Thought I would throw this info out there in case anyone is interested. I was a vendor at a Montana gun show last weekend. I also had ASEs and generic silver for sale. All the generic was various versions of the US flag in 1,5, and 10 oz varieties. I sold some of the generic for $25 an ounce. Sold zero ASEs for $40 despite being below advertised online prices. Multiple people told me they are buying ASEs for under $20. Right-o. End of report.
Some people will sell anything, I would think that would be a tough ask under melt unless it’s not the genuine article.
I offered to bet one of them they couldn't find one so cheap at any legitimate source. The bet didn't happen.
Yep, that's all they can get for under $20, coming from a gun show customer it don't surprise me! What's amazing is people see these ads for $20 ASE's and they must think they're special getting an especially low price, years later when they go to sell they're in for the big shock!
