Where to grab a bargain

I'm wondering where people go to nab a bargain or get a special find? Is it antique stores/sales, is it a meet up of Stackers and collectors, is it the local pawn shop?

Just interested to know where people look and are successful.

 

You don't find them, they find you. You will be at some market somewhere, not thinking about silver at all, and then, out of the blue it hits you in the eye.....you can't speak, you can't get your money out of your pocket....you are a mess.....there it is ...a silver coin at half the actual silver price......your mouth is dry....your thoughts are racing....is there someone racing to grab it first?....Is this really the price....are my eyes tricking me? ...after what seems an eternity....you pay the money and it's yours
Ahhhhhh I love those moments....

 

Just wander through the carpark at Maccas between 8AM and 9AM, you'll find a shiny.

 

So true but...

Sometimes your enthusiasm over-rides your knowledge...which leads to the old phrase of....fools...rush-in...

This forum is full of sellers, gangsters and scammers...tread lightly and becareful. :/

 

I have found a few silver coins along with other coins in coinstars over the last couple years. I also got a co worker addicted to buying silver but he was not in a financial position to do so, he always ended up buying and then selling later to me at spot.

 

you can find them in all kinds of places, op shops, markets, garage sales.. I've even found a silver cuff link sitting on a footpath one time. never know when it's going to pop up, just got to keep an eye out.

 

found a 22K earring in a carpark in Coffs Harbour. It weighed 1.5 grams @ approx $50 per gram.....equals a good find.

 

I am a traveller, I always find good place to buy, i always buy a local PM coins which i can't buy or see online.

Yup, antique stores, pawn shops and coin dealers are my hunt. It is good now a days that google map, search engine and web translators are easily available.

Also, I always find good buys on our local online auctions because some of local seller price info were outdated. My bid will be only once for its knowledge market value, unless it is a part of the set that i am presently collecting. If my schedules will allow, i just attend auction houses and fairs that held every month by our local collectors-groups.
