Is 50 cents over spot a pretty good deal on silver?

I saw this this morning, and thought it was a pretty good deal. The lowest I remember paying a big dealer was 65 cents over, but that didn't last very long.

It is not a bad deal.
But looking at the prices i see that you have to buy 200ozt at a time to get the 50c over spot.
This is just an advertising gimmick.
It is true that you can buy for 50c over, but i am betting most here are not buying in 200ozt lots.
If you are buying 1-49ozt it is still the best part of $3 OVER SPOT

EDIT: In fact looking at it again spot is $16.75 and with and order of 200ozt+ you still pay $17.37.
So it is not even legit advertising as this would make it $0.62 OVER SPOT
