TV is full of silver ads. I mean big ads with lots of special effects, and all sorts of free stuff. “Just call and we’ll send you a free 1 gram silver bar.” That’s worth a few cents. Or a free booklet about how the dollar is doomed and silver will go to $200. Maybe a very special 1 ½ ounce silver coin. Just call, and they’ll have your number. They then can call you forever from their little cubicles, and drive you nuts. The cubicle residents which have to make calls, are trying to make a living by foisting off on you their bargain or special silver. Silver seems to be the thing now on the TV ads. What’s the matter with gold? I love gold.
Who do you think pays for the advertising? I have no idea of how much a TV ad costs, nor do I have even a remote idea of how much it costs to make the ad. I’m a total ignoramus about ad rates, and composition of ads, other than I am certain they aren’t cheap. The cubicle residents work out of an expensive office, I am certain. The cubicle operatives need to call you to sell you something, which you probably never thought of buying, but if their sales pitch is refined enough, they will surely convince you that they called because they have a great buy now, and it won’t last long. Oh sure! Their customers pay for the ads. Isn’t that pretty obvious? I loved the Budweiser ads with the Clydesdales. Wonder why they don’t use those magnificent horses any longer for their ads. They were pure class. I don’t drink beer, but was always tempted with the Clydesdale horse ads for Budweiser.
Advertising makes you want to call them for the freebie. After you call, they have your number and they can call you. It’s all so rigged and planned, down to the very sentence, I suspect. Does it work? Probably, because they’re still there. Ever hear of a ‘jam auction?’ I’m an old geezer, and I have seen jam auctions many times. A jam auction is a man or woman on a podium or soap box selling something so great, and which is such a huge bargain, that you simply cannot resist. At one time there was a character named “Soapy Smith,” who used to put a $5 bill in a cake of soap, and then of course sold soap, with one of the bars having a $5 bill in it. He’s buried in Skagway Alaska, but made his rounds throughout the west. Then, many years ago, in New York City, the dancing dolls were hilarious. Maybe they still are there, I don’t know. A fellow has dolls with fine, black threads attached to them, and strung over a convenient bar or something. It has to be dark so the threads wouldn’t show. His compatriot pulls the strings and makes the dolls dance. I loved to watch that performance, and watch the shills buy or fools be fooled and hand out their money. If they saw cops coming it, they folded and rushed off pretty quickly. Jam auctions happen on boardwalks in seaside resorts, and even in Sam’s Clubs with cheap knives being sold by an auctioneer. I love to watch them too. “Three card monte,” was sort of a jam auction. At any rate, go to google and look up ‘jam auction.’ You’ll be highly amused!
The TV ads are merely TV jam auctions. Expensive ones I am certain. Don’t be sucked into them please. You want silver or gold? When you want something, you go and buy it whether it be groceries, an oil change, or a bottle of Evan Williams bourbon, (which is half the price of Jack Daniels and far better). When you want a new pair of shoes, you go to a shoe store, and when you want gold or silver, please come to Colorado Gold, because we do no advertising for you to pay for, and don’t exist in a cubicle in a big office with lots of phones. No, we work out of our individual homes and have no employees, rent to pay, or TV ads to pay for. We don’t advertise, because even though it may work, it’s against our better judgment. Just like bourbon, groceries or gasoline, when you need or want them, you go to their supplier or call them. Same with gold or silver. You have a computer, and the prices on coloradogold.com, change constantly, and are the price you pay plus 1%, which gives us a small profit and covers shipping to you. It’s all so simple, and no one’s trying to sell you something. We don’t advertise, because the TV ads are merely a video version of a jam auction, which I am sure you never heard of, and now will look it up and be amused and will have found a new phrase which I am sure you will remember and next time you see a TV ad for silver (why don’t they push gold?), you will think of a jam auction, and call us when you decide you want something. We do not call…ever! Word of mouth and reputation are our best ads. Click on “About our company,” on the web site. – Don Stott 1-888-786-8822
