No. Just thought it was one of those sleeper auctions but who knows. Someone here may get some SAEs near spot. LOL. I think someone here bid on it as soon as I posted the link.

You could buy 3 ASE from an online dealer and pay shipping and it be the same price.

I just ordered 1 ASE and 2 random bars for $105.83 from provident metals. Replace my two random bars with the Premium for an ASE and you'd be at $110 shipped.

IMO id certainly rather do business with a reputable dealer if it ain't saving me anything significant.

Silver is going to go down in price anyway. Nobody jumped on the auction yet. People must not be combing through the listings like they were a few weeks ago.

I don't agree that it's going to go down much further, but I do agree that average people tend to buy when it's skying instead of when it dumps. They do the same thing with the stock market, real estate, beanie babies, tulip bulbs, etc... When the masses are in a frenzy to buy a certain asset class, you should be selling. PMs have come nowhere near that yet.

I'm telling ya. I think some sellers need money ASAP and maybe have a low,low cost basis anyway? I casually look for buy-it-nows. Not really trying to make a pilgrimage. I do think it is interesting that some lower premium deals are not scooped up so swiftly. Anyone wanna guess that potential buyers are not fired up about prices going higher as fast as they did earlier in the year? Who knows, but I have fingers crossed and some SLV as a contrarian hedge.

This one is comical:

If only one is sold, will that buyer win ?

Bumping this thread for the lolz. Silver prices 5.5 years ago were a lot HIGHER! The excitement of buying $45 silver and thinking it was a good buy. Now I am a cheap sob and roll my eyes at $17 silver.

$16 silver is a great deal, and since I just recently had a tragic loss of my stock in a boating accident when I was moving it to what was supposed to be a safer location, this is the time to re-stock from such a loss. That said, while the 3rd quarter 2011 prices were somewhat hyperbolic and hysterical, which is what happens in such a run-up event, it's also true that in the past 10 years the world has experienced multiple global near-meltdowns that were averted (not solved, the problems still exist and are greater than ever) only by unprecedented multi-national intervention. It was the uncertainty over how far TPTB would be willing to go to maintain the status quo, and how successful they would be, that justified building a physical holding even at higher prices. Now that prices are (and have been) lower again, but the global economic and political issues remain more serious than ever, for anyone that is on the sidelines of PMs wondering when to buy - the time to buy is now. Paper manipulation-based prices are so low that mines are being furloughed for lack of profit, and global production is tailing off.

Yep, in addition to buying some silver in the single digits (not enough) and teens, I bought silver into the 20s, 30s and into the upper 40s. I had a good reason for it, and that reason remains in effect. Hindsight is always 20/20; you can't go back. Dollar cost average to a better position, and hold tight.

These old posts are amusing!

Remember selling Canadian 80% silver for 23x and buying .999 rounds for $30. With that being said I am currently is cost averaging mode!

Tulip mania is over, even physical demand for silver is falling, possible spread this year of 14-21 according to analysts. I already splurged after Christmas and am holding out again for a repeat of last year.

Was talking to my dealer friend about one of our transactions about 4 years ago. He had a platinum Eagle 1 oz. Back then platinum was hard to come by and the premiums for eagles were thru the roof, but he wanted to move his so he priced it well. I was just a small time sorter and only bought wheats from the guy for years since I was younger so I dropped a 1 k-rand and $500 cash for the difference in spot to buy it.

He about had a heart-attack that a young kid who never bought more than $50 at once had a K-rand to make this deal. We did it and the Platinum eagle did well until it didnt- he still brings it up to this day. Even though platinum is much lower now I still would have gotten burnt on the gold- think it was $1400 gold/ $1800 plat
