    Probably not many dealers want to schlep bullion home.

    Try Orlando coin exchange (booth 834). Jason is a great guy, and they wouldn’t have to ship anything back because they are local.

    Shop it around and approach multiple dealers. All it takes is one buyer.

    That increases the cost and/or the time to sell. If you take PP, you need to add at least 4% plus shipping. Shipping adds risk. If you want to save the PP fees then you need a wire transfer or a mailed check.

    It’s bulky and low margin not something I fool with (not even worth the risk, hassle of shipping). But there should be a couple of dealers in that venue there. Ask around somebody will direct u to them. I do handle some slabbed bullion material sell around CDN CPG.

    But “read the room”, as they say…if the dealer’s sign indicates they are from out of state and all they have are a couple dozen high end slabs in their case, move on. Look for dealers with bullion displayed, often with buy/sell prices posted.

    It’s an additional source. He may get a ready buyer without having to lug his material to the show, around the bourse & perhaps back home. If he doesn’t get a BST buyer, of course the show should be another venue.

    Absolutely. I’m not going to try and sell junk silver to Legends.

    I had a bunch of 40% silver that I was looking to sell at the last Long Beach show. I approached a lot of dealers who I thought might be interested based on what they were selling at their table and they all had no interest. Approached one more table and got a very fair offer.

    David Lawrence buys gold coins..check if they buy silver. Found them to be very fair.
