    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Hello Fauna members and especially my associates

SILVER SILVER SILVER

Let’s start with, I’m in no way a financial person! My only experience is my buying and selling gold and silver over the years. More buying than selling of course.
It stated with me collecting Mercury dimes many years ago. It progressed to bullion. I’ve done well over the years. Buy buy and hold. Read lots and listen to few. My last hit was of course back in 2012/13. I started buying gold at $380 an oz and kept buying 1 oz for a few years. I noticed that it was going up in 2010 ish and kept going up a little by little. Well, I’m glad I did, it hit around $2000 in 2012-13 time frame. I sold at $1850 an oz because I was getting nervous that it would stop and drop quickly. From then on I kept buying. Now it’s going to explode again!! Research the trends and the graphs. This virus will make gold and silver rise. And I’m betting on silver as the biggest gain. Not gold. You see gold is not drastically lowering. You can still buy gold where as silver is getting hard to get!! I did ok in silver in 2012/13 also. It was 5-7$ priorvto 2012 and it jumped up to 40 ish I believe. We were more into gold from what we read by the investors. This time it’ll be silver.

I’ve been buying silver and gold for years. And I’m here to tell you to buy as much silver as you can! Silver production is low, spot is at $14+ an oz but is selling for over $20 an oz. banks are off loading it which means that when the market comes back and silver is needed for the many industrial uses it will climb up very high. The banks control the silver and gold market prices. They own the bulk of it and when they sell off it creates a deficit. That’s a huge benefit to us, the regular people.

For years people have said that silver will catch up to gold at some point. With silver mine productions at some of the lowest production levels ever, even before coronavirus started , and banks off loading by the tons, this could be the time that silver catches up. I’m sure it won’t hit $1600 an oz, but realistically it could go up to $1000 an oz. it’s possible.

I will not delete this post. Some day soon you will come back to this post and say, hey, that a hole was right

Just before I wrote this, we bought 1000 ozs of silver shot at 7830 per bag. Oh, they are 500 oz bags. We cannot find any 100 oz bars and they companies are price gouging right now. Silver shot is the cheapest silver to be had. Rounds are going for well over $20 per oz. shot is around $15.25 oz. so $1 over spot.


BUY BUY BUY !!! You will not regret it. SILVER SILVER SILVER

Is your 401 dropping like a brick? Buy silver to help you recover some of your losses!! Did you know that rich people have roughly 25% of their wealth in gold silver platinum and palladium?? Really. And for this exact reason that’s going on right now. Retirement funds are disappearing at a fast rate. Buy silver now and when the life comes back into the world, silver will sky rocket and will pay you back some of your losses.

Good luck. Drop me a message if you end up buying and let me know how you did. I will post my gains when this is over. I personally gave a lot of silver and not so much gold this time.

Oh, I’ll buy any silver bullion or junk silver coins you have if you want to sell. Although I highly recommend you don’t sell it yet!!

Rich.
