I kept seeing Coins and Money excluded in the eBay fine print, so ignored them, but now I see it is followed by (but only for bullion within that category). I just did not read it right the first time and have not taken advantage of these for way too long.
Coins and money are usually excluded from ebay coupons, but only bullion is excluded from ebay bucks. There are sellers who list their bullion in a non bullion category which makes them eligible for regular and bonus bucks.

gold price is a reflection of dollar confidence. Right now confidence is high.

Whatever happens, I just want to get a 100 oz. silver Engelhard for < $900. I'm happy with drop...CNBC should tell Cramer to "buy, buy, buy" with his bull button shtick!

There are no guarantees in life. As long as the dollar is strengthening, you won't be aware of the fact that gold is strong in other currencies whilst appearing to get weaker in dollar terms.
The dollars that come flooding back into the US because of US trade policies will counteract the trend towards higher rates, but could also result in liquidity problems (dollar shortages) worldwide. This could result in some real hairy potential defaults.
Keep things in balance, however you perceive balance to be. Cash appears to be on track to becoming King for a day.

IMO, rates that high would indicate something so catastrophic that gold would do what it did when rates were 18%.
The Treasury could never get the revenue to pay out like that unless they threw in the towel on inflation and went full Weimar.
Corporations would have to offer higher rates than their customers would be able to support.
Homes and stocks would crash to their intrinsic value and gold would be the only asset with any use.
8-9% prime would bring down the house of cards.
Copper and brass is a leftover scrap from my occupation and although I strip my brass clean they don't pay well for it. I suspect great margins are maid in the scrap business and therefore don't think recycling effects raw brass or copper much..... production costs are well hidden. Yet isn't it funny when one complains about the price of a brass valve the first thing they say is 'its brass' ! Well I don't buy it, no pun intended.
I got 4 ASE's for $60 today. All my guy would let me have at these levels. He will not sell any more until the price goes up. He owns a jewelry store and can do that. I did my best under the circumstances.

I loved those guys. The dealers who won't sell until....."xxxxxx"
I bought and sold EVERY DAY.
Had customers asking me why I wasn't ...elated...when metals were up or ....destroyed....when they were down.
Spread, baby ....SPREAD.
To me, gold was always 4 bucks and silver was 35c cuz that's what I made per oz.
IF... I had to order to replace. Sometimes if I got to balance my buys with the sells, it was quite a bit more.
But that's rare. MY practice was to stay FLAT on "position" and just buy and sell.
Of course I also see the jerk dealers at the shows who are buried in some or all of their inventory and won't budge price until they can make a...... PROFIT. Oh lordy, how dumb!

Yeah, but this guy is a jeweler, not a bullion dealer. He should buy and sell at spread but doesn't have to. Can just say I am a jewelry store owner. Like I said I did my best to get more. He knows me well or would not have sold me any. Still $15 for an ASE I will take.

the payments on the national debt could never be paid back at 8 or 9 percent
Silver at 11x face at my local place today. Can't remember last time is was that low.

Here's a site that lists some of the ebay bullion eligible for bucks. A member posted a better site a while back, maybe he'll post it again.

this is really helpful - I don't have the patience to find these deals - thanks!
8 minutes later, it's 1244.00 !
that's because apmex has the price tied to the paper gold price, gold is currently going up, so the price is too
Palladium & Platinum going schizo today. They don't know whether to go up or down.
I knew it would happen.
buy some while it is falling and have some diff cost basis, keep track and wait.
i've been at this just about a decade and the roller coaster goes down, up, down, up. the key is to buy, watch, track cost.

Maybe Tesla has REALLY gone under.
I was thinking about re-starting up my gold mining operation this fall when it cools off.
With the price of gold dropping, geez I will lose even more than before
Is buying physical gold bullion the same as buying and "taking delivery" of pork bellies, lumber, sugar etc? If not why not?

It was always $1,241. He was referring to the final price after getting $100 cashback via ebay bucks.
Kinda. The catch is finding a butcher who will cut your pork chops into 10 oz bars.
