[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1448272, member: 37498"]What you're suggesting is abusive to the sellers. Even if it wasn't, most return policies stipulate that you foot the bill on the return shipping. 1. Buy bullion on FeeBay. 2. Price of bullion drops. 3. Pay for return shipping on bullion. 4. Profit? Probably not... In the long run, this would be a lose-lose situation for both you and the sellers you're abusing because you're both spending money on shipping on returned items.
