I went to the local B&M today.......ANSWER REVEALED

goldengolden Posts: 10,556 ✭✭✭✭✭
I found two .999 Silver Rounds in a desk yesterday that someone gave me years ago. I did not need them so I took them to the local B&M to sell. A lot of B&M s are badmouthed on this forum ,so what do you think I was offered? I will post the offer later tonight.


They were two different oddball rounds.I was paid $32 each, which I thought was very fair.I go to this shop every now and then and they have always paid the customers a fair price and they also sell at a fair price.In my opinion it is one of the better B&M s.

    Agree. You want to use this single experience to show us how honest and ethical a B&M can be.

    The price should have been very good for you.

    .999 silver rounds are about the best buy for a coin store right now, because they are in high demand and they are very liquid.

    I can't guess unless I know whether the offer was accepted or not by the OP.

    I'll say right around $30 each, Unless they are some sort of rarities.

    Some magic beans that you planted, that turned into a tall bean stalk which you climbed. You got to the top and saw Stew Blay's copper collection which you grabbed only to be chased by Blay. You got to the bottom and... WOW, that is some good stuff! My imagination guys!

    I'll guess they were weird rounds, and you were offered $27 each.

    Sounds like the type of dealer that I would go out of my way to give my business to. You should post the name of this dealer. Good dealers who treat their customer fairly should be acknowledged.
