If all this COMEX hubub is true then how do you explain silver bar availability at APMEX? Some bars are out of stock but there are still bars available at spot silver price ($36.30) plus $1.29 (approximate)

APMEX volume is insignificant compared to COMEX. APMEX is also buying from and selling to individuals who are behing the world market. Finally, I've notice that APMEX doesn't seem to have the amount of silver eagles on hand as before. Under "availabilty", they simply say "now".

COMEX is a precious metals brokerage house (I believe that would be the correct terminology), APMEX is a precious metals DEALER.

Be kinda like the difference between buying WalMart shares from Fidelity (brokerage) or buying flip flops at Wal Mart (dealer).

Kinda,,,,maybe.
