Next Level: GOLD $1,350.00

Whats everyone been paying for gold from their source though? How much over spot? My place(BD) is like 1271 for a A.Eagle 1oz coin so 59 over spot for me plus shipping(+15) so like $74 over spot shipped to my doorstep.

I know some other places start 1oz coins at like $1300 plus $40 some shipping :bigeyes:

I'm trying to get comfortable with all these new "upgrades". I guess you didn't get your PM ticker this time around...better luck next time.

 

It remains to be seen what will happen to the Bullion section. Peter is still making tweaks and adjustments now that the upgrades are live. Since there was such a huge confab about what to do with the Bullion section yet no changes have yet been noticed, we may yet discover new features. If not, I still have a job each day... :goofer:

 

dow jones futures down 66 again to 9,596 points. just a reminder.

 

I'd say that you're a day late and several dollars short :goofer:

 

Maybe she'll be the first to list something in the classifieds section???

 

I doubt she will. For that she'd have to show a picture of something she owns and is selling. Not sure many buyers here will buy from her sight unseen. Also, PMs haven't reached her enormous sell price yet. I'm fairly certain she never buys coins or bullion either despite her pricing speculation and mintage data collecting. However, I'm working on trying to find something to list in classified for a test t Peter's urging.

 

I saw that. You could always list a WTB ad with something you already own and try to buy it so cheap you can't pass it up.

I'll be back in an hour or so. If you don't have something listed by then, I just might come up with something.

 

Wow! What do we have here! A new updated forum just in time for the 4th of july!!!

Looks great!!!!

 

No PM ticker (yet)... nor any other overtly obvious changes to the Bullion section.

I agree though, it looks great. And it's running very smoothly.

 

I like the look and feel to it. More modern and doesn't feel so "default".


Speaking of site, I came across this website, looks VERY professional and APMEX could learn from the design. What do you think?


http://www.goldeneaglecoin.com/index.php

 

Yes, I think Golden Eagle is a decent looking site. I'm not sure about their prices and service. I believe both elaine and Yakpoo have shopping experience with them and may be able to chime in about them. I see them recommended in the Forums here from time to time. I occasionally drop into that site to check competitive prices and available stock to that of other standard sites. Apmex do indeed need a slight refresh. I think they may be working on something because I have been prompted for a couple of customer feedback surveys on the site itself. They also do order follow up surveys which are different. I'm hoping at some point they will launch a new retail site.

 

I almost always respond to APMEX's survey's after my purchases. Hopefully they actually read them. They should look at this website as an example of what their competitors are doing. I know we've spoken about this before.

There are those that will be customers no matter what a site looks like, and there are those that may turn away from a site if it looks flaky or questionable, even if they have a decent rep.

From my POV, it doesn't cost very much money at all to have a new, modern, clean and fresh looking site, so if you do that, without changing the layout too much for folks who like the old site, it's a win win for everyone....

 

I think they do watch the site here, but don't respond much. Just lurk. DM used to post marketing promos and such but has been silent most of the last several months on anything since you can't really advertise in the forum threads. They also haven't bought any forum banner ads that I can tell, they probably don't need the advertising expense what with the amount of word of mouth and brand familiarity around here.

Let's hope I wake up to an overnight rally. What a bummer, very disappointed in both metals....

 

Do not put all of your hope in the gold and silver basket. While I think that gold and silver will continue to go up, I think that the metals will get beaten down when the stock market gets getting hammered. I truly think that this will play like it did in 2008 when gold, silver, and stocks all went down in the worst part of 2008. The only difference here is that I think that gold and silver will not stay down for long. We will just have to see what happens. Of course I could be completely wrong on all of this and gold and silver will just go up from here.
