Sears is looking for any way to make a buck since Eddie Lampert started running into the ground over a decade ago.

Good news is you won't have to wait in a long line to cash out if you can find a cashier.

 

Walmart allows other retailers to sell on their site also. Have been for a while. You can buy coins from there too. I can only imagine the fee added for that service.

 

I'm not familiar with this format. Does this mean that Sears is allowing someone from Lehigh Acres, FL to use their site for the sale of this SAE?

Frankly it would take a complete idiot to pay $146 for a freshly minted silver bullion coin.

The only thing Sears has left that is worth anything is its real estate.

 

Yes, Walmart.com also lets 3rd parties sell on their site. I actually think KMart's quality has gone up since Sears took them over. I personally don't get paying a premium like that for slabbed bullion coins. You can just go to Silvertown.com and buy a BU bullion coin when they come out.

 

Apparently so chris

 

dumb

 

But, but it's a First Day of West Point Strike with a gold label....

<<<sarcasm laced>>>

 

Lol ohh that gold label makes it all worth the extra 110+ dollars I'm shelling out

 

If someone is willing to buy it at that price then it is worth it at that price--at least to the purchaser--and in the end his opinion is the only one that matters.

 

Don't trust anyone from Lehigh Acres!

Chris

 

Oh, come on....let us have some fun.

Realistically, you are right.

 

You're absolutely correct. Our own opinion is the only one that matters. So, I believe it takes a complete idiot to pay $146 for a freshly minted silver bullion coin. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.

 

Pretty much all of the large brick/mortar retailers have adopted this model - online affiliation with Web-only sellers. It's the only way they can compete with the Amazons and Neweggs in terms of broad product selection. Even own branch of retailing - the home improvement niche - has gone that way in niche-specific fashion.

That is one of the revolutions of the Internet - it's now possible for an average guy like you or me to become a seller with international reach.

 

That may be true, Dave, but still, don't trust anyone from Lehigh Acres. The only experts in that area are B&E specialists, if you get my drift.

Chris

 

That is the reasoning used by every hurricane price gouger on the Gulf Coast. You know, the ones who suddenly charge $5 a gallon for gasoline and $25 for a jug of drinkable water.

 

Yes, and if you don't have a jug of drinkable water it's worth it. Ethical? IMO, no, but still worth every cent.

As for non-necessities like bullion, however, minus any lying as to current or future value I don't even see an ethical problem with charging what the market will bear--regardless of whether it is an artificially inflated market or not.

 

Let's agree to disagree.

 

Silvertowne Mint is doing pre-orders for 1916 PCGS or NGC MS70 coins for about $50 if that is your thing. I don't know what this guy doing listing this bullion coin at that price. It won't sell unless someone doesn't know any better. Maybe they will learn that and lower their price. The mint sells proof American Eagles for collectors.
