I bought gold from these scum bags back when it was around $889 a OZ. The slime ball sales man talked me into buying a coin with "intrinsic value". I try to sell my coin today while gold over $1150 a Oz and Goldline tells me i will only get $299 for it! I bought the freaken coin at $374 i should have made at least $30 profit but no, the value magically went down! Screw these people, glad i only bought one coin off these jerks!

Well Obama did appear on lots of "debt consolidation" commercials for free.. Albeit it without his permission.. The left doesnt seem nearly upset over that..

Seriously, do you not understand how GOLD COINS have value OVER and above the meltdown value? Thats kinda the purpose of buying them in COIN form.. otherwise you could just buy a bar of gold..
Read my posts. I am beyond the meltdown value. People are getting ripped off by Goldline for the actual value of the coins.

Per Wikipedia;

Goldline advertises through a variety of marketing channels including the internet, radio, and television. Former Director of the United States Mint and Democratic Congressman Jay W. Johnson was Goldline's television spokesperson from June 2009 until his death in October of that same year.[7] Goldline's television advertising includes cable networks such as CNN, CNBC, Fox News, History International and Fox Business.

Ahh no.. all you are doing is displaying how americans are fools.. This is like someone complaining they cant sell their Ford Explorer they bought in 2000 for more than they paid..

Gold coins have an average of 30% surcharge on them when they are bought, and then another 30% surcharge on them when they are sold.. They are INSURANCE, not INVESTMENTS, as I've stated near the beginning of your tyraid.. You can find 100,000 people who bought them for investment purposes, but that doesnt mean people are entitled to get more for their Ford than they paid for them either..

And your point? This information somehow makes Goldline a legitimate company?

I consider the price of a new car to be a ripoff, but that doesnt stop people from buying them either.. so when you get beyond the "meltdown" value, you move your argument to the fact that you think Goldline should be selling coins for less than their value" Thats a foolish argument to be made because goldline has to buy them AT VALUE, and then resell them.. Your asking goldline to LOSE MONEY in order to market coins, which again, is foolish...

This company needs to be investigated! Plain and simple. There are laws that protect consumers.

I rolled over a retirement plan into Gold line and they told me the products she recommended me to buy with the amount I had to invest. When I got my statement they charged me almost double for the gold coins compaired to the other Gold companies. 1/3 of my investment was lost instantly. I paid much more then the gold will be even be worth next year and then have to pay storage fees.
HOW can you get out before losing it all.This was my retirement money.I have very little and hoped to make a profit but this looks hopeless.

My point is it made the title of your thread before it was merged misleading, which we all know was your intent anyway.

You complain that the title of my thread was misleading yet you say nothing about how Goldline misleads and ripoffs their customers?
