<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1682503, member: 41665&quot;]BIG PICTURE here.&nbsp; (I have no horse in this race, either.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve watched their vids, you know M2 is a TINY outfit. I counted 10 guys - and when they get slammed, the PR guy and the investor guy are also working the machines. <i>Sweatin&#039;!&nbsp; </i>Common sense dictates you NOT expect expedited service, lots of hand-holding, bells &amp; whistles, etc. Large lot orders get priority... yet there are still delays.&nbsp; This is exactly what you&#039;ll get from a small private mint producing artisanal bullion rounds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Might make me sound like an oldster (I&#039;m not) but once-upon-a-time, rational people understood that &#039;things take time&#039; and are always done to scale (big customers come first, etc.)&nbsp; In the age of the internet, uninformed or unrealistic consumers expect small operators to produce with the same cost- and efficiency-optimization of Amazon or whatever. WRONG!&nbsp; These mom-&amp;-pop micro-firms are not ever going to able to deliver everything: high-turnaround, high-touch AND discount prices. You (we) just need to understand, period.</p><p><br /></p><p>BIN? ya, head to Provident, APMEX, etc. or Feebay and pay the one-sies premium. That&#039;s fair, actually.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Someone else suggested a) become a distributor yourself or b) organize a buyers club.&nbsp; Both are sensible ideas, and Mulligan Mint&#039;s &quot;move&quot; was quite appropriate too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Can you imagine how disruptive the silver stackers&#039; repeat calling &amp; emailing must be against <i>production demands</i>?&nbsp; NIGHTMARE.&nbsp; The want-want whining of spoiled children coveting <i>a single shiny medallion</i> and expecting it last month would drive me nuts![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
