Farmer bonds

Strange as it may seem, we have two farmer bonds for sale. If you are familiar with bonds, you know these are cute little bonds but they are worth a lot - not as much as an Eagle 27500 or a Liberty 10000 but good money in any case.  You know where to find me - pronetoviolins at g mail dot com. Please do not ask for photos or KYCs or CISs or passports or Passcos or anything of the kind. If you have a buyer, just have him (or her) call our attorney. We DO NOT accept bitcoin either. 
We were talking to a "buyer" yesterday about a Liberty 10000 which we offered for 5 million. He offered 100 million and that, of course, was a huge RED FLAG. He wanted one of those "packages" which every broker asks for - those brokers who are ten people removed from the real buyers. We said no thanks. We have had a 4 head bond sitting in a vault in Zurich for a year because the buyer never showed up. We flew the bond over there personally and waited 2 weeks. The broker was full of excuses. We returned home empty-handed. The scenery was nice but that was all. Thanks and good luck to you.

Petchili bonds

We got very close to selling 20 Petchili bonds last month - so close that we almost started thinking about how we would spend the substantial commissions. Well, as usual, the deal didn't happen because the buyers were in one place and the sellers were in another and the two could never agree to trust each other enough to meet halfway. On the other hand, so many sellers have gone to Zurich to sell their bonds for millions and even billions - with contracts in hand and bank invitations as well - then they have been let down BIG TIME. Who would want to go through that again? I know one seller who has had his packages with a strong and well-connected broker for two months and NOTHING has happened and, by all indications, NOTHING will happen. He is now to the point that if someone shows up with 70 thousand in cash, he will sell, even though he has been promised 50 million per bond. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, as they say.
