Hiya. I'm new here. I guess you'd call me a stacker. I've been listening to Peter Schiff and Mike Maloney for years. I like silver, but not so much the storage fees, so I intend to be shopping around on here. I'm probably most interested in 1oz silver britannias.

I'm also pleased to see a busy marketplace with competitive prices here. Initially, I'm interested as a buyer, but the notion of trading for profit sparks a curiosity in me. How are these coins sourced for lower margins? Or is that a closely guarded secret?

I think generally they are sourced for lower prices by buying them from other forum members who also bought them for low prices. But of course you will have the business sellers who will get monster boxes direct and cheap, or buy gold at spot. But the prices are still a far sight better than dealer prices even on the normal things floating around.

Welcome :)

In my neanderthal understanding, it's all a cycle, I buy tomorrow what someone else bought six months ago at a cheaper spot price. 

Then there's sellers who need money quickly, so prepared to sell at cost or slight loss.

Then there's dealers who buy in bulk and can get an excellent price. 

Welcome aboard. 

I like to buy the pre-dip dip
