Hi Adam,

I purchased Claxton shortly after it fell. I paid much less than $140 per
gram. When did you buy it?

Thanks,

Peter

That last piece of Claxton I sold only went for $140.00 a gram at a heavily
advertised, non-eBay auction according to my accurate books. Peekskill is
not moving off of shelves all that quickly these days having seen the same
pieces listed on the same websites for over a decade.

Like most dealers, I do not want material sitting unsold and stuck in
inventory for decades so I am willing to sell at a lose if I paid too much
in the first place.

Adam

HI,

With great respect, Adam, your references to Claxton and Peekskill do not
comport with what I've read -- as well was what I've experienced -- and I
don't think I'm going out on a limb here by suggesting I'm not alone here.
All the best / Darryl
