<p>[QUOTE="mostly_broncos, post: 2660992, member: 23538"]If you want to be a stacker , you have to consider that you will need to sell at some point or your heirs will . Too many stackers focus on the buying end. When you are only buying it seems like there are 1000's of places to buy especially in an uptrend. The stuff just flows at you like a river Selling into a down market is a whole different thing. Your 1 oz gold coins are going to get sold to a shop most likely and you are not going to love what they offer you so you will dither over it or get offended , and then spot will drop some more and the offer will go down and pretty soon you will be the guy who is sitting on a complete set of first spouse coins you bought 500 spot dollars higher at a premium and no one will want them . They are hideous stupid coins that should never have been made in the first place , that is why they are low mintage , not because people loved them when they came out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every coin has a history if its old enough , that 2002 1 ounce AGE changed hands for $400 and probably 600 and maybe 900 and some fool owned the thing at $1850 too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is a good place to sell but things are a little more skewed to the buyers than they used to be. By all means sell your 1 oz coins there , there will be buyers for them but don't be surprised if someone with 3 feedback buys it and pays with a credit card and you could see that money frozen in your paypal account 5 months down the road on a chargeback. Paypal is probably linked the account you write your monthly mortgage payment on , something to think about . How calm are you going to feel if you have a dozen 1 oz coins listed at one time? </p><p><br /></p><p>My exit strategy is all about infinitely divisible piles of 90% silver and fractional liquid gold . That's the most flexible way out but I'm sure something will go wrong even then and it will cost me. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing about big bullion in dollar amounts is that its less likely you will be able to sell for actual cash which will create a paper trail for the government. The only thing worse than having no paper trail at tax time is having half a paper trail , the sale end only , you could wind up paying taxes on a sale that you actually lost money on. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's not like the government is going to get less into your business as time goes forward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
