]" not only from gold buyers as later claimed, but also "[I]collectors/sellers[/I]" from "[I]business owners/vendors[/I]" at anywhere from a "[I]coin shop, flea market, silver/gold buyers event etc[/I]".
