Monitoring on eBay an auction for a 100 Toz Canadian Mint bar. Listed for 5 days now with 5 to run, the price is, at the time of posting less than 10% of spot ( excluding our 20% tax in the UK ). If potential bidders are scared off by the risk of the unknown ( me for example ) and if the bar is genuine ( how would you tell ? ) someone might be starting 2013 with Lady Luck on their side. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-oz-Royal-Canadian-Mint-RCM-9999-Fine-Silver-Bar-/230902440214
With 5 days left, wasn't that predictable? I have been buying on ebay for a year (it's over since a year too haha) and often the 'real' bidding starts in the last day, or even in the last hours to minutes. Those that place those early bids usually do it just to have the item in their list so that they can track it.
