I'd generally recommend Apmex, Provident or JM Bullion whether buying or selling.
Has anyone ever dealt with Lear Capital? BBB reviews don't look encouraging: https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/los-angeles/profile/precious-metal-dealers/lear-capital-inc-1216-13059407/complaints

I've bought from Apmex, Provident, and JM Bullion, but my personal favorite is Bullion Exchanges.
Philippians 4:4-7
I buy here and there on the forum but when I want specific things, Apmex.
Most recently - Apmex, Scotsman Coin, JM Bullion, Mid-America Coin. All are solid in my experience.
I knew it would happen.
Auctions, normally get for close to or less than spot
If gold coins, Great Collections is a great place to buy. There are a couple hundred different gold PCGS graded eagles for sale there, including some of mine, the next few weeks and many are selling for less than the US Mint's current pricing.
Silver, I like Bullion Exchange. For silver, eBay once in a while.

Apmex with the Bullion card 1 year no interest, 4% rewards and look for the "any quantity" not the "as low as" sales. Gutter and gold, 9fine mint 5&10 oz silver bars also First Spouse gold coins were/are some of the best deals received.
Provident, JM and eBay were always good.
I find that JM Bullion is best for me. I have a local dealer that treats me well too. Liberty is always a fallback for me.

I used to buy from American Metals/Barry Farb in Oregon, superb operation, not sure if he's still in business.
Usually either Pedro, Joe, or Ishmael. Occasionally Costco, BGASC, Liberty. RGDS!

I like SD Bullion, Hero Bullion, and JM Bullion. Whoever is the cheapest gets my dollars.

I'll buy from anyone, anywhere if the price is right. I'll sell to anyone, anywhere if the price is right.
Best results have often been buying and selling directly to stackers.
Bought before from ^that guy^.
P.s. Love the early VH. Fair warning is still my all-time favorite. RCKN!

I target ebay sellers who clean out estates. The guy selling a ton of car parts, vinyl records and old shirts often has some killer coins for cheap. Sometimes it means waking up at 1:30am to snipe an auction but hey I can't complain. I'm also old now so I can't sleep anyway so it kinda works out.
Apmex is over-priced. Sure they are large and reputable, but not for their excessive premiums.
Agreed. That’s been my experience, too. In fact, the few sellers I’ve seen on eBay selling for no spot have been these type of sellers. It also helps to look for searching by non-common keywords and/or categories.
dbs out of california, always had good luck with them

Friends.
The best and most transparent platform to buy and sell coins and precious metals is collectpure.com. We offer the most competitive rates and prices in the market.
Our pricing is straightforward and clear, ensuring you always know the value of your transaction. Our team is always available to answer questions via chat or phone. With live updates, collectpure.com is the best place to buy and sell gold, coins, and other precious metals.
I've had great luck with BGASC in California, best advertised prices I could find when I wanted some metal. Shipping was really fast and good packaging. The best part was the packaging didn't scream "gold bars, steal me!". Another plus was they didn't sign up here just to spam the board. It's a board for COLLECTORS and business ads should be paid ads, even if they're small time dealers nobody has ever heard of.
I have nothing to do with these folks except a few successful buys.

I knew it would happen.
Some of my favorite saved searches are typos. All the 1993-S proof silver eagles that don't exist, silver mapel leaves, etc. People often copy an existing listing so the date or grading company is wrong. Other people don't wanna buy it because they think it is a scam. I'm happy to make money off that risk. It pays off a lot more than you'd think.
It's worth looking at every coin photo anyway and not just assuming the seller got it correct because they very often don't. When I find an item like this I'll check their other items and follow them because it almost always happens again.
Any good black Friday deals out there on bullion? I'm cash heavy and itching to buy some metal. THKS!

The only who is Ron Rheim ( Iowa Bullion Traders) but Ron is my age and he told me he’s about done.
Otherwise the question would be “where” do I buy?

My walk-ins , mostly.
Private message me dude
Lots of Black Friday deals were out there (and likely still are). Buying at spot opportunities.
I got offered silver at spot plus $.25
Most would jump at that. Not here though.
Buying from estate sellers, comic book shops and casual resellers has been really good to me lately.
I really like the people who sell auto parts or hunting equipment and they list some random coin for pennies on the dollar.
Or like a dude who sells holsters suddenly has a loaded Dansco or whatever.
There are some coin sellers who I think are more interested in the fast money than getting full value from pieces and sometimes it's really easy to catch a string of auction items from them for cheap. Then just relist them for sale before they even arrive in the mail.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna buy from big sellers again. I really like where I'm at. Maybe a little more risky but that's what chargebacks are for. So is it even risky at all..

Thanks, got tired of shoveling and blowing all this snow so decided to go out and buy a UTV. That will put a dent in my metal purchases for a bit. If you run across any of those 10oz RCM gutter bars at a decent price please let me know. I am able to spring for a few. RGDS!

I'll sell you five or more for $2.50 over kitco spot bid price. If you can find them lower please let me know. Had extra gutters after doing the new house.

You are certainly close, and I contemplated PMing you about it. Never thought in a million years I would be buying gutter metal from @derryb. LOL The end must be near. RGDS!

I’ve had good experiences with APMEX, JM Bullion, and Bold Precious Metals too, especially when it comes to customer service and product selection. They all have solid reputations and usually offer competitive prices. There’s also a website called Bullion Mentor that helps you find the best precious metals dealers by comparing prices and premiums—it can save you a lot of time.
I’ve tried many. I like APMEX & Money Metals. I find Provident’s website not to be very user friendly.
