I really don't understand the concept of 'buying' PM without taking delivery. Do you make or or pay less for them even in a perfect world without delivery? I really can't ever see doing that. I guess Murphy's Law for my thought process anything that can go wrong will!
Rest in Peace

Guess that could but then it would kind of be saying it 2 different things


They are two different things. Would you accept a receipt for 1000 ASE if you want 1000 ASE?

Remember Ed, one man's theft is another man's rehypothecation.

Yeah, I'm sure that the James Boys, the Daltons, and Bonnie and Clyde looked at it in just that way!

They wanted $35+ for the junk morgans and $33+ for the silver eagles, so I walked out with a zero for a purchase.

those are pawn shop prices, mate!

If a dealer doesn't have enough turnover in his ASE sales, he can find himself in a position like the one described by the O.P: all his inventory was purchased at a higher price and to make a living, he has to price accordingly.

Yes I often wondered how the place I buy manages to keep track of it all but I guess he does. He seems to always have both sellers and buyers I assume that's how he does it. He sells for 3percent over spot for junk but buys for 5percent under so I guess the 8 percent spread keeps him afloat

Most of my local spots are like you posted but one pawn shop buys for a little under spot and sells for $1 over on Peace and $2 over on Morgans and ASE so he gets my business. I guess I'm lucky it's there for me. NE Missouri is the area.
