well heres something that's really got me puzzled
im now convinced more than ever that a lot of this stacking is about e bay

lets take scenario 1 , you buy a bar /coin/ etc etc and for the sake of today your lucky enough to either buy the bigger bar or have enough money to buy 25 coins which takes you over the cheaper threshold you pay spot + whatever well say 20 % for todays discussion,

scenario 2 you buy yourself a 10 oz lunar coin, or some pamp silver bars, etc etc the stuff that you know you've paid a lot more than spot,

heres the things ive heard , if you buy generic silver you will receive not much over spot when you come to sell .....still following no one fell asleep yet

so therefore if people buy the costly stuff and not bigger bars, or coins in mass quantaties, then they hope to recoupe more than they paid should they want to sell or if shtf scenario ,,
so heres the thing I have never sold on e bay as yet, so if I bought the coins that cost a lot more then a dealer will give me possibly a bit more because there pretty or had a bigger premium, but he will still work on silver spot price

so therefore I believe that most fancy stuff will need to be resold through the likes of e bay for maximum profit , as a member posted earlier isn't silver silver
well on the basis a pamp 1 oz silver bar costing around 18 around 50% over spot , then these more rarer, one off items need to be resold through a on line site such as e bay or possibly a private forum,

so it is my conclusion that if we are to buy fancy stuff and wish to sell in some years to come then we better get the hang of selling on e bay to move that product,
unless im wrong and a dealer will give you 16 for your 18 pamp bar
 
"BUZZ the lunars at spot" - no joke

If SHTF then honestly silver is silver. At $500 or more an oz, there's not going to be a huge difference between coins.

A lot of people will be in shock and paralysed even those that prepared.

I've sold and traded off eBay. I think most sales are off eBay. Also a lot of people both buyers and sellers avoid eBay, some seem to be coming back.

Too many problems with eBay!
 
I believe from what I've seen, your best bet is selling on eBay. I have bought and sold on eBay. I prefer to buy from jmbullion and other online sources but when I need/want a particular piece, I can
usually find it on ebay. And since I want/need it, I'll pay more.
 
I agree. Pick your where you buy and sell according to what you want. If I want new shiney stuff it comes from a dealer. If I want to buy or sell a piece that is "unusual" the ebay or the forum is the shot. Usuall big orders go through a dealer for safety and security but for smaller "on off" items I will take the risk using other channels.
 
To an extent that's what I have done. I'd buy something that people off SS like but unable to find it with ease, such as a kilo dragon, and put it on eBay. The asking price I attach would be laughed at on here but it eventually sells :D

I would usually sell whatever for a little bit more on eBay but the hassle, fees and potential losses have made me hold back on a lot of items that I will sell on here instead.
 
as I thought I wanted to double check , just had a chat with a dealer who confirms that wether it be a Johnson mathey bar or pamp 1 0z bar the dealer pays 98% of spot so therefore 11 buyback the pamp ones cost 27 in singles , so fancy stuff really needs farming out to e bay if you decide to sell

Actually that dealer doesnt want your silver. He prefers new silver, less hassle and product detoriation. In the end, if you sell to a dealer, it's because you want to offload the risk of trying to find a customer at a wanted price. And that's why he offers a plain % of spot. Instead, do some effort yourself. In the end (2) it will benefit another stacker, that hasn't to pay the full dealer spread/profit. A middleman excluded = more left for buyer and seller.

To the OP, buy what you want, more ounces or pretty looking things. In a SHTF scenario of any proportions stackers will still recognise basic premiums.
Wouldn't you agree?
 
I would have thought so. Gold premiums exist today @ $1400. If silver got to only $200 one would think the premiums would still come into play. Could be wrong, but I really would like to find out. Bring on $200oz. Yes I'm a permabull and mighty proud of it.
 
eBay is one marketplace to sell all but the rarest of rare coins....arguably the best marketplace at this time and for the foreseeable future. There are other marketplaces including stacking and coin forums, coin clubs, auction houses (depending on what coins you have), Amazon, and other auction sites like BidStart. Personally, I favor eBay for numerous reasons as a buyer and a seller.

Ultimately, you just have to find what works best for you.

you really need to get out more countimg words dohhhhhhhh
 
News flash.
People have been buying and selling expensive things like extra fancy PM long before eBay.
Before the internet, before TV, before newspapers and printing presses.
Similar for storing of wealth, with fancy, expensive, things.
It seems the OP has lead a sheltered life.

I went to a flea market a while back.
There was a guy selling silver coins for WAY above spot. Nice little table, sitting in the dirt and grass, cardboard box beside him.
I went to an indoor flea market, there were several of these vendors, selling all manner of silver trinkets, coins included, way above spot.
It may seem antiquated to some, and apparently others are oblivious, but there are people who meet face to face, talk about this and that, and buy and sell silver way above spot.
