Annoyance at a dealer's conduct

"that's cause apparently the price of silver is decoupling...there is spot price which is paper price, and real physical price..."

Supply and demand, if there is no physical avail, sellers will charge a huge premium... i don't see anything wrong with that. So the people pm'ing sellers complaining prices are too high...really.. who is twisting your hand to buy?..you know who you are :)
Its really bad form cause I will probably not sell to you again. Say it in the sale thread. Don't PM and winge....


OR

you could get a 500gram MINTED pamp from ABC Sydney for $700. Thats $1400 per kilo, and its MINTED and damn they look nice.
Last week before the drop people were buying 1kg pamps cast for up to $1500...so at $1400 for 2 sexy looking bars that's a friggen bargain...I'd be backing up the truck, but I got no fiat left :D

OR you could search feebay for my sale where I'm selling them at $800 a pop :D

PS: easily the best looking bars EVER....

I'd agree with the comment about making a phone call IF the selling company didn't offer an online trading platform. If they do and they don't have stock then it should be pointed out on the website. I mean, it's not hard is it?

Online shop or not it is always a good idea to know what they have & when it will come a simple phone call gets the answers you need in a couple of minutes .Most onlins shops arent updated every sale so its nearly impossible for the site to be correct at all times

Wish you hadn't done that. Now I'm going to have a hankering for those suckers -- particularly the way spot is dropping.

This is NICE!!! Do they still have them in stock??

What were we saying about phones? lol. Actually, ABC have emailed me saying that the only wait is for PAMP 1Kg and ABC 5Kg.

So they should be in stock, go buy!
 
At least yours is coming!

I 'won' an buy-it-now for 500g of junk silver, seller had 10 Kg in stock according to the auction.

Paid and then got an email saying they were cleaned out and had sold all the silver and couldn't find my allocation as it must have been sold to someone else.

Spot was $44, I bought it for the equivalent of $41 then the price dropped to $38.

Not that I am worried about an extra 500g of dirty silver, and these things happen, but it took me a day of explaining the fundamentals again to my wife to convince her that this was a worthwhile deal. Now I get the money back, I assume, it isn't there yet and I have to start again, at least shiney metal is an easier sell!

last week they had them in stock...should call them and see :)

they do postage as well...from memory it was about 1% of total value in insurance + postage

edit: they arent selling at 800...i put it up there to see if there are any nibbles :)
 
I ordered from well know store 4 weeks ago. There were no notes of delays etc.

Emailed them a week later - they said they were onto it..

2 weeks from purchase : site starts saying "delays etc" - Re-email and get the reason "we had a train derailment -we should have them tomorrow

3 weeks from purchase - email again (no response)

4 weeks from purchase -email again (no responise)

4.5 weeks from purchase - advise in email due to lack of response I will be checking my options with Paypal to can the order.
1 hour later - "It's been posted now"

This is from one of the biggest players/stores in bullion thats mentioned on here all the time.

Very poor form for my first purchase from them.

Not exactly a dealer problem...I've had problems with PERTH MINT themselves -_-

They stuffed up my order and it took me like 10 calls to 'fix' everything and my stuff still hasn't arrived :P

My book from Amazon I ordered last week came faster than my stuff from PM ordered a few days ago...sigh

This is really just a rant on my behalf than anything, so please feel free to ignore, or tell me I am a whinger.

Basically, I submitted an order online to a fairly prominent dealer for some gold and some silver. This particular dealer's website indicated that they were "almost out of stock" on Perth Mint silver (fair enough), but had a separate page for PAMP Swiss Silver, and didn't say anything about their stock (ie, for all intents and purposes it appeared to be fine).

I submitted an order for some PAMP swiss on the basis that they had some, and then paid. I then received an email, saying that they have got my payment, and basically, "by the way, there is a 4-6 week wait on your silver at the moment, it has been secured against a shipment arriving in late May".

I sent them an email back saying that, had I known of this before hand, I would not have submitted the order (which is completely true - I avoided the Perth Mint bars they were selling and ordered the PAMP swiss bar precisely because their site indicated that there was not stock issue (or atleast was silent about it). I'll let you know what happens.

What do you think, I am being a whinger or is this a justified gripe? Do you think it is reasonable to expect that dealers are upfront about their stock levels / ability to deliver before people submit their orders?

Generally id call you a winger (cause as long as its paid for its cool) BUT not in this case where the market is crazy volatile id call you right on the ball to be mad ! It means they have essentially locked you in without giving you the chance to do what is rightly your prerogative to sell tomorrow if the price rises by another 20% or drops by 20% to save losses.

Id complain and try to get my money back ....
 
when starting out with a wait, it is a bit nerve racking, especially with a correction, but once you have it in your hot little hands, it is yours

none of us can say exactly when the rubber ball will bounce again, but when it does, you will be holding it

silver is volatile and that takes a little getting used to

just imagine what it will be like when the bronco really bucks and the eta is 3 months

Thats why I get my grizzlies from the store 20 min away from me.

But ya, i remember waiting at least 3 weeks from the big places.. bit of a pain.

I have been waiting over 6 weeks for my grizzlies from golddealer.ca. Who do you buy from?
 
received my item referred to above platinum express post.

I'd much rather it didnt' get to that point, as now I have to find another online seller :\
