Sorry everyone. I bought 20 ASE's last night. That's why the price dove 50 cents today. The septic touch strikes again.
Doesn't more demand usually cause prices to go up? I am very curious about this touch of yours my friend...
I have to image there is a lot of turnover still going on in the silver stacker ranks. Anyone left is incredibly resilient or just plain immune to pain. The gung ho crowd must have burned out by now. I'm not buying this idea that there is a supply shortage. My guess is that the bullion stampers are trying to get this stuff in and out the door before they have to put it on their balance sheets or even a shelf. Just in time has it's set backs.
last week , rec'd the two rolls from eBay aka Apmex for their special $347 A ROLL FREE SHIPPING , I bought on 7/31...[that's only $17.35 each ].I jump on their specials , whenever they offer rolls $30 to $40 below lowest sources .
if , Apmex sold it to me for $347 , how much did they pay eBay , PayPal , and shipping ? seems like I got it really below melt
Have to assume APMEX isn't paying eBay what the normal run-of-the-mill schmoe is paying but even at 5%, that's $15+. $347 is the lowest price I've seen this year and a great buy. I was late to the party on that one. My best roll has been around $360 so far this year. APMEX runs some crazy deals on eBay from time to time.
I think a lot had to do with raising cash to manage the significant drop in price - and sell enough at retail to facilitate filling their coffers at wholesale. When all was said and done, I got (2) PAMP 1ozt bullion for an average cost of $1082 per ounce delivered from Apmex a couple weeks ago when it tanked. (Ebay bucks, cash back on CC, etc factored into price).
