I have read the entire text of the auction description and I still fail to
understand how buying American Silver Eagle Proofs are what one should
consider in the face of a financial crisis.

Can someone clue me in? Thanks large.

Which he presumably will spend (before, as he predicts, it becomes
worthless!) and they'll spend it and then they'll spend it and so on.

I guess he thinks the big print in his ad is justification for a $300+
premium over what the mint's price was. Sold out does not automatically
mean a large price surge--unless there is an increased demand. I don't see
lots of people running to buy his coins..

Right now they are going for about $50 give or take.

I saw one seller offering a box of 20 that was priced at $1200 or something.
He was taking best offers so I offered $40. The seller came back with a
snide remark stating he can sell them all day for $50. He then
counter-offered for $1150.

Uhhhh hey genius, usually when someone buys a quantity of an item you charge
them *less* per unit not *more* per unit.

It doesn't compute, because your gut doesn't trust in illusions. There
is NO security. I mean, what are you going to do with any kind of
precious metal in a total collapse? That's why I continue to advise
the collectors and hoarders I know to dump everything while the
delusion is running rampant over the "how ****ing obvious does it have
to be" common senses.

That's just what I did. It hurt a little and took me awhile to reach
the right people, but I knew I'd made out like a bandit on those
convinced they were investing in the future. I was right too, as I
liquidated my collection in part and parcel at an average 30% profit.
The simple fact is, we won't have much use for any of this when the
bigger picture comes to fruition, so the true value in ANY asset at
this stage of the game lies in the barter for things you need to live,
while the things you need to live are still available for barter.

I like silver, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't buy from a guy like that.
Too much hype - Hes goading everyone to stock up on silver NOW so they can
make a slaying in a year or two ,,, Then he proceeds to sell his silver ?
That does not compute. He'd do much better to just take a pic of whats hes
got with a brief description than to try to play P.T. Barnum.

You got is bass ackwards.
The idea is to get the things you need to live *now* with paper money, and
when and if paper money becomes worthless, then you barter away your precious
metals for things you need to live - Or just take what you need, loaded with
a Glock.
You can't say "I was right to do this" when the **** hasn't hit the fan yet.
May not seem right to you when someone offers you a can of spam ham for a SAE
and you have no SAE's to barter with - Then you'll have the choice of busting
him in the head and taking it, or walking away hungry.
Me, I got plenty of spam, SAE's and guns - Thats what you call diversity.

Also an example of precious metal, some would say.

Some years back, some preacher was telling his congregation to stock up
on cash and US savings bonds in preparation for the impending collapse
of the US government. Huh?

....and to drag things back on topic: I have started getting dollar coins
in change from time to time. Surely the end times must be nigh.
