Amagi Metals - Best Prices of Gold & Silver for Bitcoins

[djdollabill]

How much more does Amagi charge for BTC transactions vs USD?  They are marking up a Krugerrand about $86 over spot, which is a little steep, but is there a further markup for using bitcoin to pay?

[notserp]

2.50 was my charge

Looks like you are much faster replying in this thread than through email

Can I order a gold eagle round but request that, if at all available, I get coins from a specific set of years with the coins being eagles, maples or krugs, in that order of preference? I know the eagles are the most expensive but I'll gladly pay the eagle premium for a krug if I can get the years I'm searching for.

Also, are you going to lower the BitPay processing fee for BTC?

And finally, if you need help getting BTC prices in your site I'll be glad to oblige. My time is short to non-existant but as a prospective client this is something I'd like to see and am willing to help you get it going

@TheButterZone - First Class Mail can be tracked domestically and as of January 27th, 2013 to Canada only. Unfortunately they cannot be tracked to any other country.

@dirtycat - Unless APMEX added a shipping option for much smaller purchases, their shipping is generally $19.95 or $24.95 per order.

@djdollabill & nelisky - We dropped our bitcoin processing fees by 20% about a week ago when BitPay let us know that fees were going down. Initially it was 2.69%, then 2.4%, and now 2%. In the last 25 days we have done about $110,000 in bitcoin sales, which is 5-10% of BitPay's volume. If we can continue getting bitcoin sales we can work on getting those fees reduced!

@notserp - We never charged a fee of 2.5%, it was most likely 2.4%

@nelisky - Sorry for not responding to your email yet. We are trying to look for the years you requested!

Thanks for all the questions everyone!

Thanks for the reply!

My note about the fees was triggered by the non-trivial amount by which bitpay reduced them to merchants, to 0.99%. If I understand your reply correctly you have reduced your fees ahead of time and will not sync them with what bitpay is currently charging until you recovered the overhead you have paid? the 1% less in fees really makes a difference to me and if you are going to eventually lower the fees to match bitpay I'll likely wait (and my btc may be worth more by then ) but if you don't have plans to do so soon I'll just go ahead and buy now (because my BTC may be worth less later )

Anyway, waiting eagerly for your response on the years! That is not a deal breaker though, I'm not a collector wanting those years specifically (it's more of a keepsake thing), so if finding those specific years takes multiple days just let me know, I'll likely order as soon as I have your position on the fees.

BitPay has two fees that are added together. One has always been 0.99%, the other began at 1.7% (a total of 2.69%) and has now dropped to 0.99% (a total of about 2%).

Oh, I did not know this, sorry about it. Ok, in that case I'm just waiting on the reply to my email

And, of course, thank you for your continued patience...

Trying to get a rush shipment put together, is this something you can help me with?  I have someone local that will buy silver  coins from me for cash for close to spot so its an easy way for me to cash out for the electric bill and such.  However the order I placed with another seller last week I got the run around now so I'm not in a urgent situation.  USPS Priority or if we can get Overnight/Exrpess shipping done fro around 25-30 I would be willing to foot the bill for it.  I'm looking for at least 7 Maple Leafs, possibly one or two more.

Thanks!

Processing is the order status right before Shipping. We need more information than a date as we receive many orders every day.

We are doing another silver giveaway on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AmagiMetals

We're closing in on the $200,000 in total bitcoin sales pretty fast. As this is becoming a small, but fast growing part of our overall sales, we may be hiring someone soon just to handle bitcoin sales and communicate with the bitcoin community!

Our website will also have the ability to show all prices in bitcoins pretty soon as well. Stay tuned for more updates.

I cant believe how awesome this transaction went, and we are only half way done

I can promise I wont be ordering gold or silver from anyone else unless I stumble on some awesome deal I can't refuse!  This will definitely be atleast a monthly if not bimonthly relationship!  So excited to find a business who is so professional and easy to deal with.  Amagi Metals is a true gem in the bitcoin world!

Now, if I could just nudge you guys to start taking some Litecoins!  Pretty please!

Ordered some silver on monday just arrived today.
Just looked them over and I am pleased.

Much faster shipping than other unnamed competitors.

I hope you stick around for a long while because I will be doing business with you from now on.

Just placed my first order. So glad to see that you have the 1 gram gold Pamps! I am sure I will be back to order more. Checkout on website was quick and painless with bitpay built in..nice!

Just got an order I placed on Sunday. I'm impressed with how little time to process and send the order and the coins came in perfect condition. My one complain would be that after the initial email confirming the order there was no communication, mainly there was no email confirming that the order had shipped leaving me to go to the site, find the right page, and put in the order number (I didn't create an account for the order) to find the tracking info.  I will definitely be using Amagi again though.

Thank you for the feedback! We use a shipping manager program that uploads all tracking information to our website. However the program is also supposed to send out an email when your order ships and include the tracking number.

For some reason this is not happening and we are working to fix it so that customers receive shipping information as soon as they ship.
