Maybe that he is buying too much of "unknown" on ebay...

Either he is smart and will try to recover the gold, new enough to think he can buy cheap gold, or just sees gold in his eyes and nothing else. He only joined in October but seems to have money and paid my auctions as soon as my auctions ended. We have all seen junk gold on ebay sell for high amounts maybe he is betting on future re-sales.
 
He's the new breed on ebay. The fish! Your right Joem he bought your book. I noticed that to. I've been doing research about the market over on ebay because of all the problems that have been occurring here on the forum and in the industry as a whole. Not just people stealing info from here, but the whole way scammers have taken over the NEW gold rush over there and the way it ties into the forum. A whole lot of things are starting to come into focus for me, as well as people, that i just didn't pay attention to before or even knew existed before now. I bet i've track several hundred peoples buying habits, who they bought from, what they bought, why they bought, and the profit margins involved, and so on and so on. I'm studying the reasoning behind the phenomena. He also contacted me about refining all that stuff. Yeah........... now how do you think my returns would work out against the stuff he bought and what he paid for it? I will tell you how. He would be disappointed and i would be labeled dishonest for having stole his gold. But i payed such and such for all this therefore since i payed so much for this crap it must be worth at least more than i paid or why would they sell it for that price. I was robbed by the refiner he will say. I've found some interesting things about some people from the forum here also. I'll keep that quiet for now. You know who you are and so do i now! I've also got one that is fixing to bust wide open tomorrow i think here on the forum. It's between a member here and what kind of refining or morals he's been using in his business ethics with others outside the forum. This don't involve me though i've tried to kind of help resolve it. This is someone else's on making and not mine. I had nothing to do with it except accidentally running into it head on. Anyway i'm still researching to help formulate my little plan for ebay and the entity it's became. Boy is it a mess over there.
 
START UP PLAN
1. Finding investor
2. Building boat equipment and setup
3. Double check BLM rules and regulations for ocean dredging get any permits needed

i personnaly get very amused by the fact that making sure you can do it only came in 3 place... one investor gonna feel stupid when he will discover that he own two crappy boat with no use.

Hey Palladium, I've been in the other shoe, and it was not sweet, that's why i don't trust NZ refiners. Sent in, for refining, 950g of mixed stuff, melted bar, or should i say dirty dirty gold and silver bar. :roll:

I received a report telling me my gold and silver were way under my estimated values, maybe they were correct values, maybe i was wrong in my estimation, regardless, i made enquiries, told them i was not happy and could i have my sample back and i would pay for the analytical work done and could they send me an invoice. What i got in the mail was the invoice and a bar that looked more like copper and it was 150g heavier. :shock:

Actual numbers have changed due to senility and ...... something else :lol:, it's the large difference in weight that i am trying to convey.

Still trying to work that one out.

All refiners have always had a license to steal. Whether they do it or not, and to what extent, is always up to them and whatever the traffic will bear in that particular situation. As a refiner friend of mine often said, sending material to a refiner is like having an unknown amount of money in a sealed envelope and hiring someone you don't know to go into a private room and count it for you.

That doesn't seem right at all. Leave me positive feedback now, so I can scam others later?
Selling quality goods at a reasonable price with great customer service should be the route sellers use to achieve the good standing they wish to portray to future customers. In my opinion anyway.
 
That is against rules, buyer cant demand feedback and surely not before transaction is finished or in exchange for goods or services.
 
Has anybody seen these copper globs they are selling on flebay as melted pins and such. I think what they are doing is melting copper drops and then dipping it in a gold plating solution to give it that shine. I've tested one that was sent me. I had a poor fellow contact me that had bought quiet a bit to say the least. He wanted me to refine his pot of gold! I sent him on his way. Seen that one coming a mile away.
 
Interesting Ebay link and concept. Is it someone here?
