How to buy silver for less than spot.
I’m done accumulating silver for now, so I thought I’d let you guys know how I have been buying silver for less than spot.

STERLING SILVER FLATWARE
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (typically copper).

On eBay, sterling silver flatware auctions are often won at a price less than spot. Bidding activity has increased in the last weak, now that silver has had its itsy-bitsy pullback, so it will sell closer to spot, if not at spot. But when silver takes a dip, the bidding activity decreases and that is when you can pick up silver very easily at less than spot.

To put this in perspective, a Silver Eagle at APMEX is currently selling for $42.65 for quantities less than 20. The spot price is around $37.15. This calculates to 15% over spot and that is not counting the S&H premium APMEX charges.

Smart. Some of these nutters here will tell you that no one wants sterling. One of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Your method guarantees you more profit per ounce than any bullion item will ever make.

Generate that wealth!

Good on ya!

Coming from you, I take that as an "extreme" compliment.

EBAY!

Buy it for well under spot on ebay and put in up for sale again. Its a dealer dream really. I always said i cant believe there arent more dealers out there.

I'm not kidding when I say buyers are starving for material.

The ONLY reason I cant make more money is I cant find enough material.

yes, I regularly buy all sorts of items that are sterling off of kijiji and Craigslist. People sell off inhereted items like flatwear, tea sets, old jewelery etc. for cheap when you factor in the high price of silver.

Hey, you really have something good here. If a person has 100 oz of sterling they have 92.5 oz of silver every time. Put 100 oz lots up for bid and add "92.5 oz of pure silver" in the title and work that sale!

The larger the lot, the bigger your profit. At 200 oz you are at over $7500 which brings ebay and paypal fees down to 5 or 6% combined.

Damn right they do. I went to get my hair cut and the elderly lady was telling me how she goes into thrift shops and picks it up for pennies on the dollar.

Yes, I realize there is variation. Old world coins vary greatly too, one just needs to divy it up and label it correctly.
