record time selling 100 oz silver bar

So I have been getting calls for days looking for silver. Literally none has come in. It used to be 100 oz bars were impossible to get rid of.(at least for me) Today, I leave the shop head for mc donalds to get a burger, guy calls looking for silver , don't have any. then a guy calls asks what I am paying for 100 oz, give quote, be right over, I call the guy back who just called, I said 100 oz on way, but need spot plus 1.25, no problem he said. I walk in the door too sit down and eat my burger, guy walks in with bar, pay him in cash, as he is walking out, guy comes in to buy it. never had this happen before. crazy times.

    Six and 3/4 pounder plus cheese. ;)

    Only $1.25 over? That's very fair in today's market. APMEX is pre-selling their house-brand struck bars for $4.99 over in quantity.

    Is the monkey carrying a small bat? ;)

    Wouldn't it be nice if all business transactions went down like that

    Well that eliminates any 'carrying cost' that often is associated with inventory... ;) Cheers, RickO

    Your buyer was probably giddy with joy at your price. I almost died of shock looking at the current premiums at APMEX and the others.

    Eagles

    and the bars, all are sold out and this is the 'presale' of their house brand.

    I agree 1.25 over is a deal right now.

    I'm holding off buying a 2019 and 2020 for my Dansco, I can't imagine paying $24 each for a monster box.

    Of course, 1.25 over was a nice deal for your buyer, but I'm sure you've earned a life-time customer.
    You can never have enough people calling and looking for this kind of stuff.

    It's not much of a markup, IF you paid spot......
