[quote=flu]I am finding its not so easy to sell bullion back…especially silver.[/quote]
That’s unfortunate to hear…every time I sold gold or silver several years ago it was seamless. I sold to kitco once, but I usually bought and sold from the (now Chapter 11 and very likely criminal) Bullion Direct P2P platform.
BD was nice while it lasted, and if you’re bored you can read all about it. Best summary is blogged about here. Short version is that people thought aggregate ~~$30M of metals were stored in some fashion, but there appears to only be about $700k when they filed chapter 11. I always just took delivery. It looks like they’re trying to emerge from chapter 11 with the same basic P2P bullion trading platform, but with new management. I hope the old management goes to jail; FBI is investigating.
I’ve never tried selling to a coin shop. I’ve got some Ag 100oz bars I want to sell, possibly very soon if Ag price keeps up.
