<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1679629, member: 26302"]Quoted for truth. No offense to dealers, but dealers seem to love to take profits, but hate taking "losses". In the mid 80's it took a few years for the new silver prices to actually be reflected in coin prices. To be fair, its also a function of normal ebbs and flows. Dealers cannot afford to be picked clean, so when they believe the market is dropping temporarily, they will increase premiums. If they believe prices are too high they will reduce pay prices. Its this normal tendency that led to the creation of paper markets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, what do you guys think would happen in today's environment if silver went down to $18 and stayed there? Do you think the competition from internet sellers would force local sellers to adjust their prices downward more quickly than in the past, or do you think it would be the same?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Dealers cannot afford to be picked clean, so when they believe the market is dropping temporarily, they will increase premiums. If they believe prices are too high they will reduce pay prices. Its this normal tendency that led to the creation of paper markets. Btw, what do you guys think would happen in today's environment if silver went down to $18 and stayed there? Do you think the competition from internet sellers would force local sellers to adjust their prices downward more quickly than in the past, or do you think it would be the same?[/QUOTE]
