Message:: [QUOTE="susannyny, post: 1229126, member: 31977"][I'm re-posting this as a new thread as I mistakenly posted it under another thread last night] ..... I'd like the groups opinion.  My silver bullion purchases in the past  have been limited to "junk" silver - which personally, I consider quite  beautiful! - and ASEs. I've been lucky to pick up a good amount of the junk silver on eBay for  under spot (anywhere from 4.87% - 15.52% under spot).  Just this past weekend I purchased 3 ASE's for $42/ea and  the seller gave me Free Shipping since I purchased all 3 (it was a Buy  It Now special). Last night I purchased 2 Engelhard Silver Prospector coins (and 1985  and 1986) for $42.46 and $42.07 respectively.  The seller gave me combined shipping of $3 which brings the total purchase price to $81.06 (or $40.53 per 1 oz coin). In looking at the various online sites where you can purchase ASEs and  Engelhard for a few dollars above spot, those companies seem to crush  you on Credit Card purchases and/or shipping.  Purchasing thru ebay I'm able to use PayPal for the transactions and shipping seems to be a fraction of the cost. This is where I'd like your feedback.  I feel as if I'm doing really  well on my purchases, but not sure if I'm fooling myself.  Can I be  doing better elsewhere? Thanking you all in advance for any feedback you have. Again, I'm fairly new to this and I'm trying to learn! Susan  [/QUOTE]
