Could some people really be this slow (or) How I spent more than you for the very same item

Ok, I just don't get it or maybe a whole lot of individuals know something I don't. I've sit here at my PC for months and watched this with amazement ! Now I don't think by what I'm about to "tell" you here and now is a big secret that most of you don't already know or haven't figured out but I can't take it any longer without sharing a laugh with everyone here. Now it's not a laugh of humor so much but you'll get it.

As a number of collectors here not only "collect" their coins but acquire a holding of silver, gold bullion. Well, this has to do with silver bullion and to be more specific, the buying it through bidding on E-Bay. One particular "seller" on E-bay sells a large quantity of silver bullion in various forms. Without advertising their name here, suffice to say they are located in the state of AZ. and that should tell you who it is. If you can't figure it out yet they are named after a city in AZ. that starts with an S and ends in an E. Anyway enough of that. So they have these auctions all the time on the bay. When you win one (auction) you receive your 1 troy ounce of silver bullion and enclosed is their business card with their website on it. You go to their website and click on products and listed there is the very same item they are selling on E-Bay. (ONLY) at their website you can get the very same item (1 troy ounce of silver bullion) with free s/h for 5 - 10 dollars cheaper than the going top bid on the Bay.

What is it that drives someone to pay 5-10 dollars more for the very same item ? Yes, I buy some of my silver bullion from their website and everytime I buy some I laugh at all the ones paying a "premium" for a few Bay cents. I just checked an auction at the Bay that is ending in 30 minutes and the top bid right now is $52.00 You can buy the same thing at the website for $47.19.

I don't know, sometimes I just don't understand the power of stupidity.

I have attached a picture for extra help.

thanks for letting me have fun with this journal and hope I didn't offend any of the most intelligent people that have ever graced this site.
