<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaliar, post: 1462245, member: 38576&quot;]You know, whatever you may have found about a THR employee lying about a piece is an isolated incident with a poor manager. THR employees are not told to lie about what a customer has, and I personally never have. It&#039;s no reason to bring down an entire company for the bad judgment of a few bad apples. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are just looking for a sensationalized story for T.V. ratings.&nbsp; I get it.&nbsp; If price is your issue, why don&#039;t you go investigate every restaurant who charges their customers $2.25 for a soft drink that costs them under ten cents? On average we pay higher than our competitors, and I don&#039;t believe it should be yours or anyone elses business that we negotiate a deal that works for both parties involved.&nbsp; I have worked with many people in this company and never found anyone lying about whether something was gold or not, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We provide a service. Money today! If you want full retail price, go sell it to an individual yourself.&nbsp; We make a profit on what we buy.&nbsp; Look at a check cashing place or a credit card company. They make you pay money for money! Time is money. We take time out of the equation on your end. What that is worth is debatable, and thats where negotiation comes into play.&nbsp; We negotiate the price for OUR services, we cannot make your property more valuable.&nbsp; So when we offer more, we are getting less, but if it&#039;s still profitable for the company we will do it. Like using a coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond! </p><p><br /></p><p>So, before you go slamming a legitimate business, think about what you&#039;re really doing.&nbsp; If its rip offs you are protecting people from, the ONLY defense is EDUCATION about the items they have and are wanting to sell, and most importantly COMPETITION. Competition is what drives prices down. If we were the only gold buyer there was we could pay whatever we want for it and get it every time. The more gold buyers there are (and there are a lot more around nowadays) the higher prices we have to pay, because customers can shop around. That&#039;s business and believe me, we come into towns and beat local shops prices regularly.&nbsp; That&#039;s why THEY don&#039;t want us around and lobby to make unconstitutional laws keeping us out.&nbsp; Because THEY want to rip you off and don&#039;t want the competiton.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So in conclusion: Nobody has left our shows without receiving a more than fair offer for their items. Any potential fraud must be isolated incidents by either naive managers (that are most likely gone as we have downsized considerably), or greedy idiots who don&#039;t understand how to do business (and are most likely gone). The vast majority of THR employees are fair and honest and will never tell you that something gold is not gold. That is stupid and will not get you anywhere anyway. Do we do our best to negotiate a good deal for the company? Of course, so does everybody. But we are no different than any other business trying to turn a profit. Why don&#039;t you go investigate the investment bankers, or Wall Street, or the Federal Reserve or something that actually matters? Leave THR to be a part of the competitive gold and silver buying market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
