<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1462931, member: 75105&quot;]I agree.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a jar of wheat cents from an elderly lady. Your &quot;associates&quot; offered her face value for them. Yes, one cent each. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, is that by any means fair? No it&#039;s not.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can say your &quot;honest&quot; all you want, but let&#039;s take a look at one of your ads.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/GEDC0190.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>8 times face for a silver half dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>This image was taken July 19th. At the time, silver was $40.00 an ounce. </p><p><br /></p><p>A half dollar melted for $14.47. Even then, the &quot;dealers&quot; that you speak of, were paying 20 times face, or $10 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>EVERY Coin dealer in a 50 mile radius was paying 20 times face.</p><p><br /></p><p>But no, your paying Eight. That speaks loads about your &quot;honesty and integrity&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Notaliar&quot;? Well you claim to be paying &quot;more than most dealers&quot;. However you were paying up to 8 times face for silver half dollars. Since all dealers were paying 20x, that makes<b> YOU </b>a liar, not us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Up to $6,750 for a Barber half dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm...that seems like a lot, but you forgot the 1904-S Barber half, which retails for $19,000 alone in MS-63.</p><p><br /></p><p>See, <b>I&#039;m not stupid,</b> and most of us on here are not. I can read your whole outfit like a book.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact alone that you operate under a <b>multitude of names</b> is a huge red flag for ANYONE that knows a thing or two about business. </p><p><br /></p><p>See, you make a name for yourself, and set up at a few places. If the word &quot;Slips&quot; and a few people find out what kind of jip joint you really are, then the reputation for your name starts to stink.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you make up a new name, and then operate under that, so people don&#039;t know about your bad name.</p><p><br /></p><p>In your defense, you say that the entire misfortune you brought to people by ripping them off is due to &quot;a few of your employees&quot;, and acting like this is an isolated incident. </p><p><br /></p><p>You also back up your claims by pulling the old &quot;this is a free country&quot; argument out of your hat, claiming that restaurants charge $2.25 for a soft drink that costs them 10 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>While that may or not be true, your already starting out by placing blame on others, making everyone forget that YOUR in the wrong here.</p><p><br /></p><p>See, when you point a finger at someone, you have 3 pointing back at you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone with an IQ over 5 can look at on the internet to see the numerous complaints people have against your business. Your story of a few employees acting like idiots is ridiculous and completely absurd.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also seem to paint dealers with a wide brush, acting like they all rip people off.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of coin dealers are honest, hard working folks. Heck there are even a few on this forum that have a good name for themselves. </p><p><br /></p><p>But your company, on the other hand, is a complete and utter scam. You pay little for everything. When a dealer pays 60%, you pay 30%, trying to scrape as much dollar off the customer as you can, making them feel good while you operate behind a shroud of dishonesty. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then you come onto this forum, backing your company with ridiculous statements that seem to put everyone else but you in the &quot;scammer&quot; bucket. </p><p><br /></p><p>While we are at it, I would like to direct everyone&#039;s attention to this link:</p><p><a href="http://crossville-chronicle.com/local/x960646700/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-checks-bounce" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://crossville-chronicle.com/local/x960646700/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-checks-bounce" rel="nofollow">http://crossville-chronicle.com/local/x960646700/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-checks-bounce</a></p><p><a href="http://crossville-chronicle.com/local/x960646700/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-checks-bounce" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://crossville-chronicle.com/local/x960646700/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-checks-bounce" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Seems like the THR was so caught up in ripping people off, they seem to forgot that they ran out of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a good read too:</p><p><a href="http://register-news.com/local/x912868996/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-facing-lawsuit" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://register-news.com/local/x912868996/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-facing-lawsuit" rel="nofollow">http://register-news.com/local/x912868996/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-facing-lawsuit</a></p><p><a href="http://register-news.com/local/x912868996/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-facing-lawsuit" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://register-news.com/local/x912868996/Treasure-Hunters-Roadshow-facing-lawsuit" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s save the best for last:</p><p><a href="http://www.wwaytv3.com/bbb_warns_treasure_hunter_roadshow_could_be_pirates_your_possessions/09/2010" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wwaytv3.com/bbb_warns_treasure_hunter_roadshow_could_be_pirates_your_possessions/09/2010" rel="nofollow">http://www.wwaytv3.com/bbb_warns_treasure_hunter_roadshow_could_be_pirates_your_possessions/09/2010</a></p><p><a href="http://www.wwaytv3.com/bbb_warns_treasure_hunter_roadshow_could_be_pirates_your_possessions/09/2010" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wwaytv3.com/bbb_warns_treasure_hunter_roadshow_could_be_pirates_your_possessions/09/2010" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Remember your username is &quot;not a liar&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well:</p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b><p style="text-align: left"><font face="Lucida Grande">The Treasure Hunters Roadshow told us they are accredited with the Better Business Bureau.
