two different directions!!

[neilgin1]

i'll try and be brief..(lolz)

i was just flipping thru emails, and i had some Ebay auction ending emails. i usually peruse, "US silver coins rolls"...go thru the list, and watch the rolls that interest me......which are BU rolls of 90's, Halves and Quarters, Morgans, ASES....ok?

so i go to Ebay, my watch list, and the first thing i see, is a roll of 1961-D Franklins, BU's..a nice roll, nothing i'd get to be hyperventilating over, but with a half and hour to go, the roll is trading at $404!...another roll is trading a solid $350, i think it was 1960D roll of Frank's.....and i'm thinking, "did silver just trade crazy higher on the day?"

so i go check out the board, and silver at comex must of got clobbered today, (i wasnt watching) coz it shows a 31.50 something print...my first thought was "wtf?!?".......its like the "board" is trading one direction, and real world physical silver, is trading to the other, the trade is ROBUST to the upside...its almost like two different markets.

and you know, we CAN SAY, "oh, i'll just wait for a "set-back".....and buy"....in the physical?.....i REALLY dont think in the physical, we're going to see that much of a set back...the buying is just too intense.

as my brother just said to me, "these are some strange days".....amen.

Yeah when it comes to eBay there is some crazy commerce going on their. I used to buy from that auction site till I noticed that pull backs in the metals market didn't make sense with auctions taking place in real time. The best deals I feel are from members of this site and sites like these, where common sense still prevails. Just my 2 cents.

I have to agree with Todd on this one... I got burned pretty badly on ebay a couple of years ago... thought I was getting a fairly good deal (after the first severe pullback) on 100 Prospectors at $42.25 (and my bid was locked in)

and, well...

we all know what happened after that one


what does not kill us makes us stronger... still waiting on that one
