    Does anybody know that if you bought 2 lots for a total of 20 coins that
    they would ship them in a mint tube?

    I shouldn't have but I had a 10% off one item coupon. So I got 10 for $202.49. Not too shabby I think.

    I just happened to look on ebay for a ebay to usmint price comparison and saw this deal.
    I came here to see if there was any talk or cautions first, the placed a double order.
    Not bad. Money tight lately. But too good to let pass. Still good as retirement money.

    Still trying to get the wife to stop buying from the mint, esp the ASE proofs.

    Just got a reply back from Apmex...

    Quantities of 20 will be in mint tubes, and smaller quantities will be in coin flips for protection during shipping. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Just for everyone's information, here is what I received just now from APMEX:


    "Thank you for your inquiry. Depending on quantity (depending on multiples of 20), these coins may arrive either individually wrapped in a flip container, or shipped inside of a tube. These tubes may be from the mint or from APMEX’s own supply of tubes. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you and have a great day.

    Was out all day. Found the eBay email with the deal when I got home and saw it had already been posted.
    In for 3 as, while I think spot will go down a bit more, can't tell if they will jack their premiums again like they usually do.... and this is free shipping on a "small" amount and I could use my CC with no extra fee (PayPal).
    Good to go.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    My guess is $100k. That would be 5% total fees for the "house" and I can't imagine it would be much more (or less) than that.

    Wow, I'll be interested to see if the shipping gets snarled. 100 lots sold this morning while I surfed the internet for about 30 minutes...12,848 so far. I'm sure tons are multiple lots to a single address, but still. Just Wow.

    Back in the 2000/2001-ish time frame I had my one and only significant rip off on ebay and it was for a huge bullion rip off scam in play. (The guy actually ended up in jail! I got updates on his status, when he got released etc). IIRC correctly I was in for about 4 ounces of gold (about a grand back then...) but overall it was thousands of ounces of gold involved, an ALMOST too good to be true BIN deal. I have been gun shy about 'great deals' on huge ebay bullion sales since then, but hey, this is APMEX and one of the companies I have bought from since way back when.

    I feel mildly dumb. Thought that with 8 lots of ten coins, the buyer got 2 extra. Apparently not so.

    Great bargain nevertheless.

    What I think holds them back a bit, or I should say me, from ordering more frequently on their website is the shipping cost/trouble when you just want one or a few things.

    I mean on Apmex ebay sales, lets say you want one missing date ASE. You can get it without paying the high shipping you'd have to at their website. The item may even be free shipping because they padded the selling price, but for a specific thing, its easy. Plus I have to sign or pickup at the PO if I order from the website. But with the Ebay its delivered.

    My guess is a comp from Ebay on the final value fee and 1.9% from Paypal.

    Ebay has been getting real loose with the fees.

    Reading the description, I think there will be mass confusion and a big problem for APMEX... lots of room for 'misinterpretation'!

    What they mean by "Free Silver! Get 2 Free Silver Eagles when you buy 8!" is 'Hey look, we just reduced the price by 20% from the normal price, so it's LIKE you are getting 2 free from every 10 you are buying" and NOT "we will send you 2 free Eagles for every 8 sold" or "for every 8 lots sold".

    I have a feeling this is going to be an issue...and perhaps a costly one for them as some will try and claim they were cheated out of the 'free' ones.


    edited to add: well, maybe not MASS confusion...but I'm sure there will be some, either honestly or willfully.

    Unlikely...first of all, this is not the first time they've used that sales tactic...secondly, some of us use English as our Mother language and had no problems in deciphering what is said.image

    I agree that they didn't use the best wording to market the auction. Though, they have already done this at least another time without any issue.
    The title says "lot of 10" and the fine print is pretty clear. It wasn't so the first time.


    On a side note. I checked their negative feedbacks, impressive how the majority comes from low feedback buyers...
    Also, there are some funny neutral ones.
    A "little pricey" 10 oz silver bar (why did you buy it?)
    A "smaller than expected" 2 peso coin (and that is Apmex fault? why don't you neg the Mexicam Mint?! LOL)
