Where do you buy? Online or local? When we’re talking about $1,000+ purchases, I want to have my knowledgebase set pretty firmly and buy from a reliable dealer. I’ve been asking FReepers about gold since the election, just haven’t had any definitive answers on all my questions.
I have a friend who’s a pawnbroker. I pay retail but I don’t get cheated. I would never buy through the mail or online but, as I mentioned, I’m a paranoid.
