[QUOTE="clembo, post: 417219, member: 8033"]Big advertising is big money to magazines so as long as the money flows in they'll be allowed to advertise. This was pretty much covered already. Now a clembo story. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...... In May of this year a guy came in with some gold coins to sell. Paid good money from a firm in Texas I believe. High grade stuff - until he had to sell it. MAN! Polished junk! $2-1/2 and $5 Indians that are now bullion. Guy was not happy of course. We explained and even showed him examples of "real" coins. Well, he sold and lost a ton. He's obviously been stewing about this for a while as he called last week asking for a copy of the check he was given when the boss bought this stuff. My memory is a bit better than the boss's so I recognize him when he comes in. I also remember the condition of the coins purchased. We get him a copy of the check. Seems the guy intends to sue the company he bought these from. Just so happens we have a few of these coins still at the shop. We said we'd keep them for him. The boss has also offered to testify as an "expert" witness. Apparently he's done it before. Since I remembered I would be his backup. How cool would that be? Who knows what may happen but the bottome line is people need to know what they are buying. If they don't they shouldn't buy. If they do and it's falsely represented they should return it.[/QUOTE]
