<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AlexN2coins2004, post: 758499, member: 19049&quot;]Yea some dealers are just rip off artists looking for the next mark to rip off.</p><p>Looking for profit, ANY profit whether its good or bad for the Numismatic community. Some of those dealers are people who we think are the good dealers that just decide to start ripping off newbies to coins/bullion.</p><p>The best defense to this is to be proactive. Learn all you can and understand how the business works. There is nothing wrong with paying over spot price for bullion if it&#039;s the right kind of bullion.</p><p>ASE&#039;s are probably the best for any newbie in the U.S.A. or anywhere else really. But you shouldn&#039;t be paying more then $2 over spot for any silver unless it&#039;s limited production by some factors involved. Also it should be a well known type of bullion such as the ASE or Maples.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bottom line is people are people and even the best of us can and often do fail at times. I&#039;m not saying trust no one but an education is so you don&#039;t need to rely on anyone but yourself. So watch your butt and pick up a book. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
