    Hi Guys,

    Ive bought from SWB off ebay a few months ago with no dramas.

    Ive recently bought off their website & am happy with the products & quick service. I wanted to test it out because i'd rather order from home & have it delivered than drive to the Perth mint, pay for parking & wait around etc

    It looks like they have started up on ebay again aswell so maybe check this link out ......

    How many forum accounts were created to plug southwest bullion? That in itself is enough reason for me not to even visit their site.

    Do you know what a "sock puppet" is? :/

    When your first post on the forum is promoting another business, you come across at best as a sock puppet, at worst as a spammer.

    People buy and sell bullion on this forum based on trust, typically with Site Sponsors and members with established trading records with consistent positive feedback. When someone new pops up, and on their first post starts plugging a business that doesn't advertise or trade here, my BS alarm goes off.

    If SouthWest Bullion are so good, they might find that by becoming a Site Sponsor here, they'll get good business from forum members. Until then, I'm going to continue buying from Site Sponsors and other forum members with established trading records with consistent positive feedback.

    2nd post it didn't take long for another newbie who claimed in opening statement to be asking for any tips from Silverstackers, yet it seems
    the person is giving Silverstackers a tip.

    I think we all get it!! You guys don't wish to try southwest bullion. Not sure why you are picking on the newbies either. Itsnt this a forum where we all share the same thing. Stacking!!! Each to there own, people will buy where ever they want.

    Looks to me like this is comment is a spruke to only buy from 'silver stackers sponsors', which has my alarm bells going off that all these negative comments are just trying to discourage people from buying elsewhere. Or encourage SWB to pay & become a sponsor before they will be welcome on this forum???

    I am new to the forum & made no secret of that but my opinions are my own ....I only answered a previous question asking if anyone had bought from SWB successfully before....which i have & will continue to do.

    More a case of common sense says it's too good to be true.

    1. Prices lower than wholesale.
    2. At least two new forum accounts created to leave positive comments (in their first post).
    3. They don't have a physical address listed on their website.

    Unless you can prove otherwise. Smells like a scam to me.

    That might be his opinion ,there are other dealers out there that are not site sponsers
    Just because they are NOT a sponsor doesn't mean they are dodgey
    Us Melbourne bunch are a close community & nobody ( of the long term members ) has dealt them
    We have dealers here who are not sponsors ;)
    :D

    Ok just checked out this southwest bullion website for myself to see what all the fuss was about. I price matched afew of their products with another well known bullion dealers website and found SW's to be higher on every product I checked.

    Respect is hard earned and easily lost.
    Didnt mean to say thanks to your post, consider it retracted.

    So what did everyone write when they 1st signed up?
    How they hated prices being cheaper than other companies?

    So what am i supposed to do, say that iv had a negative experience when I haven't?

    Hobbies come and go and this is fairly new to me.

    Think what you like, this is my opinion and im entitled to it. Was just trying to let people know that I had a good experience and thought that was what this forum was about?
    Obviously got that wrong by saying 3 'positive' comments on SWB

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I thought I'd add my experience on SWB for anyone that comes past later.

    I ordered some of the latest Zombuck designs through their website as I couldn't find anyone else onshore (Oz) that was selling them.

    I had no problems at all, communication was good and items arrived well packaged and each bullion coin was in a capsule.

    Not sure how much authority my opinion carries on here but that was my experience, I'll buy from them again unless someone else (namely a site sponsor) is bringing in the Zombucks at a comparable price.

    on this subject, although prob unlikely in this particular instance, but is it possible for an ebay vendor like this to speculate and offer silver below spot with long lead times in what looks like a depreciating metal? ie pocket the difference?
