FYI

Apmex still has Gold Eagles for $23.99 over spot that this will work on

    It reminds me of Rockstar In the game GTA online sending players offers for what they call shark cards. For instance $20 that purchase offer brings a player $1.25 mill in game money plus a $1.75 m bonus. $3.0 m for 20 bucks. That buys a beginning player a lot especially if he just got off the plane at LSIA (LAX) with nothing to begin a new life in LS (Los Santos which is their name for LA). This week they are having double dollar payout on contact missions and high end apartments (10 car garage) 50 pct off (most expensive in game at $500 k vs it’s $1m reg price, others sale price around $200 $250k varying on locn).

    Playing the game can help w depression say ones career destroyed by oil price crash / forced early retirement.

    oddly, I keep getting it on the same count. When I got it last week, I had bucks in both accounts. I spent them in the one account but this week I got it in the same account.

    I broke down and spent them anyway from the other account. The Apmex gold is such a good deal that even 1% bucks + 2% CC makes it more than worthwhile to me.

    True story. Friday, I stopped at the Post Office to pick up the 2 Gold Eagles I bought from Apmex during last week's 8% offer. I drove straight to my gold guy and sold them at spot. I had paid $1511. Gold had gone up about $18 during the week, so I sold them at $1505. So for the net -$6 (+gas LOL), I got $27 in cash on my CC and $100 in eBay bucks.

    They just keep sucking me in.....

    Got the offer through the app but I keep getting an error message when I try to activate it, anyone else having this problem? Usually the email offer follows the app notification by a few hours, I may just have to wait for that.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Thank you - got the email a few minutes ago before I saw this and I'm in.

    $110 over spot. The deals others are posting are $20-$30 over spot before the discounts.

    I don't know how (or why) Apmex does it, even with their discounted rates.

    Actually, I'm not sure how @derrby does it even at the slightly higher price point. Am I the only one who pays 8.6% total fees? LOL

    Well I’ve stiffed two weeks in a row now. I tried the link above and was stiffed again, no go.

    I’m being punished again. Now I have to spend my bucks and get the 1%.

    Had the error message too but later signed in and it worked. Looking for something to grab with this offer.

    GSAs, OBW rolls, Seated, Walkers. Anything old and Colorado-focused, CO nationals.



    Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.

    I bought 1, but was charged tax. Texas is a no tax on bullion, so I will work on it in the am

    Catch-22. You get the bonus bucks because Apmex doesn't list it under bullion, so eBay's bot doesn't know it's bullion.
