    The 2 smaller ones appear to be homemade bars, and I dont see a weight or metal stamped on them. They just read "999". But 999 what exactly???

    Now I see it image

    "note to bidders!!if this item does not bring acceptable price it will be taken down.i will post when bid is reasonable"


    After reading that I don't think I would even place a bid.

    Sounds like a violation of eBay terms:

    "Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated."

    looks neat but what is the weight of each of them anyways???

    Not too worried about it saying 999 silver as there are many old bars that don't list that also.

    The 5 oz bar you have normally sells around $100. You might get $50 for the other two if you're lucky.

    If a bar doesn't say the purity (999, 99.99, .995) AND the metal type (silver, lead, copper, gold) I don't buy it, period.

    why do i bother with the folks on this forum?
  • adamlaneusadamlaneus Posts: 6,969 ✭✭✭
    A real answer:

    $136.80 seems a fair price. Based on today's close.

    There are obviously some concerns about authenticity when viewing a style of silver bar one has never seen before. This probably scares some potential silver buyers away.

    On the other hand, there may be folks who collect odd unique bars.

    I could not begin to give you an accurate estimate on the premium associated with these bars, thus it is safest to assume a 'melt' price.

    The problem with canceling auctions early is the sniping factor. Folks snipe to avoid shills and otherwise causing excitement and driving up prices. Unfortunately, you won't know what the actual sales price would have been if you cancel, as a sniper tends to place a bid very, very late; seconds before the close.

    You know that you have to cancel an auction 12 hours prior to it's ending, right? Otherwise you cannot cancel the listing.

    << <i>crown is generic? >>




    No, but the other HALF of what you are selling IS!!! You have been told numerous times by numerous people that those smaller bars could be anything. They could be .999 lead for all you know! You asked a question, and have gotten answers from at least 2 of the sharpest silver bugs in this forum when it comes to oddball stuff, and thats myself and Cars. You choose not to listen though for some reason.
