Got a gift card to spend and figured, hey Amazon has silver. Well I think the opportunity is to sell Silver on Amazon - any one tried that already? One of the problems would be adjusting Amazon prices for spot movements.

When the prices are that crazy, there's really no need to worry about frequently adjusting the price. Unless silver jumps like $30/oz over night, is it really that bad to 'only' make $28 instead of $30/oz? :lol:

Crazy the $67 SAE listing actually has 9 reviews. People are actually buying them!
