Metal Exchange Closes Website Due to Overwhelming Demand

Don't be fooled by the central banks dumping of gold and silver reserves in order to halt the rise in metal prices. The lowering of interest rates by the Fed this week only opens the door for more printing of dollars backed by nothing. The illusion the Fed is trying to create of a strong dollar while at the same time pushing a policy of printing unlimited quantities of cash can't hold for long. The reality is driven by the market, and the market is running dry. Every supplier of silver and gold is running out due to huge consumer demand to trade in worthless dollars for something that will hold its value. Below is the statement from APMEX.Com, the American Precious Metals Exchange. They cannot keep up with demand and are begging people to sell them metal to keep up. It's a great time to buy on this artificial dip in prices.

Dear Valued Customer,

Due to the OVERWHELMING demand for precious metals, our online ordering system has been unable to keep up with our customers’ needs.  We have had to disable the APMEX ordering system to allow us ample time to upgrade our site to accommodate the increased demand.  We apologize for this temporary problem.  In the mean time, we will be accepting telephone orders for the following items only as we have them available:

            • 1 ounce Gold American Eagles
               • 1 ounce Gold Canadian Maple Leafs
               • 1 Ounce Gold Krugerrands
               • 100 oz Silver Bars
               • Misc Generic .999 Fine Silver
               • 90% Coin Silver

During this time, we will have a minimum order of $5,000.  We regret we have had to make this drastic change to our ordering process and rest assured, we are working expeditiously to correct the problem.  As soon as we have our new site up and running, we will notify you via e-mail when you can again place orders online.

You may contact us during normal business hours Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 4:00 pm cst. (800) 375-9006

If you have existing orders with us, we have in-stock all items needed to fulfill your orders and are shipping them as scheduled.  Once our new site is functional, we will be able to activate our complete inventory line again.

Respectfully,

Scott Thomas
President & CEO

P.S.        We are actively looking for new bullion inventory to purchase.  If you have items that total $2,500 or more and are interested in selling, please call our trading offices at the number listed above.  We are paying strong numbers for ALL Precious Metals!
