for under $600 though. But I felt the demand for the eagles would keep their value more. And I prefer smaller silver and gold to the larger.

I still hope everythign works out! I have some money in a paypal account too, I might grab some airtites off of ebay to keep em clean :D

Not spent... merely converted from paper with ink on it to REAL money!

I just had a similar experience with Provident. I ordered 4 tubes of silver Maples on 4/14, paid by check as usual, and received the shipment on 5/2. This is longer than usual. Previous shipments from Provident only took about 10 days.

Another odd thing is that when I order from APMEX, I have to "guarantee" the shipment with a credit card that is not charged but could be if my check bounced. LOL! Fat chance of that happening! Anyway, this does not speed up the shipment at all. It still takes about 10 days to get the order.

One of these days, guys, a new PM seller will come on the scene who can vet their customers via their credit ratings and who will then ship immediately upon phone verification of a customer's check. That would eliminate the check kiting... er, 5-6 day holding time. It would also make for faster shipments and happier customers who BUY MORE PMs. If they really felt the need to back up the check with a valid CC, that would be fine.
