Well just wanted to share with you all. Sorry if you were at this auction I just won 16 92.5% Canadian quarters on bay for $72 shipped. I couldn't resist!
Spot today is 23.84xface and I got them for 18xface I paid $4.5 per quarter and spot is $5.96. These bananas will tell you how I feel.

Actually, I feel a little bad for the seller. I paid $63 for the quarters and $9 for xpresspost shipping. Melt alone is $95. I would be no too pleased if this was my auction and this is what it went for. Hope we dont run into a problem with "i cant find the coins to ship to you". Fingers crossed guys and gals!

Nice pick up. I always place nominal bids like that on ebay especially when I see less professional looking listings in hopes of getting lucky. Hasn't worked yet but glad to see someone is getting good deals.

Good pick up!
there are always nice deals on auctions ... I make bets every single day ... every week win something of value :)

P.S. I feel bad for the seller who listed 1 kg lunar series 1 dragon for $900 in BIN ....
thinking about if I should go for it or better stay with my plan of 1 oz(or less) bullion only ?!

Nice catch! About a year ago, I was searching for US 90% quarters on ebay, when I found a lot with Canadian 80% mixed in, not in the photo. The other bidders must not have noticed, because my winning bid got me the 80% for free.

Buying from international sellers is a pain. I ordered a couple morgans from Thailand not actually realizing I am buying from outside US. Has been 3 weeks and haven't heard anything back. It takes toooo long for the coins to come ( I do hope they come!). And then buying a kilo coin, I would be suspicious. How do you guys know for sure its real?

Haha...good call but someone will find it eventually and take it from you if you wait too long.
When I couldnt find the add I figured it was on one of the other ebay sites.
Its a good point about having the buyer protection...a lot of times for me, it isn't enough. I like to use a seller with a bit of history as well. I realize you will be protected in the end, but a pain to go through all the hoops to get there.

Thanks! The question is do I flip and take my profits and lower my DCA or take profits and buy another OZ OR do I just start a tube of 92.5% quarters and hold? Hmmmm... Was thinking of taking profits and lowering my DCA since I'm expecting a correction this week...so next week or the week after may be a buying OP in the $31-$32 range. The profits can offset higher priced items that I bought at the higher range. Some people buy and sell and add OZ but I generally just add when I can and use profits to minimize my involvement. Really for me its about how much I have invested in what I have. I try and buy on dips and sell high but I'm usually buying all the way up and all the way down....at what point we are in the cycle decides how much.

Id take the profits personally. Even if silver stays the same price you could end up with more silver with the profit money

Its always a fine balance on wanting to add more or protecting your liquidity huh. If you lower your costs instead, if something ever really did happen and its time to sell, you lower the chances of taking a loss.
