Don't these look like what Gecko is doing?

Pretty neat but I wonder if we can trust the seller? We can trust Gecko because his reputation is on the line image

    Nice find mkman. I think that auction is a perfect example that there is a market for no brand bars. I personally would not buy any of those and especially the gold.

    I definitely wouldn't trust any gold from a unknown maker!

    Those bars on ebay still got 15+ an oz, not bad!

    I have no problem trusting Gecko on the fineness of his bars because I know him.

    My problem as a retailer is, how do I convince a third party that the silver is good?

    not only would I not buy them, but think of the hassle when the time comes to unload them quickly.

    You're going to take such a % hit on the total price, that it could turn out quite costly.

    Novlities, talk about a hit when it comes time to sell and you think 90% silver takes a hit when silver rises. You'd have to have silver at over $50 a ounce just to break even.
