Privateers or Ladies and Gentelmen of Fortune
Avast fellow fortune hunter!
Glad you found the time to stop by.
We Privateers (not pirates) are in the pursuit of “treasure hunting”, though ye might call it junking or antiquing, picking (like the boys on TV) or digging for dollars. In that vein, I refer to the likes of us as PRIVATEERS with good reason. If you are interested in me two cents, listen up matey .
The privateers of history were a true deliverance to warring countries. They were either a private person or a private ship, authorized by a government to engage as “commerce raiders” by letters of marquee. Sort of a hostile take-over scheme. The objective was to attack a foreign ship confiscating anything of value, sometimes the ship itself and then sell it at auction.
Sound familiar?
Today we live in a world ravaged of cash, desperately in need of some deliverance. Modern Privateers hunt for items of value at extremely low prices ( OK nearly stealing) and sell them at auction (or E-stores or anywhere that will bring a profit).
We engage in the philosophy; Buy Low – Sell High. NOT “steal from the enemy and sell fast”. (The second one is called pirating. Illegal punishable offence in every land because it comes with no Letters of Marque.
This new breed of Privateers, commissioned by simple necessity and entrepreneurial determination in a truly patriotic style should be celebrated. Their letters of marquee may be called a right to free trade, self preservation or an exciting adventurous past time, but their chutzpah has the potential to boost a ransacked economy.
Whatever the reason for joining the fray, Privateer-ing is a way of mobilizing cash without tapping an already over burdened economy. So pat "yer" self on the back, ya sly fox, for taking care of yer own and"yer" country!!
Are ye ready to weigh anchor in search of Gold?
Meet me 'n' these here scurvy scallywags at the forum as we chart our destinations, compare notes, share ideas and learn to navigate both the waters of the hunt and ports of call to sell our wares. We have tools of the trade, mapping techniques, maximizing profitable plunder and so much more.
2 things to know:
Pirate speak is optional and we believe in "Honor among theives."
And be sure to pick up yer Letters of Marque as ye join dem scurvy dogs on “Ginger Moon Privateers: Ladies and Gentlemen of Fortune inThe Privateers Tavern.
