    Nothing special, IMO, just basically they searched it for you, all you need to do is click, it tends to bring up bigger stores, as well as junky listings.

    It's been up for a while. Personally, I'm not a fan. I feel there are better buys to be had if you stay out of the Bullion Center.

    yeah it does not seem like anything more then a slightly modified search capability. Definitely nothing special but it was the first time I noticed it.

    I don't feel special! Because now it's become a mainstream trend....

    Just saw a 2/3 oz 999 silver go for $21.95 on there. I was gonna bid but it closed too soon :D

    It is not a separate section of eBay, it takes listing from eBay to use there, so nothing is different about the bullion center other than it showed you that deal that you may otherwise have not found

    I just wonder where the Chinese fake are going to come into play here. If you buy from China, then you should know to be wary about the gold/silver amount. But what about all those who purposely buy fake coins and pass them off as bullion. Graded or not. I see a great possibility for bullion buyers to be taken advantage of. Of course, everyone is responsible for themselves.

    Buyers beware. And try to deal locally where you can see eye to eye with your dealer.

    Right, I wouldn't have found it. Who searches for 2/3 oz rounds? =)

    What? you don't keep rolls of 2/3oz'ers? I stepped up from collecting 3/8oz'ers :)

    Someone snarked on the BC blog about it being symptomatic of a precious-metal bubble. (Too early, in my opinion.)

    Yup !!! I agree !!!!
    eBay won't care about the buyer all eBay care about the fee& how much they will make.

    Yep, I only deal with coin shop dealers or established mints in the US. Although it never hurts to weigh.
