    QualitySilverBullion sells a bag of fractional rounds totaling 21.25oz. They claim in their description that this price is 5% off of the normal price for these items. However they used a tiered pricing model. If you were to add these same items into your cart individually they come up to only $9ish more than the kit. Meaning the kit is only 2% off the price for the same amount of items added to the cart.

    So If this is your pricing model
    1-10 coins - $2 Each
    11-20 coins - $1.75 Each

    Do you think its honest to offer a package of 20 coins for $36 and claim that they're 10% off their normal price?

    Come back to us when you can get your story straight would be a great start so you can get a definitive answer.

    1 - First line you say they claim 5% then you close by saying they claim 10%
    2 - whats that pricing model? price over spot? cost of actual item? postage costs?
    3 - Most if not all dealers work on a tiered system.

    Wow, could you be anymore rude?

    The first paragraph was explaining QSBs "deal" on their website.

    The rest of what I typed was a hypothetical scenario. I didn't think I'd needed to literally write *Disclaimer: The following is a hypothetical scenario" in order for you to answer the question proposed at the end of the post.

    You seem to be confusing blunt with rude.

    Rude would be telling you that you are a moron who can't even get his facts correct.....see the difference now?

    Well that's what I wanted to know. Specifically if anyone else thought of it as BS. I think they should either change their advertising or be forced to honor the deal posted on their website.


    You weren't being blunt. You were being condescending and rude just as you are now. Your post count and time on this board are no excuse for your behavior. If you can't act civil then just don't post.

    Im sorry but who are you to think you know better than the person delivering it what was meant?
    Your opinions of what occurred differ from what actually occurred.
    When you get the chance take off the rose coloured glasses and unwrap yourself from your cotton wool...poor little lamby lamb.

    I asked questions relevant to assisting you but if you want to carry on like a pork chop about your hurt feelings rather than provide pertinent answer that's your own damn choice.

    No you didn't.

    First you make an untrue statement. I never made a claim that QSB offered their product at a 10% discount.

    Then you ask 4 questions that are not "relevant to assisting" me. After giving you the following figures:
    1-10 coins - $2 Each
    11-20 coins - $1.75 Each
    I then ask "Do you think its honest to offer a package of 20 coins for $36 and claim that they're 10% off their normal price?" This wasn't a claim against QSB. It was a simple math problem the solution of which I wanted to know your opinion on.

    Then you make a second statement that isn't relevant to my original question.

    My feelings aren't hurt. I'm just disgusted that you'd start your post with the comment of "getting my story straight". Then you continue to make passive aggressive comments. It's immature and from a quick search of your 2k-ish posts it seems to be your overall personality. You have to right to act that way. Just don't label it as "assistance".


    Back to the OP...

    QSB is advertising their Silver Barter Kit as 5% off of their normal price.

    *Hypothetical Figures*

    The Kit = $100
    Adding the coins to the cart individually = $102 (At Tier 2 pricing)

    The price of the kit is only 2% discount from the normal price of those coins. However if all of those coins cost $102 at the 2nd tier price then the kit which gives a 5% discount be priced at $96. I may be interpreting it their wording incorrectly but if "X" amount of coins falls within a different price tier then I believe that's the price that should be discounted.

    sfstacker - no rudeness intended but you are a whiny little b

    First line of your opening post you say 5%, closing line you say 10%.

    The rest of your blithering tear filled rant isn't worth reading.
    Build a bridge champ.

    You misinterpreted what was said and started to rant about it. Grow up. Stop posting in this thread if you're just going to continue to argue.

    I guess you're writing about this item
    https://qualitysilverbullion.com/pr...al-110-14-12-walking-liberty-999-fine-silver/

    Yeah, the math does not add up. You could write that in comments for the item or contact dealer.

    You could also delete the second half of your original post, since the math is different there. It just adds confusion.

    But for that (totally different) question, I would say that one of the offers on the site would be redundant. If dealer uses a tiered pricing model then there is no need for packs of 20.
