The first step in the process of selling to us is learning who we are. It is the most important step, and
that's why it is the first step. Before you ship ANYTHING to us, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Complete business
references are shown below (scroll down).
The first question you should ask is, "Is this legit?" And, of course, there are so many horror stories
out there you MUST be 100% certain you are selling to a good firm before you invest one minute of your
time. WE INVITE YOU to do a thorough background check on us. In fact, we don't just "invite" you,
we REQUIRE you to do your due diligence before you ship your goods to us. That's right, before you sell to
us we want you to check up on us and our references.
WHO IS 2nd MARKETS CORPORATION?
The Golden Income Network is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2nd Markets Corporation of Nashville, Tennessee (www.2ndMarkets.com). 2nd Markets is a leading international buyer of Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Palladium, Rhodium, Fine Watches, Jewelry, Antiques, Historical Memorabilia, Rare Books, Collectibles, Coins, Stamps, Rare Movie Posters and many other categories of tangible assets. Through a network of websites such as iGuide.net, iCollectGold.com, iCollectPlatinum.com, iCollectSterling.com and hundreds of others, 2nd Markets spends millions of dollars every year and has perfected a system for buying from the public through the mail. Seeing how our system scales quite nicely, we envisioned a nation-wide network of affiliates working with us, buying gold, silver, platinum and all kinds of tangible assets and selling directly to us. Like the reality show AMERICAN PICKERS, our vision is to have a network of "pickers" out there beating the bushes, finding deals for us and making a handsome living doing it. Thus was formed THE GOLDEN INCOME NETWORK.
A WELL ESTABLISHED FIRM → IN BUSINESS SINCE 1976
We have been at this for a long time. We have been in business since 1976, and formed the 2nd Markets Corporation in 2008 (after many years as Warren Ventures, Inc.). Our founder, Jon R. Warren, has lived in Nashville since 1970, having graduated high school and college locally. The company is operated by the Warren family, who has lived in the same home in Nashville for the last 25 years. We are not a fly-by-night operation, we have our roots firmly settled in our community and plan to be here our entire lifetimes. This is important, because you should align yourself in any business venture with a partner who has a long history in its community. You should avoid a firm who has just sprung up recently.
IS THIS MULTI-LEVEL NETWORKING?
NO! There are NO "levels" in the Golden Income Network. You buy and sell directly to us. You do not waste any time building a down line and all that multi-level marketing stuff. If you wish to build your own network of buyers working through you, no problem. Your "affiliates" would simply sell directly to you, then you would sell to us as usual.
OUR BUSINESS REFERENCES → PLEASE CHECK THEM!
Please invest some time to check our business references. You should always check the references of any firm you plan to do business with. If they cannot supply business references, do not deal with that firm!
