Even selling silver on eBay for at or above spot, (I sold a small percentage of my overall betw $30-40), the fees were 9-12%.</p><p>For silver rounds on APMEX right now, you&#039;re lucky to get them for $2.50 over spot (if you buy in bulk).&nbsp; So you&#039;e greasing somebody&#039;s palm on both ends of the bargain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
