Title: Possible I could sell these metals in one 'variety pack'?

From left to right:

Row 1: One Half Pound of Copper, 5 Troy Ounces .999 Silver, One Troy Ounce .999 Zinc, One Troy Ounce .999 Lead

Row 2: 2 x One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Aluminum, Ten Troy Ounces .999 Fine Titanium, 2 x One Troy Ounce .999 Brass, 3 x One Gram .999 Silver.

Cards on the bottom: 2 x 0.05 Gram of .999 Gold (embedded in a card), 1 Gram .999 Silver

Bill of sale available for all of these. Just wondering how possible it would be to sell this all in one go just to get rid of it? If so, what would be a fair price?


Also if anyone happened to throw me an offer, I'd certainly take it into consideration ;)


Thanks!

Yes of cause is it possible to sell it, if the price is right.

The problem from a buyer perspective is to verify that the bars are not fakes.
And since the buyer cannot "ask where you got it from", then will I presume you do not hold any certificates or receipts.
This will most likely lead to, that each of the larger bars need to be drilled and tested to verify the metal purity.

I'm sure I can come up with a receipt. I don't currently have one but I do know where they were purchased, it's just a matter of revisiting the website to see If I can come up with a purchase list.


Since I know for a fact they are real, any idea on a good price point for the lot? (Obviously I'd have to prove the legitimacy of these before I could officially sell)


EDIT: So far found where I bought the 5 OZ Silver bar from (SilverTowne). Retrieved an old account which led to a bill of sale. Still working on locating where I purchased the others.

EDIT EDIT: Found a bill of sale for the rest :D


Thanks!

There are many people in this forum interested in metals.
The silver and gold should go pretty fast for at least spot price.

If you can't sell it as a lot, then would I recommend that you split it up and sell one-by-one.

But it all comes down to if the buyer is confident that they are real.
Offering escrow would also help, use one of the known guys here.

Good luck with the sale :)

Thanks buddy!

Well as for the legitimacy of these, I can provide bills of sale from reputable online vendors, so hopefully that will be enough for a buyer, as I am unsure what else I could do.

And I'd absolutely do escrow. I want the buyer to feel as comfortable as possible so that surely is not a problem.



Take care!

Hmmm, they look nice, especially those TPB ones. I'm sure that I can't pay for the whole lot, but if you ever decide to sell the TPB ones, just know that I'm interested ;)

Yes I absolutely agree.
The whole concept of VAT on precious metals is outrages.

Shipping from Washington DC, USA.

And for the stupidest question of the year I bet, what does 'TPB' stand for? :( Am I having a brain fart at the obvious?

This is indeed what I meant. They look like the logo that "The Pirate Bay" uses (TPB for short).

Have you got a ball park figure on what you would take?

Not too sure, was really looking to see what offers may have been made.

I'll go through and get the value of each of these so I have somewhat of an idea, then i'll post a figure.
