<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 52890, member: 941&quot;]The discount is there for a number of reasons...</p><p><br /></p><p>1. In most cases the individual purchasing the silver is a &quot;middle-man.&quot; He/she is purchasing the silver from consumers at X dollars and selling it to another outfit for X+Y percent. A portion of the discount serves to ensure his profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. A portion of the discount is a function of supply and demand. When silver rushes occur on large percentage increases in the spot price of silver, dealers can often be flooded with individuals looking to sell. As a result, the buy price actually gets driven down even though demand for silver is high.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. A portion of the discount reflects smelting, shipping and other overhead.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. A portion of the discount is based on volume. Often dealers will pay higher amounts for larger volumes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
