Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1751906, member: 36230"]I beg to differ, young sir. If I understand you correctly, you claim to have purchased two different lots: one with approx. 18.1toz for $100 and the other with approx. 11.6 for $60. While I would be a hypocrite if I decried wholesale buying, this is not wholesale; its plan thievery. You claim to have had the other child's parental permission to sell to you, so may I ask if you - with redbook in-hand - made them aware of the present (spot) value for his metal? There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you, if this claim is even true, made no effort to inform them because you know full well that they would have looked out for their child's best interest, which surely was not being scammed by you. You easily could have offered to pay a fair-yet-low-wholesale amount and still made a fine profit, but greed got the best of you and it is as simple as that. Had it not, you would not be trying to justify your actions. I’ve been around a long time and have had the displeasure of seeing all types of little kiddy games. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back now, but understand that sooner or later people will talk and you’ll be found out. You took these children for what is (to a youth) likely a significant amount of money, and they surely will not be pleased to learn that someone they probably trusted took advantage of them. Kids can be a cruel lot and I fear you may learn this the hard way.[/QUOTE]
