<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 214237, member: 648&quot;]ATTN MODERATORS...feel free to edit or remove this post.&nbsp; I am trying to make a point, not pushing for a sale here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Eagles are a screwy market and it seems like I&#039;m often getting hammered by the wild spreads.&nbsp; When I NEED them for a customer etc other dealers try to charge me $1.50 over spot...that&#039;s for common date BU coins...not 07&#039;s, 96&#039;s, 86&#039;s, etc.&nbsp; But when I have some for sale I&#039;m consistently offered spot or less.&nbsp; It&#039;s very aggravating and unpredictable so honestly I usually just try to avoid them.&nbsp; I can&#039;t be a fair buyer when the spreads change with the wind.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re paying $3 over spot for common dates...you&#039;re overpaying!&nbsp; Stop it!&nbsp; lol.&nbsp; In this market unless you have special order even $1 over spot isn&#039;t a bargain.&nbsp; I have a group of 100 and I&#039;ve been asking less than that and guess what?&nbsp; No takers. </p><p>I disagree with the theory that local coin shops are automatically higher than mail order etc.&nbsp; I generally sell for less (sometimes far less) than Coast to Coast and the others, but if a customer comes to me and specifically wants something I have to ORDER, the cost will certainly be more.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, don&#039;t buy into the fearmongers stories about the end of society...conspiracy theroies existed long before any of us were born.&nbsp; I personally was selling to doomsayers in the 70&#039;s (bicentennial), the 80&#039;s (double digit inflation), the 90&#039;s (runaway stock market and y2k) and rumors of the impending birth of anarchy and chaos STILL abound...yet the world is still here, unchanged for the most part.&nbsp; Some people will always look for a reason to claim the sky is falling.</p><p>Yes precious metals should be included in anyones investment strategy but anyone who owns ONLY silver/gold, canned foods and shotguns needs therapy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>imho,</p><p>tradernick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
