<p>[QUOTE="Jess, post: 860, member: 77"]You are right in the respect that you can't buy honesty. You either are or not. I was on;y referring to the treasure chests segment of QVC and HSN. If you listen to this guys sells pitch, he makes it sound if you are really getting a grea deal and you ar getting a great deal of junk. About a buck 85 in silver for 29.95 and 6.95 shipping and handling. No matter what is said that is a rip off and targeted toward the noncollector making it sound like a great investment with tremendous potential and it gives honest dealers trying to make a living a bad name. I am not a dealer and know full well what most go thru to make a decent living. Shipping coins at melt to make their rent. Occasionally they even sell a coin or two. Rent and utilities is a tough nut to crack. Here is a peron on TV going to give you the world in a wooden treasure chest and guess what they sell out each time they offer them. Ten years down the road someone is going to remember the treasure chest and sell it for 12 bucks if lucky. Enough I am beating a dead horse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
