That will be my approach too - as will a number of the Brissy stackers I've been talking to at the meet last weekend. It's difficult to place the spread on sellers' prices, but if all else fails - buy the privies! RD
Can't build a full set of them though like the regular 1oz. IMHO this means less long-term demand. Depends what you are doing with them I guess.
^^^ Privies will be my fall back option also. Privies will help keep the plain bullion prices down. Mint have cannibalized their plain bullion sales with the privies thats for sure.
simple equation for me, how many of these buyers are flippers trying to make a quick buck e.g $160 each on eBay and how many are stacker's for the long term? if the lions share is going to flippers then guess what we have a bubble that is known as clown fish syndrome. i can see some unhappy people when these do not reach dragon mania probably end up getting them cheaper on ebay.
Less than 100 left on the BM website for anyone that is interested. I think it is a good price personally and will only be buying cheaper direct from the mint.
With rate spot is going... maybe not. ATM ~$9 over spot from PM so spot has to go up $3.70 in 6 days??
