So I went into a PM shop of sorts a few weeks ago and asked to buy some junk silver coins. The lady told me that they primarily just buy from the public and sell to a refiner. I ask, "well, what do they pay you for it? I'll pay you a little bit more." She looked at me blankly for half a second and said, "I'm not disclosed to provide that information." I said, "OK. I see. Well, have your boss call me if you don't mind."
You should've said something like...."Mam, I am not from the public, I am an official member of the SS (Silver Stacker) and you will sell me your junk silver, now get your ass in that safe & get me my silver, NOW BIACH !!"
"well, what do they pay you for it? I'll pay you a little bit more." are you sure she understood you were talking about silver?

Nah, should have just used the Jedi mind trick.... *waves hand* "You will sell me your junk silver coins"
Scary thing is that he looks like one of my best mates but with less facial hair and a smaller build.
sam u should have just taken out a junk silver coin u had and asked her what she will give for it then ud know the answer
I don't know. I was going through airport security with a bag full of coins and the baggage checking Nazi Biatch nearly hits the alarm bell because she has no idea what she's seeing in my bag. I mean her eye's were popping out and she was calling frantically to the chief public interfering Nazi and everyone was looking at me. So I was pulled aside and forced to show the contents to the chief Nazi who turned out to be a nice guy and when I opened the bag he said, "Ah, I collect coins too. We don't want to draw attention to them. At least you've got enough there to pay for the medical bills you're going to get from carrying them on your shoulder . . . ha, ha, ha" then waved me on. So you never know where you might meet a Silver Stacker. Perhaps we should have a secret handshake or something so we can cut each other some slack.
I did, before I asked her what refiners paid them. She had a little chart that would tell her what to pay per pennyweight or something that only went up to $30 per ounce. She didn't know how to work in grams either. It was a total mess. Its frustrating when you can pretty much do everything roughly in your head if you know the spot price and you have to stand there while someone takes about 3 minutes to tell you what you figured in your head in 15 sec. Its easy because, American junk silver has a weight of 25 grams per dollar x .900. I was planning on taking an average of Spot and what they'd pay per troy ounce ASW and offering them that, but I never got a call back. I have a feeling, judging from her demeanor, that my visit completely slipped her mind after I left. Oh well. Whenever my dad asks me if I hide my silver well enough, I tell him "I'm not disclosed to provide that information" I guess the visit was worth a good laugh.
