Yes, rawdog has more come backs than a heavy weight boxer, in the end it's a story with the silver price trend and that was also a crazy jojo. Sub spot silver is nearly impossible to find here. I only managed it once, for a good-looking sterling conmemorative coin, 25 Dollar 25th Anniversary of Coronation 1978 136.08 gram 0.925, on ebay, with the seller was happy with 2/3 of spot back then. I searched for the coin, and he probably confused it with another coin that had less silver. And I checked alot, so it's not like that I could have missed such cheapskates. Probably your auction sites/region is different in that aspect. Here people are willing to pay more for junk than for new bullion at dealers. Especially the 18xx large silver coins of the Latin coin union are extremely popular here. In such a degree that since 2012 I focussed on buying those instead of bullion. My stockpile of them tripled, but compared to bullion, it's still peanuts, simply because they're hard to find in bigger lots and reasonable price. Bullion you can order any day, but this junk, not. It could be that your cheap silver was along ebay, since that system rather forces to sell, and if the seller didnt use keywords very well and is uninformed about silver, one may 'sneak' away with a bargain.
I missed this thread's 3rd appearance in April but yes, House, I say what I do (sometimes) and do what I say (mostly). This week I've made a small purchase of silver for under AUD$700/kg - which I guess makes me a reborn silverstacker and qualified to travel outside the climate change thread?
Congrats on your support of the mining industry, and it's use of copious amounts of fossil fuel to tear up and pillage mother-nature's landscape, then process the ore using toxic cyanide solution, all for the purpose of profiting from your purchase of a nice bit of bling. You are now one of the norm. You are also relieved of any environmentalist propaganda or campaigning you previously felt was your obligated duty.
Ooh, good timing. I learnt the name of your logical fallacy today. It is a Tu quoque, an appeal to hypocrisy:
Love it SilverPete! I applaud you. You are absolutely correct. You should put this in the "Word of the day" thread! :lol: While I clearly see the appeal to hypocrisy, I don't understand the reference fallacy? Sounds more like a lame argument, invented by a humanities life-academic, in defence of someone who yabbers BS all day, only to undertake the opposite of what they preach, and still expect to be taken seriously. Come to think of it, I suppose it could be applied generously to most environmental activists, religious zealots, and those who constantly prophesise that they are preserving wealth through PM ownership.
Everyone pisses you off hey wrcmad.. Environmentalists, religious people and stackers.. I'm all of things LoL
hahaha. Thank you wrcmad I was happy to have the opportunity to use a new found word. Nicely done. :lol: You got quite a few additional ones in there. I tip my hat to you sir.
No, not everyone Just environmentalists, religious people, and socialists. :lol: I like stackers... I am one.
So to fulfill your role as a stereotype, you must conform to the stereotype? :/ Source: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/
