In Canada at least, many refiners will not buy from the public. Too much risk and bother.

Thanks for the welcome and all the insight! I was thinking along the same lines re costs associated with ebay would offset most of the gain. I just got back an accounting and check from Midwest for test of a couple of rolls of quarters. They had the same weight I did, and paid 90%, all seems good except for, no fault of theirs, the spot price had dropped $3 from the day I shipped to it's arrival. I'm thinking now that with the quantity I have it's probably worth sending overnight so the spot price wouldn't likely move all that far from where it was.

and trdhrdr007, could you share what the issue was you had with Midwest if that's something you're comfortable doing?

And any other trusted refinery suggestions would be great.

Thanks again!

Fees on ebay for coins are 6%


I pay 10%. Maybe 6% is for volume sellers who have a store?

IN any event, sounds like the posyer has arrived at a good solution.

I've had a store so long I forgot there were fee differences.

When I dealt with them several years ago the price of silver was very volatile. Price movements of 3-5% a day were fairly common. It could be a coincidence but every time I sent a shipment it either arrived or was processed on a down day. I was fairly new to the game & was sending sterling which has to be melted & assayed. There's a certain amount of weight loss during the process. IMO melt losses were slightly high & assays were slightly low.

Interesting. I did notice that the spot price that was used was the low that it hit for the day . Thanks for the info!
