My edit got swamped by extra posts in the interim so ill repeat my point I saw silver at $32 an ounce yesterday from a dealer Why so cheap? because it was second hand bullion
second hand bullion you say??? :lol: :lol: now i've heard everything! Just a suggestion - read "Investing in Gold and Silver" by Mike Maloney before commenting further on this thread
I think for myself yippekya. I listen to opinions, and frankly none of the opinions i've heard here make any sense at all. the silver has value. the manufacture does not (except the ones that agree with me of course)
I don't think it was swamped, your comment was read but received no response as do the sales threads with the high prices. No-one else cared, only the poster.
Its either a numismatic coin or its bullion. Coins have manufacture value obviously. bullion the manufacture cost is just that. A cost, it has very marginal value to my mind. Now is napthalene going to accept or reject my reasonable manufacturers cost over spot on his rounds or is he going to pretend their numismatic coins and ignore my generous offer?
I think RC has been living in a bubble all by himself ,that's why his so paranoid about everything And thinks things should be worked out to his advantage The world doesn't revolve around you mate You have to blend in with your surroundings
Thats one way of looking at it. I just see something is a load of BS and treat it accordingly. I don't care if everyone else disagrees, its still BS
Is that supposed to prove something? Anybody can list a buyback price but how much of their stock is from buyback?
And another: What does it prove? (and remember the OT, it is about seller's expectations). If you want to sell your metal then you can either sell it do a dealer from below spot to just above spot. If you choose to sell it privately then you can make more money - BUT - to expect (and get the shits when you don't, and view people like myself as "lowballers") to achieve the same price just because you are offering the same product as a dealer is ridiculous. We buy fish (not you Fish, real fish) from a wholesaler. We can also buy directly from a fisherman. But why would we when the wholesaler offers us added benefits? These being stock availablity and an account. We would only do so if the fish is cheaper but the same quality or better quality but the same price. By cutting out the middle man the pro fisherman and us (the consumer) gets a better deal. This is the way it is in any market, and if you don't see it this way, then you are wasting money.
I agree shiney im a simpleton too anyone that overcomplicates simple things is only trying to justify their own actions/prices/bullshit
No, whicle i am prepared to accept a small loss on some of my metal, i am not going to accept such a loss and hence will withdraw these items from sale. As spot drops, metal is withdrawn from sale until the economics become more favourable. I'd suggest you seek your items from alternative sources Roman. I intend to leave my sales thread up for another day in case those returning from holiday are interested then will withdraw the offer and discuss with dealers once i work out how much more i need to sell.
