[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 4300890, member: 74571"]I have learned a lot from fellow CTers about bank SDBs (safe deposit boxes) the pros and cons. Yesterday I learned that my local SDB is REALLY safe, even from me! My wife and I drove home from AZ last week, taking as many precautions as we could. Used a lot of Clorox wipes, and disposable gloves. We are now self-isolating for 14 days. I realized that while the silver spot price is low, the retail price was still up and demand, at least in certain areas, was high. I wanted to sell some 90% junk silver but, alas, it is in the SDB. I called the bank and my SDB is available by appointment only, however, since I traveled out of the area, they informed me I could not access it until after a 14-day waiting period. I get it. I didn't want to lie to them nor endanger them for the sake of a sale of junk silver. But when I tried to make an appointment for two weeks in the future, I was not allowed to. I was asked to call THEN and see what their policy was. Again, I get it. These are chaotic, unexpected and, for many, tragic times. Just posting this to say that on the "con side" of SDBs, this is one I had never considered. Steve[/QUOTE]
