How many ladies would be comfortable accepting (or have accepted) precious metals (gold and silver coinage of various weights) for their services?

How many would be comfortable simply setting a precious-metal-denominated rate and not moving it?

For example: 1 hr: 3/10ths ounce gold

Just curious. Some of my buds and I exchange goods and services with each other using gold and silver coinage as a medium of exchange.

It looks like someone bought a lot of liberty dollars...

the specie of exchange is stated right there within their websites. I do give precious metals to certain gf's though.


I don't think it's a good idea to be caught with a scale while 'entertaining'.LOL

Osp is nuts today with memories

The coins have their weight printed right on them.

BTW, a little bird told me to tell you to listen to your wife. She's smart.

Who the hell listens to their wife? lol

If she had her way I would be simply be a figurehead within the household. I would hand over ALL assets and power of attorney to her and I would render myself sexually insignificant. Not that I isn't already.

We all know how wives can be. LOL

Did she make you install it for her too?

Wow, it would be easier for me to part with cash than a nice engine like that. What kind of carb is that?

any takers?

8o)

Is it my imagination or is this a ridiculous idea?  I don't know a doctor, lawyer, or mechanic that would take a hung of precious metal as payment so why would a provider???

Forget the thousands of reasons she wouldn't take it...the two simplest would be her inability to verify the purity/legitimacy of the metal and the other being her inability to know the true value.  

Most providers are most comfortable with the donation being left inconspicuously in the bathroom; it's sort of a stretch for her to pull out a beam scale, metal testing kit, and checking the web for the current metal prices.

...no conversion is necessary.
ALSO note how NOT any providers have acknowledged an acceptance of such plan. (But some still might?)

The more important question is what was the make and model of the dinner date.

There was an attorney who wanted his pay in particular gold coin. He then tried claiming that his rate was $20 an hour for tax purposes since that was thw amount he was getting in the coins. The IRS didn't agree.

Liquid, of course

Not wisdom?

Folding money works best....

do you really believe the OP is being genuine? You need to back to the Jack_Schitt thread if you're gonna take 'bite' on everything.




AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!

I can see it on Pawn Stars now ... lol

"Sorry toots, you got played!"
"But he told me it was a rare quarter worth 2k!"

All sorts of things can go wrong including stolen that would put someone in real trouble.

My question is, why don't the owner of such precious commodity convert Ben Franklins and give it to the provider.

I would not exchange precious materials with anyone, have heard of blood diamonds and Kimberly Law?

I attempt to make the underground economy as underground as possible; and that starts with avoidance of the currency of our would-be masters.

Of course, if providers prefer inflationary fiat money that is worth less at the end of a session than it was at the beginning, that's okay too.

..."it's sort of a stretch for her to pull out a beam scale, metal testing kit, and checking the web for the current metal prices"...

Good one..laughed out loud to your description. And think of the time it would take to do all that while the client is standing/sitting/laying waiting for the action to start..there goes a good chunk  of the session.

Next thing you know she'll be popping a loop(sp) out of her handbag to test the quality of the stones offered and their true market value.

If my light company will take the same metal?  Maybe my gas, phone or water company?  Bank who the mortgage is through??  

Bwahahahahaha, I highly doubt it.  In which case that inflated dollar is still worth more to me than the 'precious metal' at the beginning and end of a session  

Where does one go about selling such metal at market value?  I know pawn shops do not pay market value, so really the lady loses out in the end.  Unless of course she wants to just have a neckless or bracelet made.  

I know you can't possibly be serious with your post though......right?

Nicely done "Richard"!

What's next? A "cypher" perhaps?

So you're one of the guys that been e-mailing me... JK!! But seriously, I have been asked this before and I always ask, "If it's so precious and worth money and not stolen, why not just take it to a pawn shop and receive cash"....  or the cash for gold tv commercials....

perhaps even including the happy endings we usually discuss here, LOL!

listening to a wife needn't be as dire or extreme as your, hopefully, jocular reply indicates.

i always _listen_ to advice: from spouses, ex-spouses, old friends, compensated companions who look after my interests, and yes EVEN physicians. i maight not accept their advice but they know i've listened.

when i choose NOT to accept the advice, i have a clear understandable rationale. out of the above list, my physician always knows he works for me. for instance, so if i reject his advice i have some research to back me up. the others, listed i treat collaboratively. i.e. better than my doctor.

you'll notice my lawyer didn't make the list at all!

it is important that folks feel listened to even if you disagree. listening does not mean you've been Bobbited.

i now duck for cover.

p.s. PM will not work in 7 days.

If you need immediate turnover, where the funds from a session go immediately to keep the lights on; precious metals are a seriously bad deal and you absolutely do not want them. That's because exchanging them for a fair market price takes about a week. If you are just turning over one gold coin, the shipping costs are also not good. So turn over one gold coin in a week, and it doesn't make financial sense.

The reason why men will offer a precious metal is because it holds its value.

5 years ago, how much did a bottle of Diet Coke cost? A pack of gum?

Despite rigged government inflation numbers, compare those prices of 5 years ago to today and you will quickly discover that prices have risen nearly 75% in that time. That means your dollar has lost value.

Now, take the time and look up what gold cost 5 years ago compared to today. You will see that gold maintained its value. In terms of dollars, it is worth more. In terms of buying power, it has stayed the same. Unlike dollars.

When a man offers you precious metal, he is not offering you the present; he is offering the future. Purchasing precious metal is a pain in the ass for him. For him to offer it to you means he wants you to have it as an investment option as one part of your portfolio for your future. He is assuming you are financially secure in the present so would place value on an asset of that sort.

It would be like offering you stock in Microsoft. The fact you can't instantly spend that as money doesn't mean it has no value. It is for your future, not today.

Obviously, if someone has an instantaneous cash need, the future is not on their mind.

If he really wanted to exchange it, he could do so for a fair price at a place like this, rather than a pawn shop. Of course you get ripped off at a pawn shop.

But, no, I have never offered an escort precious metals. I use them as a store of value for exchange among other free men.

... is not directly serious.

But nevertheless I have found the responses very informative in other ways.

You will learn something very interesting.

It is not the answer to the question that is informative, but rather the answers to questions unasked.

Therein lies the "cypher."

I'll start another post the same way..is it me or has the OP's responses made you want to just stop reading....ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

I kid you not. I'll take the gold

Do I dare ask what the hell he was thinking?

Compared to that, even a penny would be beneficial!

As some counterfeit is good enough to fool bankers, it most certainly fools escorts too.

I don't know a doctor, lawyer or mechanic who would knowingly accept counterfeit. Of course, you usually don't pay them with cash either. You pay them with a check or card.

Water is more valubal in the dessert than Gold .

....I briefly worked at a brothel here where it's legal ( to try the experience, needless to say I didn't last very long)and there was this Latino guy who came in with no money and picked me out. I know some Spanish and he knew very little English. He had not a lot of 'dinero' but he produced a bag of what looked like rock salt. Maybe that got him laid in Mexico?? LOL

it creates unnecessary stress and at the end, one end up asking the question why did I do what I did, what's the point?

a ring or necklace but not just a piece of gold.
