My wife made a very similar comment, but it was at a Rush concert. On the other hand, she was happy about the lack of lines for the ladies' restroom.

If everyone else who has previously posted a notice about a show has privately asked for your permission, which I admittedly did not, then I apologize.

"Posting of auctions, events or shows, on the front page, must be approved by the moderator first."

No apology necessary. The rules are the rules and every single ad on the front page is approved by me, either before or after it goes up. Just about the only time I have deleted anything (except in a few extraordinary cases) is when there is an unauthorized ad on the front page. Thanks.

ps... to reiterate, I don't mind your ad if it helps collectors, it doesn't seem to be a real "for profit" venture as much as a good collectors show, AND you are a good participant here. That is why I hadn't said anything (no reason to) but the rule is to ask first. I don't think The Gold Standard Card-Collateral banner will hurt anyone or cause harm to the board. But we do all have our opinions and everyone is welcome to voice theirs in a (mostly) professional manner :).

Um. Where do you see me complaining about anything?

I have put my opinions in about certain topics, yes, but I don't know that I need to sit back and wait for the more "veteran" people to do so, so that I can more appropriately fit into what others are doing too.

Where did I question anyone's assessment of a card? But also, and maybe more importantly, why do you care so much about my conversation history?

Agreed, Peter. However, most, "collectors" are driven by other forces. And, most, "investors" seek opportunities elsewhere.

Again, just my thoughts.

Best regards,

Eric

I live in New York and I have used the Gold Standard and I highly recommend them. I have never had any issues and the cards were always returned in the same condition that I left them.
There are situations where I'm waiting for a big check and I get an opportunity to buy a collection and I need cash quick- I have gone to the Gold Standard.

In addition, if I needed to pay a hospital bill for a family member and I didn't want to part with a Ruth that will prob take me 5 years to replace, I went to the Gold Standard.

It's an ideal situation for when there's an irreplaceable card that you do not want to part with or when you overextend yourself in an auction and u need a little cash. I highly recommend this company.

interest rate
 

Sorry for the delayed response.

The interest rate is 4%/month The term of our loans is 4 months. Our clients only pay for the time they use the money. If the loan is payed back in the first month they are only charged 1 month interest.
These loans are not for everyone. If you find yourself in a temporary cash pinch this can be a nice option. We deal with many collectors that use our services for a wide variety reasons. Please let us know if you have more questions.

At the end of 4 months you have paid a little over 16 percent interest or approximately 50 percent interest per year?

Am I understanding this correctly?

What other types of fees are associated with a loan? At a straight 4% fee there is no way you wouldn't be losing $ on transactions under a few hundred $.
