Group Buys
Posted: Sun May 25, 2014 1:01 pmAs a fair sized number of you know, two group buys have begun with myself as the leader of them. The first one, completed, was a success, and as far as I know I haven't any complaints. The second one is still in progress as far as funds coming in and the actual buy being executed.
The passion for these things is to be part of a larger whole, to clear minimums set by the several mints, take advantage of better pricing tiers, combinations of the previous reasons. In plain, these buys were and are being done as safely, speedily, and ethically as can be managed. Being held up by the mails is not good, but something that has to be labored under. Electronic transfers will be widened somewhat as soon as accounts at Citibank and Chase are opened up, and if there was a way to get a PREPAID CapitalOne 360/ING account started, avenues would be wider still. (The local Bank of America branch, from prior acts, is anathema; borrowing from the late Gen. Robert E. Lee in referring to his opponents, they shall be defined as "Those People", and would no sooner trust them than a scorpion not to strike.) It has been policy to send silver by USPS; enough horror stories about brown and fedex have prompted it.
The Texas Precious Metals 2014 "Longhorn" silver ounce has been the unit for purchase in these two buys. They are a handsome round, and at the base tier price of $1.89 for a .9999 round, quite the bargain. TPM has been prompt, courteous, secure and high quality through all.
This said, a new round has been looked for, to lend some variety, for a Group Buy to be launched in early June, as soon as all feedback is received from the one in progress.
Searching capability is limited by the express non-use of the likely NSA tool and present regime contributor, google (which is hereafter designated as gargle, in the same vein as BofA/Those people) . Results thus far have yielded the following four 1 ounce candidates:

Commentary would be appreciated.
MODERATORS/ADMINS If this topic is in the wrong area, I would appreciate it being relocated and proper PM sent.
Thanks to all in advance.
