<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 448898, member: 6370"]yeah, thanks dave...I am glad you do understand my frustration and where I am coming from on this matter...I am sure you can understand that there is little point in buying a bullion coin at those prices above spot...what I find interesting is that others do buy them at that these prices. If a coin has some form of historic or numismatic value and it is 100 over spot I can justify this but if its just a bullion coin being bought to hold onto long term, such prices above spot somewhat negate the reason for buying bullion. </p><p><br /></p><p>I assume when you say you cant find Krugerrands, you mean you cant find them at the right price? because I found some, just at extremely high prices. I have SEEN krugerrands for sale both ounce and half (Apmex only has half ounce at high prices) so I know the sellers or suppliers have them and I know simply from reading about Krugerrands that there has always been more than the market could sell off thus I have always bought them, mostly at a low prices comparatively so you can understand my frustration when they are now about the same as any other...and quite high.</p><p><br /></p><p>But thank for the explanation...because I use apmex for buying gold, apmex came out...and I will still say that I believe prices that high over spot, for me at least, negate the reason for buying bullion for investment and I am sure you can understand why I see such high premiums to be a bit of a gouge....I guess maybe the gouging is on all levels from supplier to sellers? If you dont have them and cant find them for the right price...thats understandable so you dont sell them...but I still dont see the need to have such high prices for the ones you have (unless you bought them way over spot as well which might be the case here)...and am a bit shocked people will even buy any at such prices...but I assume they do. I have been a big fan of apmex in the past and have recommended them often but and I will say I was disappointed to see that this time around, I wouldn't be able to business with you guys until prices go back down. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So sorry if my post came off a bit harsh...a bit of frustration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
