Who to order from??

[westkybanded]

Been setting my sights on finding a vendor for a weekly silver purchase.

Narrowed my search down to the following:

Universal: (tried them 1 week ago, and they lost my order)
JM Bullion: (Great pricing, and free shipping/ $100 minimum order)
Provident: (Good prices and reputation seems good.)
APMEX via Ebay: (Free shipping)


Any other suggestions? Looking at just setting back 1-2 silver eagles a week for the forseeable future.

I've ordered from Apmex, Provident, Monarch Mint and Silvertowne in the past. I have been eyeing JM Bullion lately because they seem to have the lowest premiums. I would say go with them. Why pay more?

ive been picking up silver bars on ebay
5 gram bars for between 7 & 10 bucks
not to bad

The prices you quoted mean an ounce of silver is costing you between $44 and $62 per ounce (31.1 grams per troy ounce). That's not just bad, but really really bad if you are wanting a good deal. You are paying a minimum of 100% premiums right now. You could buy semi numismatic silver dollars for that much (still not a great deal) instead of 5 gram silver bars.

Just my opinion.

Kind of a misnomer about "any quantity"... $100 minimum order, so you can't buy even 4 without adding to the order to get over the minimum.

I wish I could them at that price locally. They are about 3.50 over spot here for smaller quantities. Whenever I see really good deals like that from the big online companies I wonder if they think a lower price is coming and they want to get rid of inventory?

I've bought gold and silver bullion and 90% silver coins from JM Bullion with good results. Its hard to beat their prices if you're going to buy in some larger quantities.

 

[ecoast]

I have used provident and ampex on ebay when they have a sale.

jm sounds good.

 

[Mr. Silver Stash]

Got my ASE's from JM Bullion on Friday. I took almost four weeks from order to delivery with paper check method of payment. With some patience, this was a good deal.
