20? I would curse daily for a week if it reached 20, since I should have waited And of course I'd make an order at that price
When spot was this low last time ($31 - $32 US), I wasn't into silver. I got in at a bit higher spot but looking back at my invoices, the coins/bars I bought with premium back then are/were cheaper than what I can buy them now. I haven't seen much of a benefit from this drop personally.
Think the premiums are higher due to the increased volatility of the Silver price... They gotta take a larger risk so pass on some of the cost to the customer. Makes sense. If it stays consistent at around $30 the premiums should come down.
Hopefully. I find it funny seeing all the local dealers I deal with, bitching about the price drop. I guess they forget about the times when they buy cheap and the prices goes higher, I didn't see them giving discounts because silver went to a much higher price than what they had paid for it.
I could be wrong but I don't think being a dealer is very lucrative... buy at a bit oveer spot, sell at $5 or whatever over spot.
