Made the rounds today

piecesofme

Went to 5 locals and even a pawn store and NOTHING, and I mean nothing worth laying any $ on the counter for out there.

This is what I came up with today:
Plenty of $25 .999 silver available for generic bars
$27 for AU Peace Dollars
$29 for AU Morgans
$24.50 for VG-XF Dollars (mostly Peace of course)
$15.75 x face for 90%

All I did today was burn gasoline, I'm not paying those prices. Everyone still thinks Silver Spot is $22 LOL if they even did have anything they were willing to sell. There was no volume deals to even be considered.

Anyone else have any better luck trying to find silver on the dip?

Provident has $.59 above spot rounds and bars available until midnight with free s&h if you buy one item from a selected group. I don't bother with B&M stores any more. In most cases they can't compete with the "big boys."

I like buying off the ebay and put a BUNCH of bids out for some 1964 and before mint/proof sets. I was blown out of the water!! Most were selling for around $20 for a proof set and sometimes over $40 for mint sets. Not including shipping. Crazy I tell ya

Plus they're tossing in a free APMEX flash drive on orders over $500! But ASE are $5.50 over spot!

I was at a BM last week. Saw some ASE's sitting on the bottom shelf. I asked the lady what they are going for "these days" and she said, well, I am into those a lot, if you come back next week, I might have some I can let you buy. In my entire life, I was never told I could not buy something in a store that was right in front of me. She didn't even give me a price.....I have not gone back yet. I did buy some other items not silver related.

Yup. You can buy from the same places that they do.

thanks for the heads up, but I'm not going to buy a $1k face (which is the minimum to get the better pricing) bag of 90% in a declining market and have to wait probably at least a week to have it in hand. A guy could get slaughtered taking that chance. 90% is only to be dealt with face to face at that moment unless you're just cost averaging down from when Spot was >$30, whcih alot of folks are.

Ya gots to pay extra for the *shiny* silver, and for the 50+ years old history. Plus each set also has bonus pennies and nickels, and usually collectible envelopes and other packaging like COAs. And then there's "handling" If you want "just silver", you buy ugly silver in bulk.

Ooops, almost forgot the most important part, the Profits! Everyone who buys and sells and otherwise handles precious metals wants to get some Profit out of it, and someone else obviously must pay the Profit to them.
(in other words, no one does this for free or at a loss, at least not intentionally, do they?)
