Will there always be a premium on gold bars and 1oz. maples
Today I was offered some 1oz Pamp gold bars for $780 and maples for $800. I see them listed on the bay for $950-up. Just curious if that premium is always there or if its just b/c of the MS cashback thing. I'd like to purchase some gold and this seems like a good price but if the premium is gonna drop of these shortly I can space out my purchases instead of dropping $15K at one time. Offer is good for tomorrow only.
Its all relative

    That seems like a reasonable premium in the PAMP bar. I've paid $70 over spot here.

    Premiums are coming down pretty strong. We just dropped our premiums on Bars significantly so just be aware the supply of Bars is loosening a bit. MLs are still tough though.

    I bought a few 10 oz gold bars at spot from another dealer but that was when spot gold was in the $350's. Still have em too. Interesting how premiums change eh?

    I didn't get in quite that cheaply, but fairly close.

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
