Bullion Bargains (bullionbargains.us) & Copyright Theft
Bullion Bargains (bullionbargains.us) Caroline Kent of Gatlinburg Tennessee, USA is yet another dishonest website who has used our copyright images without permission.
Copyright Theft is Dishonest - Can You Trust This Dealer?
Using other people's copyright images is illegal, it is dishonest, and it is unethical. Using the hard work of a fellow dealer to sell the same goods in competition with him demonstrates an extremely low standard of ethics. We would not recommend anybody to transact business with this person or company.
What's Wrong?
Bullion Bargains are using a large number of our high quality copyright coin photographs on their numerous web pages, including their European Gold Coins page, shown here, where at least 6 out of the 13 coin photographs are ours, and at least one other was taken from one of competitors.
These images are our copyright property, and are being used without our permission.
Apart from sourcing many of their photographs from our websites, they use a number of other photo's we have seen elsewhere. Most of the advice and information on their website has also been hacked from other easily available web sources, and it is not impartial. It is geared to getting to to buy via eBay so they can get paid commission.
The other main income generator for this shite site is the Google Adwords scheme. When you click on any of the paid adverts, Bullion Bargains gets a share of the Adwords Pay Per Click advertising revenue. We are surprised that a great company such as Google encourages site owners such as this to set up sites with little or no unique content, using source material copied without any credit to the original authors or copyright owners.
Heraeus or Haraeus?
Caroline Kent or whoever else writes the pages for Bullion Bargains clearly demonstrates her lack of knowledge on their "Hareaus Kinebar Gold Bars", the photo is ours, but the mis-spelling of Heraeus as Hareaus is entirely theirs.
Most of the other information can by found on Gold.Org, GoldBarsWorldwide, Encycl.opentopia.com, Wikipedia, or a number of other useful sites.

About Us
Bullion Bargains was created with the small investor in mind, to enable them to easily locate great deals on discount silver silver (sic) and gold bullion coins, bars, rounds, nuggets, flakes and more . . .
How To Purchase The Bullion Products List On Our Website
All of the silver and gold bullion products featured on our website are sourced through the eBay shopping system. We choose eBay to source our products because of the wide selection of bullion items available, as well as the buyer protections and security offered to the buyer through the eBay system.
eBay is also a great way for the small investor to purchase silver and gold bullion. Many of the larger bullion dealers will only sell to you if you purchase a minimum amount of coins. Unfortunately, many people don't have several thousand dollars to invest at one time. By purchasing via eBay, you can add to your collection one coin at a time.
If you are already an eBay account holder, buying through our Bullion Bargains website is easy! When you find a bullion item that you are interested in, just click on the item to purchase or bid on it on eBay.
If you are not an eBay account holder, no sweat! You can easily setup an account for free during the checkout process of the item you are purchasing.

Bullion Bargain's Hereaus Kinebar Gold Bars Page
Hareaus (sic) Kinebar Gold Bars
Hareaus (sic) Kinebar gold bars are a type of minted gold bar that are (sic) imprinted with a special hologram on the reverse side. This special iridiscent hologram was introduced in December of 1993 by the Union Bank of Switzerland in order to assure the authenticity of gold bullion bars.
The Argor-Heraeus SA refinery, which is a subsidiary of the Union Bank, has the responsibility of placing the hologram on the reverse side of the bars.
When first introduced, the Hareaus (sic) Kinebar was seen as a fresh idea that would launch a new era in gold minting. In fact, the Hareaus (sic) gold bar was actually given the label 'revolutionary bar.' The kinebar was very well-received because of its gorgous, original look and because it provided an alternative investment vehicle for gold investors.
Because of the proliferation of gold counterfeiting, the invention was very much needed. The KINEGRAM holegram (sic) furnishes a new measure of validity and security in the field of precious metal trading.
Although the price of the Hareaus (sic) Kinebar gold bar is typically higher than that of other gold bullion bars, most investors are willing to pay the additional cost because of the certification of the gold purity.
