Am I missing something here? Quite the premium at nearly 200 oz with time still to go - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Engelhard...=UK_Coins_Bullion_Bars_SM&hash=item2a296679b2
Thats daylight robbery I saw a tube of maples going for $1200 on thursday,its since gone from ebay,theres some idiots on there. Although if someone did puchase anything that far over spot its there own fault
For every ridiculously over-priced bar of silver on ebay, there's a sucker out there that will buy it so why not advertise it well over spot. Especially if you're not in any hurry to sell it.
A current entry in the Engelhard Insanity Derby... http://www.ebay.com/itm/181067049791?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 A 3oz bar "Buy It Now" priced @ $320 US. Not the most expensive of the lot, but still pretty crazy @ more than 3x spot. That same $320 will get you a 10oz bar today.
Englehard is a refinery that has closed down, they don't produce anymore, so what is going around is limited, so when supply doesnt meet demand guess what happens? Spot don't mean squat! People who buy this stuff generally aren't stackers
