IMPORTANT FYI: CHINESE PEEPS ON HOLIDAY, EXPECT DELAYS
Kiddies, sorry for this very sudden interlude post but I gotta remind all and sundry that October 1-7 is a week-long national holiday for the Chinese.
What does that mean to us gold buyers?
A lot of sellers get their gold from the Chinese farmers (like you didn’t know that to begin with). If these peeps are gonna go on their much-deserved break , that’ll mean no farming. And no farming means not enough supply during that period.
You may go ahead and still place an order but heck, don’t expect miracles. But if you’re not in a hurry and can tolerate a week of waiting…
Anyhoo, just don’t say you weren’t reminded.

A week long holiday? Meaning, a week of no spams?
Hallellujah!

Dream on. I just got a whisper from some Chinese seller telling me about today’s special: $9.99 for 1000g and $299 for powerleveling in 3 days. F*cking awesome work ethic. No rest for the wicked.

They can still spam you but they sure as hell ain’t delivering.

How is it possible that the Chinese Holidays will delay the delivery? Even if there are no holidays, THEY’RE ALWAYS DELAYED!

Lestat is right… what’s the difference?
And what’s with their holiday? Exchanging Kung-fu techniques and eating noodles festival? Or, is it a spammer conference?
