[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7472617, member: 115909"]Today I walked into a local place in Los Angeles that I found on Google. I wanted to sell some 1oz silver generic rounds so I could buy some platinum on JMB. The guy said he pays 30% of spot for gold and silver. No that is not a typo: He offered thirty percent of spot! Thats about $8/oz for silver. & about $540/oz for gold. I actually laughed. Obviously I didn’t accept his deal. He actually tried to make me feel like 30% of spot is a fair dealer and that I didn’t know what I was talking about. Then I tried to show him what JMB pays for bullion and explained that it’s closer to 80-85% that is a fair deal. He responded to that by saying he has to pay overhead, utilities, employees, rent etc., and that is why 30% is fair. But I know a lot of dealers with physical stores like Vernillion Enterprises who pay spot or slightly less for silver & gold. It was definitely an interesting experience being lowballed like that. I’ve never been nearly as badly lowballed by a dealer. But I’m curious how often it happens to that extreme. What’s the lowest offer a dealer has made you for bullion?[/QUOTE]
