Not quite.... I believe it is $739 for the bar PLUS $1700 shipping for a total of $2439. About the same as 100 ASEs.

Better hurry, says it's in someone's cart .....
Price is right without shipping.
See if the seller would accept a prepaid return postage box to ship you the item.
Huge red flags go up these days as soon as I see the word etsy.

Exactly what was the item?? It is gone now.... Inquiring minds want to know... Cheers, RickO

A 100oz engelhard silver bar.

Does etsy charge a final value fee like ebay? It used to be common practice on ebay to build a high shipping cost into the total cost on a low-priced item, in order to avoid a higher final value fee.

I believe Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee and 5% transaction fees on the sale amount and the listed shipping cost. So that seller wouldn't be taking advantage of Etsy. And, I'm sure an offer to come pick the bar up in person would not have been entertained.

I realize that some legitimate sellers are on Etsy. That being said, in the past when I saw results from searches it was filled with all types of fakes. I wouldn't buy there.
