Just take a look at how the government drove up the price of Ron Pual silver dollars on Ebay. You could of got them for 28 bucks before the raid, now they are going for over 300 bucks after the raid.
Wow! $28 for less than $15 in silver. That is creative. I can see why the Feds were anxious to stop the stupid people from suffering 86% inflation with those purchases.
