When I had to sell off some of my PMs a few years ago, I got about 10% more for them on eBay than Apmex offered (After subtracting the eBay fees). , and 30-40% more than any of the area jewelery shops offered, (and 50% more than the “we buy gold” outfits and pawn shops offered).
I did refuse to sell to anyone with very few feedback ratings, or low feedback ratings, but had absolutely no problems.
You mean those shouting ads on talk radio aren't real - they won't give me top dollar? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
