Hey guys and gals. Thanks for the comments, feedback, constructive criticism, etc... I appreciate it.
I'll try to respond to some of the comments and questions in this post.
First, I'd like to provide a little background as how the site came to be...
I started using Ebay back in 1999 and I really liked it because it was an inexpensive, valuable service - I loved it! Then it became more and more and more expensive. Greed is the root of all evil. To get, get, get, one must take, take, take, at any any expense. At the expense of others of course...
In 2005 I watched a documentary video, titled 'Crash: The Coming Financial Collapse of America'. That year, I was 25 years old. I was already privy to some of the things that we're not taught (especially these days) in public school, but that documentary really awoke me to the financial situation in the US. I was inspired to research and learn more from then on....
Fast forward to 2013: My Grandpa passed away on the 13th of February. I keep as little money as possible in the bank. I don't link banks. At all. Anyway, I needed to get cash fast for a trip from the northwest to the east coast of the US.
I called the local coin shop, from which I purchased the coins from, and they offered to pay me NEGATIVE 37% what I bought the "junk silver" that I had bought from them a few days earlier. (No, this was not during a DIP)
So, I was a little turned off, to say the least.
I had thought about a trading platform for metals a few years ago but didn't take an action on it. After this interaction, I was driven to make it happen.
I was pissed. I couldn't believe that they wanted to screw me for 37%.!
So, here's the site, after 2 months of work...
Anyway, I just wanted to provide a platform for people like me, and others, to be able to connect with one another, without coin shops or dealers.
Everyone wants to be treated properly and get a fare value.
So, on the plane ride over to the east coast, for my Grandfather's funeral, I started discussing this with my sister, the idea about the site.....
When I returned, I started working on it.
It was difficult, but I finally got it good after two months of work.
Now??? It's just about telling people about it....
As far as the TRUST thing.... The site only connects people.
It doesn't have anything to do with my trust. It's only a platform for people to connect. They have to work out the whole "trust thing" on their own.
If You're trying to decide on a place for exchange, consider your local POLICE DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT.
You paid for it. So, use it!
TRUST............
Well, that's a tough one. I don't deserve any from anyone who hasn't dealt with me. So, my answer is null. What I've done is built a site to connect people. It's up to them now.
