Hello my fellow Silk Road Travelers I am Bitcoins4Gold I am a long time buyer/Vendor who has now moved into the Financial area of SR. I have been buying and selling gold silver and other precious medals ever since the economic crisis and housing collapse occurred in the USA and worldwide. I can offer an unparalleled selection of 99.999 pure gold bars, and bullion in MINT condition. We are talking official stamp certificate and everything!!
With the way our economy (other than drugs) is going Gold, and Silver and one of THE smartest investments you can make since gold is NOT paper money printed by a government it's core value cannot succumb to inflation as gold has always been valuable for Thousands of years. Along with MANY, MANY modern day uses in technology etc .....basically without gold we have no cell phones computers, satellites etc
Why do you see so many cash for gold commercials on TV? Because the rich know that paper money will soon be useless (or at least HIGHLY devalued) and are trading their paper for REAL money.
With that being said here are some of my goals
1. To be the #1 Seller of gold and Silver in exchange for Bit coins
2. To provide top quality service
3. To be a resptected member of the Silk Road Community
4. To help my fellow members of Silk Road protect themselves from Government Inflation
I will have listings up by tomorrow, and anyone who is credible and will promise to do an in depth review will get their first order of gold at a discounted rate, AND if your review is TOP notch as well as your credentials I will offer (1) FREE Silver Troy ounce!!!

I dont want to piss on your cornflakes but gold investing is still an investment and is still therefore a risk. In 2006 gold was about £550 a troy ounce, by 2010 it was £1220, it is currently around £1500. Gold prices are at an historic high point so it is almost like investing at the top of the market, (however i do believe it has some way to go personally).
With regard to it retaining its value after paper money becomes worthless, at that stage even gold will be relatively worthless after all you cannot eat gold. The collapse of the financial system will not be survived by those with the most gold but those with the most canned food.
Gold will only really have value in a post collapse world once things start to get better and there is any sort of trade/barter economy, and then gold coins wold be more useful than bullion bars.
Of course if you just want to own a piece of gold knock yourself out.

Hi Bitcoins4Gold,
Many apologies for not responding to you sooner, glad to see you've got things figured. You've done pretty much everything I was going to suggest in offering samples and also paying established vendors for their reviews. Precious metals are an excellent investment in my opinion, if only to add some diversity to your portfolio if most of your assests are in cash - personally I would suggest silver over gold as it has better liquidity, best of luck and I'm sure you'll do well. Have you considered diversifying even further? I've often toyed with the idea of offering palladium/diamonds on here but simply don't have the time!

vlad1m1r - not sure if a typo but you said "paying established vendors for their reviews", was vendor a typo?
just that it would not be good for any vendor to purchase something off SR and then leave a review from the vendor account. Even if you bought it with a buyer account the review would need to be from the vendor account and it would be simple to use some kind if canary trap to get an address that could be linked to said vendor.

Absolutely UKMJ, an excellent point, I did mean to say "user" - needless to say vendors can never order anything but digital goods from their own account for safety reasons!

If things go well with the gold/silver on here I would be more than HAPPY to offer diamonds palladium or any other precious metal if their is demand for it!

I have a review of this seller. He/she appears to be dishonest. I purchased gold and silver on the 17th. The seller marked as shipped the the day after. A week or so later the seller sent an unsolicited e mail saying it had been shipped. Never arrived. Subsequent e-mails from me go unanswered.
Sent to resolution.

Don't buy precious metals for their investment value. You pay a lot more than they're worth to buy them, and you get a lot less than they're worth when you sell them, so you almost always lose money on the deal. If you really want to hedge against inflation, then just open a stock brokerage and buy some shares of GLD or something similar. Much, much more cost effective.
-
Update. Sent to resolution. Seller provided a DCN that shows the package ended up in a dead letter facility in another state.
His response. "You must have given me a fake address"
I've had no problems with any other seller. I don't need to have legal goods sent to a fake address.
Just reporting my experience. I'll convert to dollars and buy my precious metals elsewhere.
-
Gunna be really to the point here -
Got certificates of authentication? Allow escrow? Allow time for independent verification of product? Tracking? Stealth shipping? Below current prices? Is the gold legit (not stolen)?
If the answer to any of these is no or can't do it then I wouldn't be interested because I can wander down to a refinery and get what you offer at a better price without the fuck around of BTC and with full certification.
-
I'm interested in gold. The two feedbacks for this seller looked fake to me. Hope I'm wrong.
-
Update SR extended resolution 4 days ago. This apparently to give the seller benefit of the doubt (which astounds me).
A DCN showing delivery to a dead letter facility is proof of nothing.
Legal goods---don't arrive---seller alleges I must have "given him a fake address"---I didn't--- have never had any problem here----seller can provide no explanation for having no return address----no insurance
Never again. His 100% reviews would be damaged if I could figure out how to give him the 0/5 he deserves.
Once its in resolution you apparently can't review the transaction?
My personal opinion based on my experience...stay away.
-
I'm delighted to report that SR review is a fair process that evaluates evidence based on credibility instead of 50/50 all the time with a DCN. I'm sorry I doubted it but I'm relatively new here.
In this case a DCN to a dead letter office didn't result in s a 50/50 resolution but rather 100% back.
Unhappy with and distrustful of the seller and would never do business with it/she/him again but happy with the fairness of the process.
Not intended to defame the seller...he might be incompetent but not dishonest. But he alleged the lost package should be my responsibility because I "must have given an incorrect address" .
I didn't and saved a copy of what I sent him because these were legal goods.
So he is either easily confused or dishonest.
