Quote from: JOE on May 01, 2024, 09:55:04 PMSo Lokmeer, today I completed an auction where I bought 6.775 grams pure gold (after excluding alloys), paid $660.80 Canadian or $480 US) including shipping/taxes. 31.15 g is 1 troy ounce, Current spot is $505 USD. Minimum price I saw on Ebay for that coin excluding shipping and taxes is $540 US. So I got it at least $60 US less than the going rate. With taxes and shiping added that might be $100 US saved.
and 9 ounces of pure Canadian Junk silver (after excluding alloys), like you've recommended
Mind you that was some pretty nice 'junk', 80% Silver in each coin:
6 ounces pure silver 50 cent pieces (paid $211 Canadian or about $154 US)
Current spot price is $160
3 ounces pure siver $1 pieces (paid $105.73 including taxes or about $77 US @$25/ounce)
Current spot price $80 US
...so maybe I did about 5% below spot price on all of 'em?
so if it was sold retail might be 10-15% below retail?
That's what I was talkin to you about b'fore - buy below spot & yer laughin' Bud!
My wife transferred $30,000 into her trading account today.
We got too much cash kicking around.
I might buy another car.
What kind of car do you drive, Senile @JOE?
