    I've been able to pick up a little bit on e-bay over the past few weeks. I've been outbid a bunch too (probably 20-1).. But I just put in a max bid that's a little bit under what my local dealer charges and have got lucky a few times.
    I know that doesn't answer your question about other sites but don't give up on e-bay. (just don't outbid me..lol)

    Keep an eye on the Classifieds section here on CT. Sometimes you will find offers there.

    Here's a great site to bookmark, it helps you calculate most all kinds of PMs, just insert the factors and compute:

    Dendritics.com PM Calculator


    ...and if you don't like that 'PM calculator' just Google that search term and you will find others.

    For instance: Scrap Gold Price Calculator

    31.1/28.3 = 1.10 X

    Plug and chug! All that's needed is a calculator.

    .715 X 1.1 = .787

    www.coinflation.com is a good site if you are buying junk US silver. It is updated almost daily. Krause lists ASW on all world silver coins as well.

    "Classifieds" Competitively Priced "Junk Silver"

    I believe, if you review current offerings in Coin Talk "Classifieds", you will probably find the best offered prices for small lots. If you're lucky, and have patience, you may best these prices on eBay, but I've found none more competitive, other than tulving.com. EBay S/H charges are expensive because of buyer fraud which requires the expensive USPS "signature confirmation" mandated by Paypal for seller protection. Please inform us if you locate better legitimate offerings. Happy Hunting! :thumb:

    Camino coin co
    check them out online and give them a call. A very reasonable pricing on junk whether buy or sell.

    Caveat Emptor!

    "Let the buyer beware". When a web site will not list specific buy/sell pricing policies, "Let the buyer beware". When a web site states that coins must be in their hands before they will quote a price, "Let the seller beware". When a web site claims almost uncirculated $20 Gold Double Eagles to be MS66 "Semi-Numismatic Coins", "Let the buyer beware". When a buyer must contact a firm to establish availability and the current pricing spread for a specific commodity, the firm probably has too many employees, and too few clients, "Let the buyer beware". A stellar example for a credible firm that is probably the most competitive to be found, openly stating their pricing on their site, with minimal employees, where the owner can be contacted for the confirmation price, doing a seven figure dollar amount in a day, can be seen at: www.tulving.com I believe that anything less than a comparable site having "full disclosure", is an exercise in futility and a waste of consumer time.

    An Honest Deal!!

    You are correct, but everyone knows their terms, and believe me, they meet their commitments (i.e. no shipping costs to buy/sell, prompt 24 hour shipment/payment, etc.). They are akin to the SAMS' CLUB of precious metals, and are successful because their honest/trustworthy efforts to meet their commitments. I've was scammed multiple times by the touted "Leaders" of PM/Numismatic sales, who've failed to deliver as negotiated, before I searched/found a credible/competitive resource. You're probably considerably more likely to have your "investment" evaporate in prominent dealer transactions, than "investing" on eBay. I believe you will find it virtually impossible to meet Tulvings' prices, no need to negotiate, and many of the "dealers" purchase their inventory from Tulving. Actually it is relatively simple for an investment group to meet their minimums, as I've formed groups to do same for many years. 20 people investing less than $500 each can meet their PM minimum. I've helped numerous investors to earn a considerable amount by "PM GROUP purchasing/selling". It appears that the average investor would rather pay a larger premium multiple times, and whine, than save multiple times to pay a smaller premium, and cheer. To each their own, just a bit of enlightenment, in response to a query.
