The problem they run into with PRODUCTS is, let's say you score a $1000.00 flat screen or $500.00 iPad, you CAN'T compete with Wal-Mart and Best Buy, you are not going to sell it for NEAR retail. Gold and Silver have a TRUE VALUE. $1000.00 in Pure Gold or Silver is WORTH $1000.00 whether you're in Peoria IL, or Outer Madagascar, it's WORTH its market value, unlike STUFF.
