Sounds worth it to me as long as you arent being sent coins on consignment week after week and having to pay alot of money out of pocket to send them back. There has to be some sort of catch to it.

Is there a company name or website you could drop for us? If I can get 2 eagles for 20 dollars and all I would have to put up with is a little junkmail then I would be interested.

Doing a quick search there is not any bad reviews about them, their web site is kind of trashy looking. I am sure the eagles are bullion grade, still a great buy with silver approaching $17oz. It probably is like a time share speech, you have to listen to them push bullion and some monthly dollar cost averaging scheme.

From what I've heard on other forums and conversations about these "special deals", there is usually a hard sale up front. Some people could care less about a hard sale and even rather enjoy making the phone sales person squirm lol. If so, this might be for you. If they honor it. Lots end up saying "Oh, that offer just expired, but I do have something else I'd like you to know about!". Hmm.

more than likely it is one of them things where you get a call about 3-4 times a year begging you to buy their junk lol. i fell for that one in the back of the RedBook last year. you know get a free ASE. I have finally got out of that mess but it took a lot of time to do it. or it could also be one of them just pay the shipping. and most of them start at 40 plus just to ship. remember nothing is free except air wait a minute I thing we pay out the nose for that too Gary |

The ole saying......"If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is".......could be applicable here !......if not......well......go for it and then let us know of any repercussions and I'll do it if there isn't any ! Uncirculated Eagles for $20.00 (plus shipping and handling I presume?).....hummm......they should go out of business selling em' at that price !.....where's their profit ?...  Edited by eaglefoot

The way many gimmicks work, especially TV gadgets,
is that the ship/handle amount is set at the amount
to pay for the item. Then the amount that is
supposed to be the price is their profit.
This isn't my guessing or supposing either...
I know this is how many TV gimmicks work from
inside information.
The trick is getting you to keep the item.
They usually have a money back gaurantee, you
just pay ship/handle. Well, that covers everything
just as if you actually bought it. Then the
folks that actually keep the item pay for it and
all expenses, plus pay the profit.
Am I making sense. I had trouble trying to get
the point across. I retyped that 3 times trying
to make sense.
Anyway, if they charge 20 bux for an Eagle, then
all they have to do is charge another 15-20 S&H,
that way they are covered. Then the hard sell is
where they get their 'gravy'.

Make sure you check all their terms and conditions, and read over all the fine print.
If there is anything that you don't understand, then ask for clarification.
Do NOT allow them to pressure you into purchasing something that you don't want.
Best of luck, and enjoy any coins that you might buy!
