Lots of people are looking at cards and other alt investments because they are disgusted with the banksters. Wall Street is a rigged casino we are stuck with if we have retirement accounts. I wouldn't put a dime into their garbage if I didn't have to do something with my tax-advantaged retirement accounts. If I could I'd pay off my house instead but the rules have been structured by Wall St. lobbyists to prevent me from lending myself the cash and paying myself interest instead. I can't even invest in alt stuff unless I give those pigs a slice of it via fund fees. I am by no means advocating cards as investment vehicles, but Wall St. retail investment is a sucker's bet too.

Dean, eBay recently terminated 'remorse return' rights on cards. As long as i get it there in one piece he can't just hold it and then months from now decide to return it. I do see the point, though, which is why the vast majority of my sales are now through AHs or private sales, and if a big card is involved I insist on payment via check or MO or cash or Zelle. No recourse.
