[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2063245, member: 27832"]I came to the conclusion that Provident's bids are consistently higher than APMEX, and their selling terms seem clearer and more reasonable as well. (APMEX seems to mumble about lower prices for smaller lots, but I don't remember any explicit thresholds.) I thought there was a third place that I used to check for bid prices, but I don't seem to have it bookmarked. If prices at the show are on par with Provident's, it implies an upward acceleration in the market, at least to me and the local seller(s). Provident's premiums to melt were higher for quite a while when silver was declining, then dropped as silver got below maybe $18-19/oz -- at least that's what I'm remembering, but don't quote me. Caveats: I don't believe in technical analysis, I don't have any particular insight into the internals of the silver market, and I have not actually sold bulk silver to any online dealers. I'm just a cheapskate who grabs silver when it's available at a discount to the going rate, and sells it when a good offer price comes around.[/QUOTE]
