interesting about jewelry. Its not typical investment in metal price as only part of the value is the weight of the chain. Would you say its better than gold bars?

I am short gold so sort of hoping you guys all sell and buy stock.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1oz-TROY-OUN...em257b69 4428 1 oz gold coin, whats up with the price?

or this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-5oz-TRO...60984129532%26
isn't that the price of 1 oz and its 5 oz there

This is not real gold or real silver. It is CLAD, means that it is only laid with gold/silver on the ouside. This is WORTHLESS.

Yep, no point on buying those.. but since they sell it, does anybody actually buy those?

Why would you be short gold right now?

We're at a bottom and it's about to shoot back up...

how about old pentium cpu's for their scrap gold content

I know a guy who makes 6 figures a year getting scrap batteries with Silver in them. Its a pretty big now.


Anyone want to sell there gold? Ill buy it...

I dunno about "better" than gold bars .... but a thief will have to pry it from my dead body if they want it ... including the government.

The problem I have with gold/silver bars, is if you are not storing them in a hole in the ground, you stand the very real risk of your bank/government stealing them from you ... if shit gets real, the first thing the government will do is make owning gold and silver illegal, and they will search and seize any held in safety deposits ... they did it in 1933 (EO 6102), and they WILL do it again!!

I hope I will never live to see the day the economy collapses, but I always have a backup plan in case it does!!

When the economy went to hell during the great depression, the Rockefellers and Rothschilds blatantly robbed America, buying up defaulted loans at about 5 cents on the dollar! The only people who weathered the storm, were those that had their riches on their persons - mostly stored as physical gold and silver. History always repeats. :Oh crap

One more listing I do not understand:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:B:ONA:GB:3160

50 grains of silver is about 3 grams of silver and current bid is 49$ while you can buy 31 gram bullion for that amount and still have money left. What am I missing here?

Collected gold Sovereigns since the late 1970's

50 grains of silver is much more usable to a jeweler who repairs jewelery, than a 31 gram coin or ingot that he would have to melt down to use as solder.



But sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to ebay bids ... supply and demand has more to do with the selling price than actual retail value.

I buy 2010 MacBook Pros for less than $800 on days that there are dozens of them listed ... but other days when the pickings are not so plentiful, I have seen them go as high as $1700 :Oh crap

That is what makes a market. Been short awhile so no worries.
