Like I said, nothing against the guy for making a profit. Just you'd have to be an idiot to buy silver or gold from him at the prices he charges, and he knows that. In my eyes, that makes him kindof a dick by default.
In no way am I a commie. I couldnt give less of a fuck if you wanna over pay for anything you choose and I certainly would not use the force of the state to prevent it, or to control what someone charges for a product or service.
Its like this guy who went down to Wal Mart hours after the worst ice storm weve ever seen in Decatur. Most peoples power was out for at least 5 days in sub zero temps, so people went down to get a generator to keep warm with electric heat, or a chain saw to cut the limbs off their power lines (which were turned off for this exact purpose). Anyway, they get there to find some dick bought all the gas generators and chain saws available, turned around and sold them for 3 times the price out of the back of a moving van just down the street from the store he bought them at, a price that I imagine alot of people couldnt afford, so they were screwed. Should he be banned from "scalping"? I dont think he should. Do what you want in a free society, but it sure makes him an opportuinist dickhead in my book.
