JP, Snow Dog, and the lot of readers out there, Gaithmans (and likely Goldfinger, though I only speak for Gaithmans) experienced a HUGE wave of outexchanges when the price of gold spiked after the 9-11-01 attacks. Gaithmans bought far more e-gold from it's clients than it needed at that time during the resulting wave of outexchanges.
As a result, we have simply stopped buying e-gold for a few days in order to allow us to deplete our excess inventory. (Supply vs. Demand) No need to interpret the actions of Gaithmans as an ominous sign of impending doom, just simple practice of inventory control. Gaithmans will resume buying e-gold today (Friday, Oct. 5th) but will no longer be paying the 2% premium as we still have a surplus. Our fee structure will remain in place with that exception. Anyone wishing to complete an outexchange is encouraged to visit our website ( www.gaithmans.com ) and complete our on-line order form located here: http://www.gaithmans.com/sellgold.html If anyone has any questions (Craig, JP?) about Gaithmans business model, feel free to call my office and ask me directly. Those out there who have ever called me know I am easy to get in touch with and gladly take the time to answer any and all questions related to the Gold Economy. I would love to discuss my business strategy with you instead of forcing you to speculate on such public forums. ;0) My personal line is 1-317-788-8582.
