Client Wants 1000 2013 Silver Eagles.

or you could look on the US Mint's Coin Dealer list

Looks like they're going for around $25 shipped on ebay for individual SAEs. I would assume someone could get them for $22 or less in bulk, right? Just guessing. Haven't looked anywhere. I was just coming here to comment on how I'm not finding silver on ebay anywhere near the spot price. Not that I expected to. Just an inane observation ;)

Provident has US Mint "monster boxes" of 500 "2013" ASEs for (at this moment in time) $11,740.50USD. This works out to $23.48 per coin. Two monster boxes == 1000 coins. Also, If I'm reading this correctly, Provident will ship your two monster boxes, insured and with tracking, for only $24.00USD. Not a bad deal from a trusted and reliable seller.

Try Wayne Miller in Helena, Montana. His prices are very competitive.

That's an immense order!

Thanks for the links guys. Will be looking into it. Guy is not in a hurry which makes it tougher on my part as silver jumps around.

Funny thing is that the person that wants the coins is a multi million dollar oil person. He is going through a stamp guy that does not do internet stuff (he is not quite worth a million unless you count his stamp business). So the stamp guy is going through me for the coins. I will be marking them up some and the stamp guy will also. Therefore, the client will be paying around $33 each.

Money will be given up front at least. Oil guy to stamp guy to coin guy.

Odd for sure.

On a different note, this stamp guy gets odd clients. I had him buying a 1926s Wheat cent every week for 3 months for $15 each. I was made an average of $7 per coin. He was selling them to a client for $30 each. Mind you this was 1 client buying all of these for way over book value.

The sad thing is that most of the stamp guy clients are older people that don't use computers and have the extra money to spend. He may be a self-made millionare but that is just from finding oil on his property and them buying the surrounding properties with the profits and finding more oil. Not much knoweldge needed for that, just luck.

I know the stamp guy told him $35 each and he countered at the $33.

Well this thread took an unexpectedly sad turn.

First off, we're all familiar with this here thing called the Interwebs so I see no point in "calling anyone out" or pointing fingers. Sometimes things are best politely taken with a grain of salt. At worst, well, some threads were meant to be ignored.

Second, I think it's important to remember that this site has both coin buyers *and* sellers. The story behind this thread was rather interesting until the specifics of the "deal" were revealed. While we all appreciate a well negotiated transaction, price gouging (or the appearance there of) is a real sore point with many members. Giving benefit of the doubt to the OP, I think it was unwise to discuss price without providing additional context as to the "value added" service you were providing to justify such a premium per coin. However, bragging about taking advantage of someone's ignorance is unlikely to get much approval around here. Enough about that.

BUT...getting back to what I was originally going to post. To the question someone posted about why the buyer wouldn't be savvy enough to just buy coins on the Internet, there is a type of person, often smart and successful, and "yes" of a certain age, who would never ever make a serious business transaction over the Internet. For this person, such transactions require personal, face to face communication with their chosen broker or dealer or financial advisory or CPA or whatever. For this person it's less about price and more about the relationship with the person on the other side of the transaction. Such buyers are rare in this day and age, but a few are still out there.
