At 17 bucks an ounce, was 11 dollars a good "for me" price? 2. Where does it go from there? Apparently he buys low and sells high. Can the average joe sell it to the same guy the dealers are selling it to? 3. Who eventually ends up getting the full price for silver. You guys know a lot more than I know.
