ALIVE AND WELL? NOT SO IF YOU LOOK AT EVERYONE DUMPING THERE STEIKES? IT IS ALIVE AND WELL AS FAR AS STRIKES IN THE MACHINES, BUT AT NO TIME HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS MANY LARGE LOTS OF STRIKES BEING DUMP ON THE MARKET!! I WOULD GUESS THE RECESSION IS TO BLAME FOR 90% OF THE LARGE LOTS OD STRIKES BEING DUMP ON THE MARKET! FOR SOME PEOPLE TIMES ARE VERY HARD AND A SILVER STRIKE COLLECTION SEENS NOT NEEDED WHEN YOUR STOCKS HAVE LOST 60%-70% OF THERE VALUE! PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE IS A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT TO SOME PEOPLE THAN A CASINO COIN? IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN OFFERED OVER 8,000 SILVER STRIKES FROM BIG TIME COLLECTORS FOR FACE VALUE! AND I WAS OFFERED OVER 30 $200 STRIKES FOR $225 EACH. WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH PEOPLE BALE OUT!! IT MAY BE A LONG ROUGH SPELL BUT IT WILL BE BETTER DOWN THE ROAD, MY STRIKE COLLECTION HAS WENT FROM AROUND 7,500 STRIKES TO A LITTLE OVER 15,000 STRIKES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS,IM STILL BUYING SO KEPT EMAILING ME!
