[QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 2837334, member: 20082"]First of all, to try to break this topic down into black and white or near absolutes is probably a waste of time. Most of that is because nobody has the same situation, goals or objectives as you have. Your #1 is trying to make something an absolute which may not be true. You don't know how or why people invest the way they do and it's probably not your place to give that advice. Your #2 is wrong because often enough collectibles in PMs will see a premium increase. You're trying to see the results using a very narrow perspective that your only way to recoup your capital is by using spot price as the only variable. You're missing the collectibility of some items, changes in the market of collectibles and other factors. #3 is correct, but that would mean sellers would need to do their homework before they sell and make intelligent decisions. Unfortunately not everyone does that. I'm also not sure advice is a often sought after. Offering up your opinion, experience or observations is probably a good idea, but giving somebody very specific advice might not be the best idea, especially if you're not an expert and I don't know any true experts when it comes to bullion.[/QUOTE]
