Cheapest place to buy Lunar Horses

BB's first offering that sold out was priced at $35.95, so the current price of $46.44 is just... Well it aint "Hi ho Silver, awayyy!" its more like, "Whoah horsey... whooooooooohhhwww!".

If you have an allocation of 1,200 and the first 1000 you put on sale was sold in a flash and you would not be able to get anymore, what would a reasonable business do with the left over?

tell people that I have this number of left over for sale. And I at least try to sell few coins at this price to see the demand. What we have:

It's is simple economics 101 - you don't know how many they sold at what price as only they now that.

Economics 101 says about supply and demand this: supply and demand meet and the price equilibrium achieved. Demand for BB lunars never met supply after they increase the price. Why? because they still have those 300 coins available (they had this number at 43, and at 46 - nothing has moved except price). I don't see economics 101 here.

If you don't want to buy from then then don't, It is their business they can price their items anyway they want to.

the manipulative business model making people believe the price for coin is rising while not one coin have been sold is not good - and it is my way of telling stackers that there're better places to buy and avoid going to BB.

How would you feel if I went to your sale thread a d demanded cheaper prices and called you a manipulator? Karma goes both ways mate.

I'm not in BB web site or their selling thread, I'm on free SS forum saying what I believe is right or wrong. So it has nothing to do with coming to anybody's selling threads. Am I acting against forum rules or stackers morale here? BB is a dealer who in my perception are trying to rip off fellow stackers and I gonna say it .... And soon as I'm not a dealer I'm not worrying about karma.

not to get confused.

but worldbubble, your perception and allegation seems unfounded. BB has wide customers base, so for one of its customer to snap up 300 horses a click is not unusual. @ 36+

@43 might be took a bit longer, but buying them is comparatively similar to 39 usd when APMEX was selling them for. need to verify that timing. one side and the other of the world, day vs night.

@ 46...not moving, since APMEX is still going for 39 usd..

so logically once APMEX is sold out, we will find out how is the going at BB

but the PM will be on sale too.

alor, I have no problem with price increase itself
the problem is how it is being done. One thing when dealer increase the price to meet demand or follow the spot, another is when dealer increases the price for the sake of increase without actual demand at the time and does it within several hours (explained it in previous message).

That's the first time I've noticed such a behavior
 
It all boils down to: it is their items and they can sell it for whatever price their business model pegs it at. if you think it is expensive then move on and look for someplace cheaper.
 
I would think that the pricing is done by computer programming, and the updating part may be by 15 minutes intervals, with some averaging smothering model ?

and the second part, is that spot is in usd, so there are two variables in play here.. usd and aud and at the same time spot is moving.

if you are monitoring spot too closely, then it will influence your take on the coin price, they are two separate markets. hence more variables to fine tuned on.

some-more you are using JPY... there is additional mix to the variables.

anywway better enjoy the coin rather than the price.
 
alor, have spot moved recently 9% within the hrs?
then computer programming has nothing to do with price change at BB ... purely man done.

buy from goldstackers or bullionlist ... bullionbourse is the place if the previous two has nothing in stock
 
I'm hoping I can get more still...got a lot of demand for them, but already sold out of the 300 I was allocated :(

Will find out about another 1000 by tomorrow from the looks of it.

Very well said! :) Totally agree. There are some many coins out there that are "overpriced", but we don't complain for every one. As I've stated many times. If you don't like prices don't buy. We are living in capitalistic world where money is the real god or ruler of the world. All people who want to have the most of their business would try to get as much money as possible....

If there will be demand for coins at higher price they will keep that price, if not they will lower it. Or maybe not, maybe they sold enough already. :)

its just not possible for buyer to be buying as below as possible.

where as sellers could not be selling as high as the sky, there is a market price range.

the market prices tend to be closer to the last transacted prices.
 
Some recent prices for 1oz horses in US dollars not including shipping (& add on cc or PayPal charges)

37.55 Gainesville (current best for US?)
38.98 APMEX

Seems like BB is not that bad after all!

NOPE...
 
Well it seems bullion bourse have found a sellable price, aud$43 and they're moving.... Down to 270
 
I posted this on the other forum I frequent the most, but I will extend the offer to members of this forum as well...

I got an extended allocation and now will be getting 1000 of these horses in total. (The time below is in EST). The price point below is the same as the initial price I had released the coins at.

The horses will be going up for $36 on September 3rd from approximately 1pm to 11:59pm or until quantities last.

Some points you should be aware about...
- I will only release 300 coins at the price of $36 CAD (300 sold already, another 400 will be sold at a higher price)

Just to give you an idea...last time I had these at $36 USD - $38 CAD, I sold 13 tubes in just over an hour....
- Orders at this price must be paid for by E-Interac/PayPal Gift - PayPal Credit Card/standard payments will be cancelled at this price. A separate offer with the coins at $37.20 per coin will be available for those wishing to pay by Credit Card/Standard Paypal Checkout


If you guys think I should implement a limit per person so more people can get it, let me know. I was thinking 1-2 tubes but I will let the 'majority' here decide.

Shipping prices:
$10 flat to Canada + $2 per item (a pack of 5 or tube of 20 count as 1 item)
$15 flat to USA + $2 per item (a pack of 5 or tube of 20 count as 1 item) - $10 Shipping available if you do not need tracking and pay by paypal gift
World shipping - Rates Vary between $40-$50 flat up to 1kg
 
I notice that Ainslie hasn't put up any Lunar Horses yet... typically they set a pretty good standard for premiums...

I called them last week and they said they wouldn't put them online until they received the stock...
 
Ainslie Bullion have put huge premiums on all of their silver coins recently. Wouldn't count on getting cheap Lunars there anymore. They used to be the cheapest but not anymore.
