" have to buy one of them soon when I got the cash."

Why wait when you can hypothetically buy it now?

 

another 1 ? i think il start calling you hypo !!!

 

It is only a survey guys. Hypothetically id pay $1200

 

I have sold silver at spot plus 4%, so id be happy paying spot plus 4% through a private sale. What do people think of that idea?

 

Wasn't a thread already created like this? How about you change the title to SURVEY:

 

I think the request is to submit private, confidential bids.

Rule one in negotiation - never reveal to your competition your highest price.

 

When does your hypothetical sale end?

For an offer process that is blind there should be a deadline...however when selling a price/time sensitive commodity don't expect offers until the deadline.

Rule two in negotiation - always wait till the deadline given by the other party to agree on price...

 

Why are you doing this again??

 

Just a few addendums to make here:
1. This offer ends wednesday 6pm, so all offers until then will be considered.
2. The reason i'm doing this again is that last time it was an open bid/auction type thing whereas now it is by PM - confidential bidding... so i can see what a difference that makes. I will let you guys know what the result is so that you can use that knowledge yourself when you want to sell here.

Thanks for your PMs/offers thus far - keep them coming

 

Well i suppose i should tell you that i have already received better offers than i did last time with the open bidding ... so lesson # 1 is that its better to advertise and request private PMs for offers as opposed to open auction...

The idea now is to see <b>just how much better</b> this is

 

I just have to ask, how can you tell that you could actually sell a bar at the prices you are hypothetically being offered? I could offer you spot +100% right now just for shits and giggles, and win your hypothetical auction, even if I don't have $2 for the bus tomorrow

 

careful...someone may deliberately contaminate your data pool.

In my experience people behave differently in hypothetical vs real situations but I have sold bugger all silver. Do you find this is a good method for market research? Do you manage to get an adequate number of respondents to help you make assumptions?

I'll shut up now, you piqued my interest as I hadn't seen hypothetical sale scenarios here before, good luck with the research and the sales.

Dellers,

btw can I wager that offers will be 1200 plus/minus an oz of Ag?

ps my 'wager' is strictly hypothetical. lol : D

 

I love it when im right!

If anyone is planning to Auction their house just remember this!

 

GP - no - this is more like research - sorry - i should have put that in the title.

 

Fair point there mate. You are correct - in most "surveys" there will be data collected which is suspicious. i will ignore any such offers which i suspect are not bona fide.

 

Guys - i think i've had enough feedback now thanks.

The conclusion is simple - it's better to sell your bullion by requesting people to offer their highest bid by PM instead of having an open auction.

The winning bid was for spot + 10% - which is more or less what i expected for the best looking bar around with immediate availability etc..

Thanks everybody, and I believe i speak for everybody here when i say that this site ROCKS!! Gold Pelican is the man!!! Thanks GP!!
