Free Money

[piddlinginsilver]

I decide to sell some things on eBay and gained a little more money allotted for silver this month. It is only a $100 but it is better than not having in extra. Since I am only about a month into this new and exciting hobby my stack is small but my wants are huge. My wish list

Lunars, kooks (2016 & 2008), panadas, lunar skulls, silverback gorilla, a select zombucks (just cause I like a few of them), olympus (god or goddess) isle of man. I am sure I saw a few more that I like but can't remember them all.

What do you guys think, should I buy some of these to keep my addiction going or save it for next month? I realize people can't predict the future but I want to get the best deal on any of these. Meaning if I can stack them now before there price goes up anymore that would be great.

If you are looking for the cheapest price per coin then it might be worth waiting and adding them onto your next months order as you will save on shipping. Depends what the spot price will be.

Sometimes there are some good deals in the US with free shipping. I don't buy from the US so can't comment as to which places are good to buy from, but I think APMEX (which might not necessarily be the cheapest) have free shipping on domestic US orders if the order is over 99 USD

Yes Chris, Apmex has that deal right now. I bought 4 1/2 monkeys and a 2oz last week. Might have spent a couple of extra dollars since I only bought singles (not rolls) but now I have them.

Here's a couple of things I have seen in the last week or so. It seems Soros made a play into gold mining stocks and physical gold and that pushed the gold price in the past week-ish. IMHO, that was also the incentive for the silver price to head north, the better part of $1.25-ish in the past week. That took some of my bullion coin buys and blow them way up from my recent yet previous purchase prices. So I am sitting like you, hit it now or wait? What I did see on Ebay was Modern Coin Mart had Australian Wedge Tail Eagles for $24.95 and the price hasn't changed at all regardless of what has happened to spot. Also been watching the Queen's Beasts 2ozon Ebay and that too is selling in the low 60s, no matter where spot is. So IMHO, it appears on some of these semi numismatics, they are priced by what the market will bear, not necessarily reflecting spot. When I go to JM, or Provident or Apmex, everything there is tied to spot and fluctuates unlike these I am seeing on Ebay. Ebay scares the crap outta me though, so I try to investigate the sellers as being legit as much as I possibly can. Not sure that helps, just my observations recently on these two pieces.

It does help. I have been seeing some stay around market price on eBay too (scares me too). I do like the beasts. I thought about buying a couple at 60. One for my personal stash and one to flip later down the road if it goes up more. But if is doesn't go up then I have a few ounces over priced.

The Beasts are "supposed" to be unlimited mintage, but I am thinking like you, one keeper and one or two to flip in the near future. I am going for the keeper first, then probably hang tight for a bit to wait for supply to open up a bit, if it ever does.
