<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elijahhenry10, post: 1465344, member: 28374&quot;]I just want to share a little of my experience with THR:</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, they were just set up at a hotel near me the other day.&nbsp; I read the full page ad in the newspaper and thought,&quot;Why would someone NOT take their coins to them.......if they had no prior knowledge in coins.&quot;</p><p>1. They put the absolute maximum that they will pay for a coin type, leading people to believe that they might have something special.&nbsp; They then take their handful of mercury dimes to them, expecting to walk away with at least 50k, where they find out that their dimes are worth about $1.30 each(to the crooked buyers at least).&nbsp; They think about, realize that they aren&#039;t doing them any good sitting in their drawer, so they sell them.&nbsp; THR&#039;s high advertised prices draw people in.</p><p>2. Towards the end of their full page ad, it states that this might be the sellers only chance to get rid of their hard to sell coins.&nbsp; It takes only 2 minutes and twice as many brain cells to get on eBay and see that coins are not hard to sell at all!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for their buying kiosks and lack of employee education, I have one more story.&nbsp; At my local mall they had one of their stands set up.&nbsp; I walked up to the employee and asked what they were paying for 1/10th oz gold eagles.&nbsp; The employee told me that coins marked 1/10th oz. are fake and are worth nothing!?&nbsp; I argued with him for about 5 minutes that I am a coin collector, have been on the U.S. Mint&#039;s website and KNOW that they are real.&nbsp; Finally, he called his manager, where he found out that I was right and it wasn&#039;t fake.</p><p>He then proceeds to tell me that the best he could offer me was about $120.&nbsp; I told him that spot was at about $1700, and 1/10th oz. AGE trade for a premium over that.&nbsp; He told me that they have to buy under spot, because they send EVERYTHING that they buy off to be melted.&nbsp; He then tried to convince me that buying gold and silver is not a smart investment, because you won&#039;t make money until it doubles in price.&nbsp; Overall, I was quite a bit ticked at this guy until I walked away.&nbsp; I have a feeling that he was just angry because a 15 yr old knew more about what he was talking about then he did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, just my experience with the crooked thieves.&nbsp; Now everyone, ease quit posting so I can go to bed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
