Message:: [QUOTE="chip, post: 2293764, member: 19122"]Back in 2011 silver was climbing, a we buy gold and silver place opened not too far from my home, I figured I would see what they were offering. So pulled 20 silver eagles from my stash, and brought them to the store. The place was done in faux bank style, carpets on a polished wood floor, seats to wait for the sales lady to get to you, there was a customer ahead of me, the arrangement was not conducive to eavesdropping, but soon the salesgirl came to me, I told her I had some silver coins, and wanted to know what they would buy them for. At that time silver was around 36 toz, The shadiest coin shop in the area was buying for 25,the best were within a buck or two of spot. The lady looked at my coins, and got a large book out and matched the silver eagles to the picture and offered me 19 an t. oz. I asked her what silver was selling for, and she told me she just went by the book, so then I got a bright idea, hey you are buying these for 19 I will give you 24 for any you have, she did not deign to reply, she closed her book and asked me to leave. I felt like sticking around outside and buttonholing other customers, but I got over that feeling real quick, heck it was probably a fair offer considering it had just started up, so I left. By the time silver crashed a few months later, the store was empty.[/QUOTE]
