Ha! I think it was Nate that posted about this book earlier this year. There were dozens of them on Amazon for $2-$3 a piece. I planned on getting a copy but i procrastinated...

Now look at the price!!!

What does this say about the general public and silver?

If someone wants my copy, Id be willing to let it go for a 90% half shipped :D

But seriously, I think I paid about 6 bucks for it. I can mail it for a couple bucks so 8 or 10 and you can have my copy or first person to me for a silver half or 10 bucks can have it

You could check out the library, that is where I borrowed mine from.

I borrowed mine from the library, then bought a copy to keep from Amazon (used) under $9 with shipping. Lot's of worthwhile info in there, and btw, what stimulated me to pick up the BU rolls (selected dates) that I was doing back at 15-16X face. You're right, Chris... knowledge IS power! Although that might not be your strongest suit Image

One of the benefits of going to college - my local community college's library is connected to a few dozen other collegiate libraries around Missouri. A few clicks and I can have that book sent over to me at no charge. That is, after I get done with the couple of thrillers I'm reading now.

Darn, i should have been more entrepreneurial. Instead of selling it for a 90% half, I should rent it for a 40% half so I could keep bringing in that silver , jk
