    What's amazing is there will be people here that buy for $2 over from them, but wont buy for $1.50 over on the BST here. image

    I haven't seen any name brand 1 oz silver bars for $1.50 over spot on the BST. If you have any at that price, I'm interested. Many times silver bars on the BST are optimistically priced.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    First of all, I wasn't refering to any of MY BST offering, but I have seen 1 oz generic silver on BST where it was so close to being $1.50 over that all it would've taken is to ask the seller and they most likely would've done it if you did a quantity purchase.

    Second of all, leave my avatar alone image It's Zack G. from the Hangover movies. A role model for anyone who enjoys being mentally unstable and goes on a bender once every few years when a new movie comes out.

    Back to the subject...I have some tarnished up (some would call toned) and colorized silver Eagles that I'd let go for $1.60 over Spot ($22.00 is my basis point), but the shipping will not be free. It will be half of what it'll actually cost me, $8.50.
    So if $4.25 for shipping is a deal breaker for 22 "undesirable" ASE's at $1.60 over Spot ($22.00 is basis point), you are a hypocrite, because it's basically the same as what Silvertowne is offering, and you wont have to wait up to 3 weeks to get the product buying from me like you will with them. Let's see if I get any messages in my inbox.

    I don't think comparing a new Silvertowne silver bar to a tarnished or colorized ASE is a valid comparison. As you said, they are "undesirable".

    LMAO. POINT PROVEN. They BOTH are 1 oz of silver being what one is vs. the other. Here's why. The undesirable ASE is the equal to a new Silvertowne bar. If you disagree, that's telling me alot about the thought process ones mind is taking on this...and I can ship faster for $4.25 when it's going to cost me $8.50.

    I am offering a "toned" and/or "not UNC" ASE for basically the same as a 1 oz generic silvertowne bar, and you would buy the silvertowne? I'm sorry, but I almost fell off the chair laughing. That's crazy just for the fact that a ASE is a denominational coin of $1, or did you forget that? It will never be worth less than $1. Silver can be less worth than $1. Not likely, but can be.
    I've discussed this countless times that one has to factor that in to the price of a ASE...it's always going to be worth at least $1 no matter what, and if you think the Mint and the bigger sellers dont take that into account, then that's very naive of you.

    There are a lot of people trying to talk me into buying their silver, it's hard to decide who to buy it from, or even if I want to buy it.

    If it was so great, why would they be trying to get rid of it?

    I would agree they are not to be compared.. That said I'd be all over the ASE's mentioned at $1.60over before the ST Bars... Those ASE's will have a greater return down the road compared to the ST Bars.. No mater what the price of silver does...just my experience talking here..image

    Not so, at least I've been purposely offering more affordable Lots. Look back what I said...22 ASE's for $1.60 over Spot, or $520 delivered

    But I guess folks who are cash poor to even pay for a Lot worth $520 would whip out the old credit card and purchase $1000 from ST.
    Again, i'll ask, what's the better buy? Paying cash ($520) or buying on credit card ($1000+ because they usually have minimum oreders to be able to GET the good price), even if you do have a 0% card for a defined time period, eventually that runs out too.

    Maybe it's just me but I don't like colorized ASE's. $1.60 is certainly a fair price for what they are. They may be a good buy for a flea market vendor though but I doubt a serious silver stacker would be interested in them. I would put them in the same category as war nickels and .400 Kennedy halves. YMMV

    I don't disagree on the colored ASE's which I believe was only 5 of the 22 coins sold as a lot... That said. They will still be a better premium than the ST bars down the road...even if dipped/cleaned/run over...I'm a serious Silver stacker... I would certainly not lump that in with war Nickles or 40%.... However if anyone here has ASE's to sell at premiums or discounts that war Nickles or 40% get.. Please contact me... image

  • piecesofmepiecesofme Posts: 6,669 ✭✭✭
    Lets talk about what the root of the problem is. eBay has brainwashed buyers into thinking it costs nothing to ship. Now that has spilled over into sites such as this.
    If you mail something of worth and don't insure it and only require sig. Conf., I feel that you are really taking a chance. More often than not, the p.o. Doesn't care and/or won't ask. All you have to say is that it was something that was irreplaceable...THAT is why I insured it, and they will back off and start the investigation to make you whole. As much as some complain about the p.o., they will make you whole, you just have to have a lot of patience.
    But if you did not insure the package, what recourse do you have in the event the contents are damaged, or lost?

    I understand the point you're making nibanny, glad that you're getting the service you're paying for. I have heard people on here and ATS complaining about the larger refiners taking up to 3 weeks to mail though, then possibly another 5 days to actually get to you once they mail the package. All I'm saying is, on a bullion deal, time is of the essence because alot can happen in a month. Glad it's working out for you.

All I'm saying is, on a bullion deal, time is of the essence because alot can happen in a month. Glad it's working out for you. >>



    POM, I wasn't trying to make any point in particular. You know that I would deal with you any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
    I agree that on bullion deals it's best to have your stuff on hand as quick as possible (unless you plan on stacking for a very long time)
    I just wanted to report that SilverTowne has been always great with their process time.
    This is due to the fact that you can only pay via CC, not check, but still the work fast!

    Speaking of checks, I noticed that Apmex has the shortest "clearing period" for checks.

    << <i>what does APMEX charge to ship a roll of eagles? >>



    $14.95, since now Eagles are $26.20 each.

    These are their shipping charges:
    $9.95 (USD) for orders of $50.00 - $499.99 (USD)
    $14.95 (USD) for orders of $500.00 - $4,999.99 (USD)
    Free for orders of $5,000* (USD) and over >>

    thanks, good to know their rates, never ordered a lot at once from them. Only small amounts.

    APMEX has good customer service and fast delivery but their prices are usually higher that most of the other bullion dealers. One needs to decide if fast delivery is more important than getting the best price. I usually go for the best price since I'm patient and I'll be keeping my purchase for a long time anyway.

    Good logic that I generally agree with. What I would add however is that before I make any serious purchase of anything I consider a few other things, like:

    - How long have they been in business?
    - Who are the owners? This is important, IMO. If no mention and no bio, why?
    You'd be amazed to know what the owners of some of the newer bullion companies to emerge
    were doing just prior to opening shop as a bullion dealer.
    - How does their BBB look? If they are not a member, why?
    - Does it all just look to good to be true? If it does, it probably is.
    - Do I smell a hard sell? Instant turn off.
