Wow.. I think I paid a bit under spot for some gold..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...801841&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_976wt_1165

Paid $457 shipped..

These in 1 grams at APMEX is $52 so 52x10 = $520..

Both Pamps.

10 Grams of pure gold melts at $389 today. So while you paid less them APMEX you paid more then spot.

 

Nvm. I just did simple math and it comes to about $38 a gram but unless you know someone, good luck getting it for that.

 

A 10 gram bar from pamp sells for $407 at APMEX. $427 shipped. You even paid more than APMEX.

It's odd that there's such a premium on the 1 gram bars..

For a credit card order on that 10 grammer on Apmex, I would be paying $440..so it's not too high over that.

Plus I had bing cashback money and some extra balance in my paypal, so all in all, i'm happy i did this. i love this bar design and my dec 3 retirement is tomorrow so, yeah..

 

The same can be said for Gold Eagle ..do the math on a 1/10 ounce sometime...it's rediculous.

 

thats like paying $1416 an oz
but a long as your happy thats what counts

true but can you show me where to get a beautiful design like this on your gold for spot?

 

:kewl: you got me there

 

Being somebody who pretty much "squeaks when they walk", I stick to the modern commemorative gold. It can frequently be bought for very little premium over melt, and sometimes under melt....though those occurances are getting to be fewer and farther between. I also have a few circulated pre-33 Gold coins, and just last week bought a half eagle for scrap...under melt AND in a 14K screw type bezel. I'll sell off the bezel and have the gold 1/4 ounce 22K coin for about 30 dollars under melt value.

I guess it depends on whether you want gold or designs. Would you buy the design for the same premium if it was on a zinc bar?

 

lol not at all..

why? because pretty women on pretty gold means the world to me.. goldfinger anyone?

 

have to agree with you
i bought 2006 proof $5 old mint for 182 euro
which is about $275 early last week

Best I ever did though was finding the 3 pc world cup set for 150 bucks. Got the gold and a silver dollar too...well, and a clad half, but who cares about that.

It was a buy it now...and I couldn't get to the button fast enough :hammer:

Wow U give our generation a bad name

I look for Arbitrage in my investments! Why would brag about this?

If you got it off ebay for like 200 that would be worth a brag, but for a net loss no sir.

 

BNB I have to say that your move was more bearish then bullish no ?

Where do I sign up for Bing cashback?
