<p>[QUOTE=&quot;musikman73, post: 36446, member: 882&quot;]<b>Apmex</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hey Mitchell,</p><p><br /></p><p>You said:</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;I just bought a pound of rounds from Apmex and got reamed on &gt;shipping and &quot;fraud verification&quot;(?). It added nearly a dollar a round &gt;on the price. Live and learn, education ain&#039;t cheap, all those suckie &gt;cliches. And yes, I did check the shipping, but never saw where it &gt;would be $9.50. That fraud verification thing is a bummer too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ran into the same thing.&nbsp; Got 100 Uncirc Eagles, (great price 8.11 each on 2/8), but they wanted a $38 &quot;fraud verification&quot; fee from me.&nbsp; $14.95 shipping/insurance and $38 for &quot;fraud verification?&quot;&nbsp; Doh!</p><p><br /></p><p>I opted to send the check priority mail..&nbsp; They send you that confirmation that says, &quot;This is the slowest method of receiving your goods,&quot; or something to that effect.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t find the shipping/insurance exhorbitant, at $14.95, it ends up being .15 per 1oz coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check some of the ebay auctions.. geesus.&nbsp; I only checked into the bullion places after seeing the ebay silver eagle tubes going for $180-$220 PLUS 9.00-12.00 PER TUBE for shipping.. hell&#039;s bells, that&#039;s $45-$60 shipping on TOP of overpaying for the bullion (for the 100 I was looking for).</p><p><br /></p><p>God bless&#039;em, if people want to pay that price, I don&#039;t blame them for using the capitalist system to its fullest potentional, but what in the heck is wrong with those buyers?&nbsp; My guess is that it&#039;s that &quot;ebay fever,&quot; they&#039;re rather have the &quot;excitement&quot; of winning that auction, lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just compared the APMEX vs. Ebay and at the mid case scenario above, payed $826 vs. an ebay $1050.00.. (both including shipping) Lawdy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
