biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 10/17/2011 10:39 pm Guy called to ask if we sold silver. While I was loading the price page, he said he was looking for maples. I throw this out to Canadian posters: Do you or your fellow PM buyers commonly look for ASE? Report this Post to the Staff
chris beatie Valued Member 344 Posts	Posted 10/18/2011 02:44 am honestly if you willing to haggle and feel confident enough to discern real from fakes easily, E-Bay, pawn shops, or craigslist are the way to go. ebay and Craigslist have gotten me the best deals percentage wise. Its consistently 30%-5% under spot. Try my first pawn shop yesterday and I could not really complain. They had some eagles and I talked them down to 1.5 over spot. More then I usually pay as I am the kinda guy who only wants to pay under spot. But at a buck fifty over per oz I couldn't really go wrong either. However the haggle method takes a lot of effort to get the sweet deals. Often for bigger trades it takes a couple days of negotiating before we both come to a price. However if you enjoy doing it (as I do) then its by far the best way to get PMs. Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 2:23 pm I think I'm pretty lucky. I buy locally-no delivery, no minimum purchase, very personal. I pay 3 percent over spot to buy and can sell back the same under spot. He always has stock and from what I have heard on other sites/articles some are having problems with availability esp since silver came down in price Report this Post to the Staff
johnjm22 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 3:15 pm At first glance, prices on ebay appear to be inflated, but if you're patient you can get some good deals. I just picked up 12 pre-1965 Washington quarters for $64 shipping included. A collection of 70 Franklin half dollars (1961) went for $782 shipped in this auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30061112338...t_500wt_1127 Edited by johnjm22 10/19/2011 3:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jamwins Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 4:03 pm I use Miles Franklin. Their premiums vary, but now they're @ $2 above spot to buy and $.40 above if you're selling to them. Report this Post to the Staff
poboxw Pillar of the Community Canada 1502 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 01:39 am biggfredd: in my limited experience ASEs are just as popular here in Canada as they are in the States, the problem comes with the higher premium charged for them here when compared to maples. Know quite a few that chooses the shinier maples over ASEs based on price alone. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 12:09 am It just struck me as odd that a US buyer who specifically wanted maples wouldn't just ask for them up front. Report this Post to the Staff
