He has 126 items sold so he is not selling in volume - his prices look a bit rich to me.
These are classic vintage era - 1970's and 80's.
People collect them. 
i bought these from sellerstacker at the weekend. i didn't really go for the bar on the right but i fancied the one on the left. It interested me. Do i think there is something special about it? Well no but i do collect older bars and i kind of liked it, the price was ok and so i got it. Had the price been higher i would have given it a pass - the bar is for me - it is going in a box and maybe at some point i will get it out and give it a look before it goes back in the box. 
So nothing particularly special about the Happy Birthday bar but i like it - nothing special about the  " My Little Chickadee " bar - I mean do people collect them or something? Well some might but it is not shouting out. If it has been a feisty nude woman with big tlts and prominent nipples then expect a premium but not a old fat man with a top hat.

Always young at heart Roy but sadly it is only in my imagination. i did notice one time we were pretty much the same age - so yes MUCH OLDER.

Deep Lazer engraved yes 

Is this a laser etched bar?

A 1 kg bar is not really big, it is pretty standard. A 100 oz bar is big.
It seems there was a time when silver bars were drilled out and tungsten put in - but it has never been during my time of buying bars. It certainly is an issue with gold bars and one of the reasons I don't buy them. Perhaps one day we will see tungsten filled silver bars again.
Basic bullion coins like Maples and Britannias are at the cheaper end of the price range. Maples have had a bad rep in the past as they almost always would develop milk spot. I haven't followed this too closely but a few years ago the RCM said they had altered their production process to stop this. Stackers generally don't like milk spot and so a coin that is very likely to develop it won't command the same price. It ceases to be a collector type coin. Britannias also have milk spot problems. 
There are loads of Brits and Maples in the hands of members - there is nothing special about them - unless you are looking at one of the basic bullion type coins that have something special about them then why would anyone want to pay extra.
Personally i am keen on different silver bars - especially vintage bars. When i have the spare cash i like to get them - i collect them. 
The 100 oz and 5kg silver bars are quite a price. This means fewer members have the spare cash to buy. The prices won't go so high as there is less competition.
The relative price of bars to coins has fluctuated over time. Bars used to be cheaper here - then they get a bit more expensive. On average I wouldn't say the difference is big but at the moment it would not surprise me if you have seen the smaller bars going for higher prices. Perhaps its the fashion.

More questions? I always get emails. How else can I keep ahead of the game?

In the email it said
10 oz of Coins & poured silver £240 Inc SD
Yes it was a good deal despite silver having been stomped on - i was too busy swimming at the pool to notice this one - it is getting warmer now and warm enough for me to swim.
