Comments on: Cash For Gold http://terribleanalogies.com/2008/12/cash-for-gold/ "Mother Nature and Father Time used to be good friends of mine..." - PWEI Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:38:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: HermanTurnip http://terribleanalogies.com/2008/12/cash-for-gold/comment-page-1/#comment-763 HermanTurnip Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:37:55 +0000 http://terribleanalogies.com/?p=271#comment-763 Interesting, Horace. Thanks for the link. It's nice to see this company doing some good, but unfortunately it's at the cost of lowballing people out of their gold. I know it's a free market, but their business model rubs me the wrong way. I guess I just don't have that "killer" business instinct. Doing a bit of research on <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/pr-newswire" rel="nofollow">PR Newswire</a>, it looks to be a company that gathers information directly provided by other companies. It seems as if Cash4Gold is simply tooting its own horn, trying to put a nice shine on their tainted image by releasing this "news", and could possibly be tracking each hit it receives from the link you provided. This does *not* fill me with warm fuzzies, but I'll leave the link as is. Of course I could be completely off base with this assumption. If so, then I'll be the first to apologize. Again, thanks for the link. I hope PR Newswire is gathering some interesting stats from it... Interesting, Horace. Thanks for the link.
