    Just saw on a TV show..

    So I was bored while breaking things down, an went to my super secret free tv site, an decided to watch one of the recent Hardcore Pawn episodes.(Yes yes I know, but it amuses me) On this episode they were sending gold to their refiner in CA. The son bet the dad his refiners, would have better results, an they were much closer. All he'd have to do is send them the gold an then they'd wire him the money.



    You can see where this is going I hope. The dad has been using the same refiner for years, hence the son trying to him to do it different. The results...the son got a really crap return. The father had just like the past, excellent results.

    Lesson here? If it's to good to be true, it likely is. In regards to metal, we could compare this to a certain company who just loves to rip people off when they send them gold or ewaste, or printer cartridges, or cell phones, etc.

    Anyhow, thought I'd share. For anyone who'd like to watch the episode, it's episode 17 of the current season.
