I mostly buy from apmex.com through Ebay. Some time ago, I discovered that apmex has an Ebay store front. Once in a while, apmex would have a “SPECIAL PRICE!” bullion deal where you can buy the bullion via Ebay at the same or lower price as their wire/check price at their own website. This is when I usually buy because 1) I get 1% back since I fund paypal acct with CC and 2) I don’t have to wait many, many days for my check to clear hoping that they are still in business (yes, I am little paranoid).
