    i am not sure how they get their price over spot. it seems to keep changing around. As in it just went up a bit more.

    I might take advantage again. We will see. I seem to like bars better
    but boy are they tough to find in quantity and a good price.

    When I posted this at around 3:30 they were 12.71 for 0-9 and 12.54 for 50+

    Probably a fixed percentage over spot plus some fudge factor. And the fudge factor seems higher when the spot price of silver is lower.

    I'm ready to buy several hundred of these things at these prices -- if the price reflects a typical spread, and maybe even a little more to account for fixed costs. But at $12.50-$13 with spot under $10? Nope.

    i dont think so. when silver was right around this price during a dip
    i bought 100 Oz at 12.66 an ounce. So did another forum member.

    Now with silver at the same amount +-10 cents.. they are more expensive.

    since i just wired the money today.. they will probably ship next week.

    FYI: Just keep in mind that if your paying by Credit Card they will charge your card only 15% and send you a note that the balance is due by check, MO, or wire transfer. They don't mention this until you recieve the note. I purchased 20 and called to complain about the lack of discloser, although I'd usually pay the credit card next month anyway it wasn't a big deal but that's still not right for new customers IMO.
  • I guess I read the payment terms before I bought....And don't waste your money on a wire transfer. I called and they don't expect the payment to arrive in 3 days... My checks, or M.O if you want next day shipping arrived in 4 to 5 days...

    They don't take full payment by CC because of the fees involved with those transactions....

    Other bullion sites do.. But their prices are higher to reflect the fees involved...

    3.1. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY TERMS FOR PURCHASES FROM TELETRADE DIRECT. For individual purchases from Teletrade Direct, Buyer must pay 15% of the price at the time the order is placed, such payment to be made by credit card submitted with the order or by Paypal. If payment is made through Paypal, Buyer must complete the Paypal payment transaction within three (3) minutes of leaving the Teletrade Direct website; if Buyer fails to do so, Teletrade Direct may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either (1) rescind the purchase without further notification to Buyer, and refund to Buyer any deposit paid, or (2) enforce the sale, with the right to liquidate the Product, and hold Buyer responsible for all losses, costs and expenses.

    For orders placed between 9:00am and 7:00pm ET on business days, the final price will be confirmed and locked in at said time. For other orders, the price will be confirmed and locked in on the following business morning by telephonic confirmation.

    The balance of the purchase price plus tax and any other fees and charges shall be due and payable by cash, cashier's check or check (credit cards are not accepted for the balance) received by Teletrade Direct within seventy-two (72) hours of placing the order. Once the Transaction is confirmed and only when the balance is timely paid in full or overpaid and good funds confirmed and cleared, will the Product be shipped to Buyer. Shipments will be made via registered, insured mail, and any balance of excess funds, if any, will be returned to Buyer by company check.
  • Same thing for me ttown, I just thought I wasn't paying attention as I went through checkout. I did cut them a check and got it to the PO before the last pick up time yesterday though.

  • << <i>Are these guys reliable/ship fast? >>



    They sent an email the day after my M.O was received saying the product was shipping out that day..

    3 days later the box arrived.... I like the fact they answer their phones with a LIVE person.

    No hoops to jump through to get a human....

    I bought 200 of these yesterday at $12.41 a piece... I'm not sure how they determine their sell price either because when I first went to the site yesterday they were $12.34 a piece and the price hasn't changed much since yesterday, I belive it is actually lower from when I purchased yesterday and now they are charging $12.94 a piece?

    Maybe it is also related to their inventory in stock?

    I was also caught off guard with thier 15% deposit and rest in cash becasue I didnt' read their terms before buying, but I didn't have much time because I had to add it to the cart, register, and purchase within the 10 min window that they give you to lock in the price.

    I also missed that $25 Voucher button because I was in a hurry.

    But their sell price seems to be closer to some other PM dealer's buy prices.

    I'm also in CA, so I should hopefully be getting these soon, seems like a decent deal for the current market and reputable source.

    Edited to add: Shipping was pretty expensive - $60... and I'm only about 50 miles from them.

    Found this in the FAQ of Teletrade Direct:

    All TeletradeDirect® orders are shipped within 72 hours of cleared payment using USPS and include full insurance. All shipments will need to be signed for on delivery.

    Shipping / Insurance Charges:
    Orders up to $2,000 will be charged $6 plus 25c per coin.
    Orders from $2,001-$5,000 will be charged $10 plus 25c per coin.
    Orders over $5,000, $20 plus 25c per coin.
    Gold, Silver and Platinum bars will incur an additional $10 per item to the above shipping and handling costs.



    Seems a little backwards to me... shouldn't the shipping price go down with additional coins?

    Shipping goes up because of the weight and the cost to insure.... The price of the coins go down because of volume..

    After exausting a week searching for silver bars or rounds at local shops and online (without any luck) I finally pulled the trigger on these, bought 65 @13.20, shipping & insurance came up to $22.00, the first time I started to order it went from 13.20 to 13.31, I waited a few minutes and it came back down to 13.20, after shipping it worked out to 13.53 an oz. I hate to pay that kind of premium but that is all there is out there right now. (Never could get the MSN LIVE Cashback deal to work on eBay)

    I talked to a rep at TTDirect and he said they would ship toward the end of the month, he claimed there was a 7 day wait to get them from the Brinks warehouse where they store them.

    Thanks to Manorcourtman for posting the info on this.

    Edited to add, Northwest Territorial Mint has these posted at $13.96 (that is if you could ever get them to answer the phone or respond to an e-mail, then hope they have them in stock!)

    My order of 40 has been confirmed shipped today. I sent them a check last Wednesday. Thats pretty good turnaround time. image

    Just an update, for those of you who may not know.

    I placed an order last Thursday (10/16/2008) and mailed them a check on Friday. They marked it received as of Tuesday (10/21/2008) but their company policy is to hold personal checks for 10 business days so be aware of that if you plan on doing business with them and mailing them a check. I suggested that they include that information in the deposit receipt email and if they had enough to fill my order they wouldn't have a problem mailing it to me earlier.

    I have had to call them a few times to clear some things up with my order and I have to admit that they seem like a good company to do business with. They are friendly and are a smaller operation so you can talk to the same person. But I am going to have to wait a little longer for them to process my order because they don't have enough in stock.

    I paid with wire transfer and it has taken awhile to receive the gold bullion. Guess they have been out of stock.

    Almost every place I have done business with, including the BST has a 7 to 10 day hold on check orders...
    This is common in every line of internet or auction sales... I can see both sides

    I have ordered 4 times in the last 2 months. The first 2 were with money orders. Mailed the next day. Well worth the few bucks
    for a money order... The other two times were with a check.. The orders were placed a week apart. The first was held for 10 days
    and arrived 12 days from payment recieved. The second order came 2 days later. So maybe they don't hold for 10 days after business
    has been done before...image

    As for them not having silver in-stock.. By your order date given. That was when they were showing a late October delivery. That was
    stated during your order week... Better than the 17 to 18 bucks Apmex was asking....image
  • ajbaumanajbauman Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭
    cinman14 - When I spoke to them on the phone they mentioned that once you do business with them a few times they will waive the 10 day hold on personal checks, so you are correct in your assumption there.

    The only reason I was a little disappointed that they weren't in stock is because there are other people who placed their orders after me and have received them already.

    I liked the price I paid and I am happy with their service I just want my silver already image
