    The BST is a good place?

    If you are selling anything other than scrap I would be interested... Especially Old US gold.

    the problem with "sending" anything is that prices are too volatile. If I were selling I would want to pinpoint my price at the moment I exchange my PM for $$. You could run into a problem where your gold is sent and the buyer "waits" to make the deal seeking a lower price, or could force you to take a price you don't want because he now has the gold you sent.

    Remember the phrase "he who has the gold rules" ? Well, when you ship your gold the holder of the gold does rule... even if you have a pre-set sale price.

    The transactions on the BST concern me at times. It's not 2004-2008 anymore where cash was flowing freely and everyone had it.
    Today, it's like a box of chocolates, you just don't know "who" you are going to get.

    The validity of the check and the ability to lock in the price over the phone is key for me. I can do that with Heritage, CNI, JGM, and others.
    I'd imagine Raroca, Silvertowne, Gainsville, Tulving and other large operations are competitive as well. As this market gets more volatile there
    will be buyers not honoring their stated price or bouncing their checks....esp. with "everyone" becoming a bullion dealer. Not all big dealers
    today have spot-free records going back into the 1980's. That's something I would consider being utilizing them as a dealer. If you don't have
    references with a large bullion buyer to "lock in" a price, you might be able to use your numismatic dealer references to pull that off.

    If you're ok with 20-35% of spot then you can use $Cash4gold, pawn shops, hotel buyers, or your national jewelry chains.

    Likewise...check their site for what they are paying. It depends on what you have & the # of oz.
