Where does one purchase copper in 999 bullion form close to spot value Maggie?
now thats a hard one. been puzzling over it for a time. the only copper you will get is somewhere in the states and to get it even close to spot you need to fill a container. me memory seems to think it came in 12000lb blobs. i sent them an email and was told under a container full to go to their ebay dealer.
i considered offering a better price than sims to some of the electrical companies however unless you ship it out you dont stand a chance. so either way you have the container and international freight which blows it out. i asked ck if he could get copper bars produced like his silver bars and never got a reply so even turning a ton of copper into bars did not work. the cost of a pound copper bar is way over spot. so copper died in the a... for me. maybe stockpiling up to 20 ton might get you a profit but i doubt the chinese would be that interested in a single container.
so then you get to thinking if they cant make cheap copper bars for a reasonable price how come they can silver? i cant work out the missing link. something is missing.
