Yesterday I got an email "preview" from Ebay offering 2015 S.E. from a dealer at 10 for $198.00 with the sale starting today, the 31st. Today I checked in and the same dealer is now selling them for $217.00 on the day the sale was expected to start. I understand the market changed as the Dow tanked some yesterday but still, they should not do this on bullion coins. A sale advertised as such should be honored.
Do you have the link. Would kinda like to watch and see what the price will actually end up at. Asking price on silver ended on Friday at 17.33$
I don't know how to copy and paste but it was an ad from MCM Coins. I ordered just one to fill the hole in my album.
Up until they actually start accepting orders they can change the price at any time. Once they accept the order if they try and change it that would be bait and switch. Advertising a low price but not taking orders at that time I would call advertising and I would assume that the final price would be set at the time of ordering.
I believe the designated buyers pay $2 over spot to the mint for each eagle. Beyond that it's all profit for the seller.
It's bullion and as such, subject to the bullion market and the various fluctuations which occur in that market.
