aardvark 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 i'm looking to sell some of my silver - i have 80oz in 4 very ulgy poured bars - and am wondering if anybody has any thoughts as to where would be the best place to sell them? ebay is a possibility but i don't know how much interest these ugly bars will get (they don't have a makers stamp on, only the weight and purity - although i did get them from a dealer so i am 100% positive they are silver). some of the 'we buy silver' places are giving pretty poor prices. any other options? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll skip out on having to have them assayed that way. Did you keep the receipt? Good Luck! Failing that I would just keep them as paper weights/flower presses. I have a couple like that and I heard the shop where I got them has been 'washed away' in the tsunami Oh dear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aardvark 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 i'll try and get a picture tonight. i guess they are ugly because there are a lot of air bubbles on the bottom of a couple of them. i don't think they were poured very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpig 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Interesting bars... I quite like the 9.9oz one, it looks quirky. Thankfully they're just small bars, so you should be able to shift them. I'd try Ebay, you never know. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does bullion vault charts work? Thanks i might try bairds - they say they buy bars that are not their own. i got them from a dealer in the US and he was having difficulty getting hold of any silver at the time (2008) so i said i'll take whatever he had, so he said he had these at the back of his safe. silver is silver after all i'm only selling them because i'm a bit light on cash at the moment - i have no doubt that silver will continue to go up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Anybody trying to uy from CID will have run into this. Capital controls. For all other European countries, the EC has implemented limits for the sale of silver. Unless you are trying to send to the UK or Germany, each country has 'limits'.

Pixel8r 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 I am expecting silver to show some serious strength again soon, once we close above $42.50 we will be back on track, the heavy manipulation (5 margin hikes in quick succession) correction will be behind us. Blythe Masters must be starting to fret, her efforts don't seem to be as effective anymore which is understandable with higher margins as that means less speculative holders.

PlatinumZ 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 I don't have any silver, but if this thing is going down, I may be very tempted. Also wasnt planning on purchasing any more gold, but if that dips too then I'll probably give in a buy a few more sovs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
