<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 2614327, member: 38849&quot;]I buy silver only two ways now:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. <u>Someone I know</u> brings it to my front door, and I pay in cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. One of the daily &quot;bullion specials&quot; on eBay, which you receive (3 or 4 a day) by changing your &quot;Preferences&quot; on <u>eBay promotions</u>.&nbsp; They are always postpaid and insured, the sellers (often Apmex) have positive Feedback in the tens of thousands, and the price (for that one day) may run 6% to 10% under normal retail.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Plus you get eBay Bucks, which aren&#039;t worth much, but they&#039;re better than nothing.&nbsp; In 2016, I bought 5 &quot;specials&quot; from 3 different Sellers, with no problems.&nbsp; Plus on eBay, it&#039;s the Buyer who&#039;s firmly in the driver&#039;s seat, in case of a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>My educated guess is that those low prices are possible only because eBay writes contracts with major dealers to participate for a Seller&#039;s fee of 1% or 2%.&nbsp; The one downside is that you can&#039;t specify what you want, you have to take what&#039;s being offered.&nbsp; But it will be something different tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few days ago, the special was utility-grade Morgan dollars (F-VF) MUCH cheaper than I could buy them locally, but that didn&#039;t interest me.</p><p><br /></p><p>========</p><p>I won&#039;t buy off CraigsList any more, it&#039;s too wild and woolly, plus &quot;someone&quot; then knows you collect coins and knows where you live...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
