” 2011 Sealed Boxes Of Silver Maples For $1.99 A Coin Over Spot”
$2.00 and lower is what the small guys around here are charging over spot, and $2/under is what they buy it at, unless you have a hundred ounces or more then they cut a deal.
Bought a few eagles at $1 over spot this past weekend.
The run is on....
And what’s their minimum? 500 ounces?
The only problem with Tulving is that you can't buy smaller lots any more. I mean, his minimum purchase is pretty huge these days.
