SPECIAL PRICE 1oz Credit-Suisse Gold Bar In Assay



I have been watching the prices on these and the differences between their eBay page and Website.



Just wondering if this was a decent price.

    decent price for those in the market for one. I personally would pay a little more for a gold eagle or buffalo. I'd also wait and catch some gold in a non-bullion ebay category that offers ebay bucks, and better yet, bonus bucks.

    Here's a good candidate, closer to spot with the bucks

    APMEX buy back price...Credit Suisse @ spot. Philharmonic @ spot + $10 ...You do the math & decide.

    Even after eBay bucks and CC reward points that's still $60 over. PASS!

    Buffaloes or AGEs remain my preference....premium over spot recovered at sale usually as derry has pointed out many times.

    APMEX raised their price after I posted it. After EB bucks, it was cheaper than the OP's bar. Can't remember the price, I should have posted it at the time.

    That is one of the things I noticed, how APMEX prices fluctuate throughout the day.



    The original bar I linked has gone up/down a few times today.



    From lurking here, I know the "Slabbed Bars" are not a favorite, but the "Special" price seems a lot lower than other bars and made me wonder why.

    APMEX along with all the major bullion dealers, peg their price to spot. If spot changes, so will their selling price. Either up or down accordingly. It's been like that for several years.
