1) Win auction(s) on ebay hopefully getting silver for a market price or below totaling $250
2) Buy $250 ebay gift cards at Kroger. Currently they are giving 4x fuel points, so this gets you 1000 points good for $1/gallon off up to 35 gallons in one transaction. If you have a truck with a 35 gallon tank this is a $35 rebate
3) Pay for the gift cards with a Fidelity (or similar) credit card that offers 2% cash back ($5 rebate)
4 Get 2% ebay bucks for a future transaction ($5 rebate)

Cost after rebates as low as $205 for a $250 ebay purchase

eBay Bucks are not offered on anything in the "bullion" category anymore. You'll only get those if it's listed in the "coins" category. The $1/gallon at Kroger is awesome though, too bad there aren't any around here

Somebody here is using their noggin, as my Dad used to say. Nice going.

No matter, every time you use credit your giving another sliver to the 1%, and they've already marked everything up accordingly to make up for the credit scam we fell for some years ago now. I wish retailers could still have a credit or cash price, it's against the law to do that in my state. Still, kudo's to those working the system via credit, I only use them when I absolutely have to, which is more often now than ever before.

It's more than a sliver. Up to 3% sometimes. And it's not "the 1%", it's more like the "0.00001%". The credit card companies are the super-wealthy and I once wrote a paper on how mathematically it was possible for all wealth to eventually flow to the credit card companies!

I get 5% off my local grocery store and use them to buy many other gift cards so all are 5% off. Never looked for an ebay card before
