[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1008128, member: 112"]Some shady middleman ? Can you please tell me exactly what it is that makes them "shady" in your eyes ? Or is that you consider every wholesaler to be "shady " regardless of what they sell ? The term "shady" has a lot of negative conotations. It implies that the person or persons it refers to as doing something that is, if not illegal, then at the least unethical or immoral. So what exactly is it that these "shady middlemen", as you call them, are doing to warrant such a charge ? As for your other suggestion - can you tell em even one example where the govt. has ever in recorded history been able to anything as cheaply or as efficiently as private enterprise does it ? I'll wager you can't. Therefore, if the govt. followed your suggestion and cut out the "shady middlemen" and sold the bullion directly to the public, one thing would happen. Your cost for those same Silver Eagles would go up. Now how is that of any benefit to you ?[/QUOTE]
