Should I go back as soon as he opens monday and buy all I can for a quick turnaround or is this price more of a hold and see right now?
If they're in nice shape, you could probably turn around and sell them on eBay for $170 - $185.

That's a good price, and not much above spot. Go do it. My usual dealer is now all out of junk and bullion. Looks like I won't see a good price on silver for a while (until my source can restock). |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

My dealer told me he would have to charge $2.50 per ounce over spot for any ordered bar. (A couple of days wait.) But if someone came in and sold to him he would work on a fifty cent per ounce buy/sell spread or in other words a dollar per ounce profit. It appears to me your dealer is selling a bar that someone recently sold him. So I would say that if you are buying silver that is a dam good price right now. BTW, who is he and is he close to Erie? |

Yes, you should go back and buy enough for everybody here, and then buy just as much for yourself to wait and see.
Why can't I get deals like this?
Question: Why did you go to the coin dealer the first time without your money? Were you window shopping, or did you just want to remove temptation?  |

Same story for me today. The wife and I were coming home from the zoo when I stopped in to talk to my dealer. I had maybe $50 in my wallet. Metal dealers just attract us like flies to sh!t. |

LOL, I was coming from my first penny run in a bit. picked up $250 in sealed boxes, $50 were mixed, looks like the other $200 is uncirced, one sealed box marked "Eept 26 2008 Alice", I figured since I put that first item up on the bay, I might try a box of new zincs to see how they go.
I didn't know how many I had new at the time and I am new to the PM market and running tight. I blinked. Hesitated. The fear got me. Now I know better and have one more experience where I know what the right thing was, and what I did wrong. Not checking the markets, physical and "spot" before I left home was the worst. This is a interesting time to be trying to teach yourself or learn about these things.

Update on these bars, I was in the shop Sat. at about 12-12:30. got back at 2:00 closing time door was locked. I went back this morning and me and another gentleman had a lively discussion waiton for the shop to open. And the bars? SOLD OUT. Sold out on 90% too. Must of had 15-20 10 oz bars, one guy bought em all in one pop.
I called around today in about a 50-100 mile radius and no one has any bullion at all, all sold out. Actively EAGERLY wanting to buy. One said he had 90% @ 12.5. |
