So I’m noticing that apmex routinely alternatives between the mapl leaf, the american eagle, and the american buffalo in offering a special pricing” almost every week. The special offer is usually $30-44 above spot prices., and the price updates roughly every 10 minutes on ebay.

Just a dumb question. How are places like apmex getting their gold coins such that it’s immuned to the price fluctuations of the current market in order to make money?

Since most of these coins are 2016 ‘new, it seems like they are getting it directly from the US mint and the CAN mint. But how can they do this? Just curious.

There’s like a $100 difference between those that bought last week and those that are buying today.
