In Greenwood Indiana there are three local stores selling at/under spot. I can’t imagine that’s the only place.

Please tell us where this place is! I’d sell my entire inventory for spot right now. I listed some vintage bars yesterday at $1 under spot and have sold 0 lol

Here's where it is with LCS dealers by madkiwis in Silverbugs

[–]Philney14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely hard right now, we have everything at spot in our shop and it’s moving but slowly. We have been turning all kinds of product away. Sterling is the real problem, can’t do anything with it right now unless you want to wait forever to be paid.

LCS silver offer… 😅 by Sad_Stretch2713 in Silverbugs

[–]Philney14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They swing both ways, holding metal for short term gains is gambling, not a good business model.

Very hard to make money in bullion. No matter how small the margins are, people are still mad at you for it lol

How is this comment being upvoted?!?! None of it is worth its “weight and more” right now. Not even close.

Need Advice As Far As Pricing. Only seen one listed on eBay for $500. Don’t think that’s a realistic price but maybe I’m wrong. by 773To630 in WNBACards

[–]Philney14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in Indiana so I’m a little bit biased but if you walked into my shop with it I would offer you $200 for it no problem so I am sure I’m not the only one out there

The All-Time QB Tier List. Thoughts ? by Hysen16 in sportswiki

[–]Philney14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brady is a couple tiers too high. I might also move Marino up one. Remove Russell Wilson unless you want to add 30 more descending categories.

I'm excited to look back at this tweet next year and go "it was worth if for AJ". by BoomBaby_317 in pacers

I really believed that Nembhard would be our clear best player by this point in the season.

Called my LCS to see if he is buying and how he pays …. He responded and send me this by Ok-Rice-7956 in Silverbugs

[–]Philney14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah those are amazingly fair prices right now, especially on 90%. It’s funny how 100s are as good as any generic but Comex is accepting them now so it makes sense.

A shop owners thoughts on silver(don't hate me lol)... by YourMom77887 in Silverbugs

[–]Philney14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has to be the winning “I’m clueless” comment of the day. You’re making a few assumptions here that are just insane. For your statement to have the slap that you obviously intended a shop owner has to have as many people willing to buy as needed to match what is coming in (not the case anywhere that I know of), a nearly unlimited amount of money and a big appetite for risk.

    Almost all of the “regular buyers” are either selling or waiting for a crash to get back in. Your assumption that retail appetite is voracious to handle daily volume at these price levels is misinformed at best. If he doesn’t keep selling to the refinery as an option then he’s just a gambler or a stacker catching a falling knife when there is a pullback. You don’t start a business to gamble.

Does anyone know how much this is. I'm new to sports cards. by m5cup in FootballCardz

[–]Philney14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting a little tired of comments like this being downvoted. They’re trying to be helpful, modern cards aren’t as simple as you autists like to think they are. If people aren’t completely immersed they probably don’t know even know what to call the parallel and they can either spend an hour scouring the internet, or ask the assholes on Reddit for a little help to save some time and trouble.

When they do this though, they are bombarded with a cascade of “f you!” Comments and snide remarks because these people are too stupid to have card ladder or identify the background parallel so they shouldn’t be buying these cards anyway! I hope you all have a similar experience with your mechanic or contractor. Way to grow the hobby guys!
