Silver Vs. Gold (Which One Is Better For Me)

LOL, you sound a little naive but good luck. I like gold but you can't buy much on $250.

Just saying. It isn't impossible

It looks like all you learned is how to be another Internet troll.

You posted how you made $300 on a transaction where I showed your actual profit was at most $6, and likely a considerable loss. Then you had the chutzpah to remove your post, rather than admit you were wrong.

I started out with very little cash, too, back when $250 would buy silver that would cost well over $5000 today, or a complete gold denomination type set, including the $3.

Can you make a profit by buying and reselling, particularly buying larger quantities and selling smaller ones? Without a doubt. Is $250 enough to do this with gold or silver? Not as a general rule.

You may be able to do some small selling (buy rolls of the eight 2009 cents and holders, and sell sets, for example), but you'll be making money mainly for doing a lot of hours of work, which isn't exactly the "sitting on your butt at a computer" that I believe you mentioned.

Don't forget to report that 6$ to pay taxes on your profit lol

Rbethell11, I admire your 18 year old spunk, but you are green my friend, as all 18 year old kids are green, as was I when I was your age, and as I still am at 37, it just is what it is. You are in bus school and into pm's already, so I will say you were smarter than I at that age....

My dad always told me..."Kid, how did you get smarter than me, and I am three times older than you?"

The one thing you are missing my young friend, no matter how smart you think you are, nothing replaces EXPERIENCE, and these guys you are talking with here have been there an done it many times over, and one could learn much from taking the time to consider their point of view. Not saying you shouldn't decide for yourself in the end, but don't be so fast to discount their advice either, as my dad also always say...."If your gonna be dumb, you better be tough", lol.

I do like you, so don't take it the wrong way, but my ol man ripped my backside most of my day, and if I really had been listening, I would have already retired by now, other than bar tending and buying and selling products on ebay....

I don't doubt that you can make some wise moves and buy and sell and make a profit in time.I also think you should consider what the vets who have bought an sold for years say, and know the ends and outs of hidden costs that eat up profit, via shipping, ebay, paypal, etc.. Nothing wrong with buying and selling often, I have considered it myself, as I also say often we own nothing we just rent it, lol. And being that driven to turn a profit that early is only a good thing IMO, as if I have stated if most of your generation thought that way, I would feel more comfortable about the society's overall future....

In the end, one has to follow ones gut, if all the great successes of the world also listened to someone who said something could not be done, then they may have not ever accomplished anything....

And lastly, I have little experience at this, as I just got into it back in January, so we are on similer paths....

Yes. I took advantage of someone. When someone offers you free money you take it. Bigfredd I'm not going to argue with you. Obviously you feel that I'm lying and digging myself in a hole, but it is I who is laughing to the bank. I feel sorry for you, who feels that you know so much that anything out of your ability to comprehend must be "fantasy". I will gladly take a picture of my paypal transaction to show you how easy it is to make money when you stop living in your "fantasy land"
