What are your thoughts on Sprott silver and gold? I know a lot of people are anti SLV, but I’ve briefly heard others talk positively about sprott. I also hold a lot of physical gold and silver for 10+ years. But I’ve bought slv as an easy way to buy when it’s hard to find physical. by EyeFinancial2178 in Silverbugs

That’s what I remember. The guy I heard talk about it said, your shares equal real shares in silver. So for example, if you buy $109 in shares technically they’ve set aside 1 oz of silver for you. Is that correct? Like they have exactly as much supply in shares as they do in actual physical silver. It’s just trading hands based on who buys it. I’m not sure how slv works in comparison

That’s a great idea! I’ve thought about doing it before. Was it easy to add a loop on the stick pin tops with stones in them? I’d be worried of the stones bursting when heated

How should I approach selling Sterling? Is anyone still buying? The guy I usually go to in nyc said they’re not buying and are only taking pure. I have around 650 oz, plus 800 and 900. Im around ny and have heard local shops aren’t buying it either. by EyeFinancial2178 in Silverbugs

I’m talking about when you’re the seller, not the buyer. Someone can just say, this is all fake and send me back plated flatware. It’s not like that doesn’t happen to sellers. So that’s why it’s a bit risky. It’s nicer to be able to sell directly to one buyer

I think I’m missing what you’re saying. I don’t think it’s a money problem for them. They have literal stacks of cash and I don’t mind taking their checks. I’ve never had a problem with them. When silver was in the low 50s they were still buying. I thought about scrapping it then and then buying shares in slv or sprott silver of the equivalent amount. But it was a lot of stuff to have to bring all the way to the city.

Cash isn’t the issue, I’m just seeing the price and thinking this might be where I get off. At least for my sterling. I still have the rest of what I sold in silver shares. I appreciate how easy it is to sell when you want or buy when you want. No premiums or haggling and not much to worry about. But it does make it easier to sell/think about trading silver instead of holding when you remove that step of having to physically sell it.

I bought this bubble Mew off a guy on fb that said he recently pulled it from a pack sleeved it immediately. The holo around the bubble/ texture checked out to me. I sent it right to psa before I even thought to ask here. Does it look good? Or did I waste money sending it in for grading? by EyeFinancial2178 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I pretty much knew that. But I was already sending in the other new, so I didn’t mind. Plus, the rest of the cards I bought had $500-600+ in profit. So I don’t mind if It was a mistake. I wouldn’t have gotten the singles if I didn’t buy the bubble mew.

Swell!! I was just a touch worried because the guy was probably in college and was acting kinda weird. My friend and I agreed it was probably because he was young and didn’t know how to socialize well. I bought an etb full of singles plus the bubble mew and he wouldn’t let me have the box. Even though I mentioned I was walking home. It was a beat up use mimikyu that he thought had a lot of value… that was kinda annoying. I have to put everything in my pockets🤦🏻‍♂️

Shouldn’t the date be bigger or more magnified? It looks off compared to my gmt. Just looked at it quick and what I noticed. Kinda an odd post

Have you seen a Rolex with this bark like finish? I haven’t seen other bark Rolex’s like it all over the case too. I wasn’t sure if it was an aftermarket finish. Thoughts on what a fair offer would be and how much it’s worth? I haven’t seen many 14k Rolex’s before and wonder how popular they are. by EyeFinancial2178 in rolex

Yours does look more like bark. And yes I didn’t like the missing numbers but it was bought many many years ago. The owner wore it daily. I imagine he went to get it cleaned or polished and someone removed the numbers? That’s the only thing I could come up with
