Is this the cheapest 1 ounce gold premium on Ebay?

Looking for some gold bullion on ebay with my eBay bucks promo.

This is the lowest over spot I can find, which brings it below melt after ebay bucks.

Can you find anything lower?

    It depends on what your eBay bucks offer is.
    Bullion doesn't earn bonus bucks.
    If you have 5x bucks you can buy this for below spot with $100 off.

    1 oz Maple Leaf

    might consider a US gold eagle or buffalo. Cost a little more but ease of future resell and recovery of premium is in the bag.

    Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    Do some research on Modern $5 gold commemoratives. Recently, when gold had the half eagle melt value at 300, bought a Constitution (PCGS holder) for 305 plus 12 for shipping. If you compare the modern to an early half eagles weight, the modern is a few grams heavier. (base on coinfacts info and coinflation's info.)

    Excellent price....however, the bar is not that well known in the States, but along with PAMP, one of the best known and popular brands in the rest of the world.

    10 4...Once in a while, APMEX will have bullion listed in non bullion categories.

    I agree.

    Plus I'm a little suspicious of fake gold bars. Too easy to make.

    the gold in the OP's link is not eligible for ebay bucks (listed in bullion category). He might be referring to spending his existing ebay bucks.

    Silvertowne also lists some bullion in a non bullion category but I have not been impressed with the prices.

    Best if you can spend them to get them. (eBay bucks )

    A question for dealers:

    A man crosses the road to sell you this bar, how much under spot would you offer?

    Don't worry about a few dollars for the premium, just accumulate ounces.

    Gold is gold, and these are a known comex acceptable brand...that said, if they're retailing it at just $8 over spot, that doesn't speak well to any premium when you liquidate. Of course if you're holding long term you will presumably be selling into a higher market anyway so perhaps that doesn't matter to you.

    $8 over spot is not bad for a bar. I prefer AGE's, Maples, and Buffs. Heritage is selling 1 oz Maples for Spot +$19-$20. History has shown that the premiums on the US/Canadian sovereign mint gold holds up. If you do go the 1 oz bar route, make sure it's from from of the major bar makers, typically out of Switzerland. I'm leery of the fakes that keep showing up.



    To fully evaluate the value of the bar, you need to know what Apmex's buy price on them is. I would think they still maintain the same overall spread as they do on AGE's and Maples.



    RCM Maples:



    ENHANCED SECURITY

    The radial lines in the new 2016 GML's field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin.



    In 2013, the Mint introduced a new and unique Security Feature to confirm the authenticity of its GML coins. Derived from the same award-winning security technology applied to Canada’s $1 and $2 circulation coins, the GML Security Feature consists of a textured maple leaf, microengraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side (Maple Leaf side) of the coin. In the centre of this mark, visible under magnification, is the numeral “16”, denoting the coin’s year of issue.

    They don't have a buy price listed for that bar, but based on others, you might get $2 back for it. You'd probably need to have 10 or more to get that price.
