@bronco2078 - I've never purchased from MCM because I don't care for their shipping policy, I think 5 days handling is ridiculous. I'm not familiar with any stunts they have pulled in the past, but some of their negative reviews has me a bit wary.

My 100 silver Philharmonics arrived today from MCM. Shipping seemed to be a bit longer than firms such as Apmex but all told I was satisfied with MCM. After ebay bucks, 2% CC rebate and 1% Swagbucks the net price was right $16.96 each.

Using Bronco's first link for the Apmex $10 gold on ebay, I used my ebucks and the 8% ebucks deal.
The coin came in today.
I expected a simple gold $10 commem in a capsule. What I got was a NGC slabbed $10 gold commem. Interesting in that this is the lowest graded slabbed commem I have seen.
Obviously, I didn't buy it for the grade, but for the gold content. (Photo is from NGC's shot of it). Price guides have it for $760 but, I think it is more the gold content than it is near the price guide.
Btw.....the picture makes it look much nicer than it is. It has hairlines/scratches that aren't evident in that photo.....
Sometimes APMEX gets a bad rap but I've gotten a few pleasant surprises along those lines . Its a low grade for something like that but the upside is it should make it easy to sell since its been authenticated.
It does seem odd that someone would slab that if it was scuffed up , there is probably a story behind it.
Using the same Apmex offer I was surprised to receive two $10 2003 First Flight commemorative coins instead of the more typical $10 1984 Olympic coins.

That was a great deal, wish i would of picked some up!
Speaking of fast shipping... I just received an order from texasgse on Ebay that i paid for yesterday morning. I can't believe a package picked up in Austin, TX at 4:52 p.m. made it to my door in AZ at 5:18 p.m. using UPS 3 day select!
I wish all my orders were that fast.

And this one ggives you Ebay Bucks on both sides of the deal - buy and sell! They mentioned earning Ebay Bucks on the sell side with the new rules, but this is the first time I know of that it has been offered...
Today might be the day to unload stuff you don't like as much. Non core bullion , dupes etc. Get paid 10% to sell you could dump silver at spot and the bucks would just about pay the fees

Not everyone will get to earn 10% on both buy/sell. My account is 10% on purchases only
while my wife's account is for both buying and selling. I guess it's because I rarely sell.
I actually listed and sold something for $925 - should be $92.50 in Ebay Bucks heading my way. The Ebay Bucks haven't shown up in my account yet. On purchases, they show up almost immediately.

Same here. I called and was told it will show up later. The fine print actually says it will appear by March 5th.
We are building up a pretty good journal of offers over the past year . Maybe enough to time out a possible upcoming offer around the 8th and what looks like a definite around the 15th
I sold off all my war nickles during the 10% ebay bucks for selling , If I get the bucks awarded to me , which hasn't happened so far , I'll have netted 1$ per war nickle it wasn't easy though

The model seems pretty accurate for dates
I sold off all my war nickles during the 10% ebay bucks for selling , If I get the bucks awarded to me , which hasn't happened so far , I'll have netted 1$ per war nickle it wasn't easy though
I also sold three items during the 10% Ebay Bucks selling period. Mine haven't shown up yet, either. But given that the period just ended yesterday, maybe they were waiting for that. If nothing has shown up by mid-month, I plan on calling them. I had a similar situation a while back on a purchase where the Bucks never showed up. I called in and the rep took my explanation and fixed it on the spot.
I will WAG that they will show up during end of billing cycle or after some such delay as I had a pay max $50 FVF offer and that did not show until the end of the billing cycle.
For those that like Canadian Bullion I noticed Ebay seller Bullion Exchanges has bullion listed in the Canada Category eligible for Ebay Bucks.
I'm not saying the prices are below melt or anything but for those that like to get some of the odder stuff , its not very often you can get Ebay bucks on it. If you are going to buy it anyway might as well grab the bucks
Never received a special offer like this from eBay... and I do have that enabled in my settings. I guess they don't give these to those with active selling accounts or stores maybe? Oh well. These offers do certainly get lots of offers (and sales) to suddenly hit my account though, so I'll hold off on complaining for the most part
No one seems to have figured out what algorithm they use to determine who gets these offers. I started a store last month, but received the offer... so that rules that out. Perhaps a person has to maintain a certain number of transactions per month or so? It's a mystery to me...
I still haven't gotten my seller bucks from last time. I'm dying to see how that plays out. I activated todays offer and 20 minutes later sold a $400 item will I get bucks for that ? Inquiring minds want to know

I think it is only for items listed since the offer was issued. At least that is how it was last time, figured that out the hard way.

The selling bucks are not great then this time , if it has to be listed and sold within 2 days. Half the time it takes 2 days before items even get indexed into search. Unless you list gold below melt as a buy now and the refresh brigade picks it off

Three accounts, the only one that receives the offer is the one I regularly use for buying. Try doing all your buying from a single account. Once you get the offer, it should come regularly.
