<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 8477982, member: 13650"]I didn't end up going today. I could have. The thing is I could get there when the doors open and spend the entire day and still feel rushed. The show is so big I don't feel like I can absorb everything I want to see in a day so I didn't make the drive. Busy at work too. With the crazy high prices maybe my wallets happier too. lol</p><p><br /></p><p> In 2011 I went to it and silver was $40 an oz. I brought some decent bullion in and traded on some nice material. It felt rewarding. Today, 11 years later, silver was below $20 (while inflation is raging!) So if I wanted to bring any bullion to help with purchases I'd be trading in silver that cost me practically $30/oz to acquire, for under $20. Giving it away at a loss. PM prices are a total joke right now. And I bet nobody's selling silver for $20 an ounce there. I like to use it as a supplement sometimes on larger purchases but not when it's this bad in the red.</p><p><br /></p><p> I had a great time at last years. Grabbed several nice ones on my list. This year I didn't prepare well for it. Don't have anything to get graded, don't have anything I want to trade, PM prices are in the tank, I wasn't able to stay over night and it's busy at work. But I truly hope everyone else is having a great time there. Gotta love the on site grading. I bet they were busy. They didn't have it last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
