Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7677144, member: 105098"]there was a guy I worked with, we were talking and he figured out I was a coin collector and knew values of gold and silver and stuff. next day he comes in with a half dozen 1oz PAMP bars, asking me what I thought and invariably, if I'd buy them. Every one of them was fake, how do I know all 6 were fakes? All 6 had the same C number on the bars. There's other ways to tell of course but that's a dead giveaway. But rather than shatter his dreams or argue, I said no thanks it's not in my budget, that they are nice and he's so lucky, and for him to keep them and wait for gold to go up and sell them to any of the "we buy gold" places, and then wait for gold to go down and rebuy new ones which he played along with and dropped the sales pitch. No point in arguing with the delusional. there doesn't need to be two crazy people. and if he doesn't know they are fakes, I'm not the guy to make him face reality about it, but I'm sure he knew. LOL if he goes to sell them and honestly doesn't know, then the "we buy gold" guys can be the ones to break it to him.[/QUOTE]
