<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 26111292, member: 20480&quot;]I can&#039;t claim to explain your observation across the marketplace, but how I compensate for increases in spot might provide some insight . . . </p><p><br /></p><p>When I&#039;ve observed significant moves in gold, I&#039;ve lazily bumped the prices of my gold inventory every time the spot has crossed the next $100 level.&nbsp; For example, when spot moved past $2500, I bumped the prices I&#039;d previously set when gold was at $2400, increasing the price of a Double Eagle by $100, adding $25 to a Half Eagle, and so on.&nbsp; This saves me a lot of time that would otherwise be spent looking up each date individually.&nbsp; I have neither the staff nor the time to do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>What this means, of course, is that the new price increases only account for the absolute increase in intrinsic value, and do not preserve the percentage of markup over melt.&nbsp; Over time, and especially over numerous increases in spot, the percentage markup over melt dwindles. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like I wrote before, I can&#039;t claim that&#039;s what you&#039;re seeing in other cases, but I suspect that may be the case in at least some of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
