$50 Profit + $1,400 in Spend with this PFS Coin Deal

Looks like a great way to get $1400 in spending and make $50 profit. The US Mint limits purchase of this limited coin to one per household. PFS buyers club is paying us $50 to purchase the coin and ship it to them. They will then reimburse via paypal or check once they receive the shipment. I have not used PFS buyers club before but googling shows they are a reputable company and have paid out many times in the past. From what I have read US Bank does not recognize US Mint as a legit purchase so I would stay away from any US Bank cards.

Please follow the link below to the deal:



Details on the deal:

PFSBuyersclub has a resell deal which can rack up almost $1,400 in spend, plus a $50 profit:
  • On Thursday, September 6th at 12:00pm ET, the US Mint will release a limited edition coin.
  • The purchase is limited to one (1) coin per household.
  • The cost of the coins is roughly $1,400 including shipping, and you’ll be reimbursed an extra $50 on top of that.
  • Signup for a PFS account using the link above and then opt in for the deal to lock yourself in. Be sure you’ll be available to make the purchase at noon on Thursday.
  • You’ll get exact details about the deal when you signup for PFS and opt in for this deal.

You failed to disclose that you will be receiving a referral fee from each use of the link you provided. Very tacky.

Readers can go directly to this deal by using this link: www.pfsbuyersclub.com (select "current deal")

Apologies. Didn't realize that I was breaking any forum rules. I've been a long time reader of these forums as you can see and finally came across something I figured would be of interested to folks here. I see the redirection was already removed, however I was not trying to obscure anything. The URL clearly referenced a referral code.

I will explicitly state there is a referral for these sort of offers in the future.

This offer isn't getting much traction. Too good to be true?

What do you mean by "isn't getting much traction"?

These deals usually only last a couple of hours before they're fully reserved.

The U.S. Mint released the coins at 12:00 p.m. ET today.

They were sold out by 12:07 p.m.

No traction whatsoever.

Was able to get in for one. I think I'll end up going with Monument Metals for their $100 commission. Seems reliable via related subs on Reddit.

Hey Philemer!
The deal was actually for more profit, Buyers Club just takes a cut and sends you the shipping plus absorbs some of the risk. The actual profit was $225 or so (see https://www.maximizingmoney.com/shop...nehurst-coins/ ) so they take $175 and you get $50. For me, too risky for $225 and too much effort for $50 plus some CC spend, but the deal sold out quickly as expected. Hungry MSers out there...

No one knows how many of the purchasers were MSers, versus speculators, versus collectors, versus investors, etc., etc.

I would suspect that MSers are a tiny percentage of the overall population of purchasers. Even without the MSers, the new coin would have still sold out very quickly. Just a guess.

referral links are not allowed. This is a forum not a place for spam

Done this deal last year, got a 1099 from Paypal today for the $1500 payment from PFS. Was not expecting this and now got to figure out how to deal with in my tax return

Anyone else get a 1099 for this deal?
