You guys are doing alot of business can you try to negotiate better pricing with your dealers, getting up to $2.70 over spot is kind of pushing it.
Remember when silver spot price was $5, and American Silver Eagles were $10-12 (100-150% over spot)? It's very possible that if the price of silver dropped to $12 the premiums would be $5+ over spot on them. We are updating the silver prices on a daily basis, though, to reflect the most accurate prices. On any given day, our prices may match, beat, or be higher than our competitors. We are also adding tiered pricing in the next week to two weeks as well!

Are you serious? I have been into bullion and coins for years and am always pleasantly surprised at how low Amagi's prices are. Have you ever been to a coin/bullion store? I would say the average price for an American Eagle is $5/spot. Currently, there is a run on 2013 Eagles, so shops are charging even more (I have seen spot + $10 believe it or not) but Amagi maintains their premium over spot. In regards to American Eagles, you are not dealing with a "dealer"-you are dealing with the Treasury of the government. They're not ones to do much haggling I know for a fact that the price they sell Eagles at is pretty significantly over spot. The fact that Amagi still has Eagles priced at $28.xx is amazing. Either their profits are razor thin, or they sell A LOT of volume (think about it: they don't make $28 when they sell you an Eagle...all they make is the difference between the price they paid for it and the price they charge). As far as some of the Private Mint pieces they have on their site, their prices are again extremely impressive. Check on eBay how much "Silver Bullet, Silver Shield" (Freedom Girl, Slave Queen) bullion sells for. And bear in mind that the high price people are willing to pay gives the mint leverage to charge dealers more money. BUT, Amagi's prices are $25.89 and $26.59, respectively. To sum it up, Amagi's prices and selection I have seen less than a handful of times ANYwhere. AND they take bitcoins! AND (I promise I'm not a spokesperson for them or anything lol) their customer service, shipping times, etc are great. I don't buy much silver on the internet, but when I do its always through Amagi (unless I'm looking for a specific piece).

You don't know what you are talking about. $2.70 over spot is very good. APMEX is selling boxes of 500 ASEs for *minimum* $3.99 over spot.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.
"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.
There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

Yes, we would very much like to! With the turmoil in the markets we are releasing new products much slower and trying to get caught up on all the silver delays. We do have a product suggestion list. The more suggestions customers make for certain products, the higher they get pushed up on the list and offered quicker. So are there any specific products, denominations, mints that you are interested in?

Interested in the smaller-than-1oz American Gold Eagles. The US Mint has stopped producing the fractional rounds. When the Mint begins producing them again we will offer them again. PRODUCT UPDATE: Today we received several thousand ounces of silver available for IMMEDIATE SHIPPING! We expect all the silver to be gone by the end of the week, if not sooner, due to the current silver product shortages. The silver rounds available for immediate shipping are: 1 ounce silver Golden State Mint bars 1 ounce silver Buffalo 1 ounce silver Incuse 1/10 ozt silver Walking Liberty 1/10 ozt silver Buffalo 1/10 ozt silver Incuse You can find them here: http://www.amagimetals.com/silver/fractional-mix/1-10-troy-ounce.htmland here: http://www.amagimetals.com/silver.html?cat=12&mint=9

Between 4-6 weeks. The mint is still halting sales for periods of time on them. We do expect that to change in the next 3 months, where there may even be an oversupply of them. Who knows with the way markets are going right now, though.

The US Mint has stopped producing the fractional rounds. When the Mint begins producing them again we will offer them again. I didn't realize that, thank you. Personally I'm more into the sovereign, legal tender gold/silver rounds. Some silver Kookaburras, Libertads, or Fuji Takus would be awesome. Thanks again for providing a great service. I've made a few small purchases from you guys & have been very pleased.

What's the delay for Mulligan rounds?
Sorry we missed this! The delay is about 3-4 weeks. Amagi Metals is in the news about bitcoins! http://www.prweb.com/releases/bitcoin_dealer/Amagi_Metals/prweb10783265.htmAlthough the press release is not 100% correct, we are not a bitcoin dealer, we only accept bitcoins!

Is the checkout page malformed for anyone else? I tried two browsers. If anything is in the cart and I try to check out, the whole page is shifted to the left and I cannot fill in any shipping/billing details.

We are working on getting this fixed. It looks as if it is a cache problem. If you refresh your browser history it will fix it, but we don't want this to happen at all!

Are the delays from mint capacity issues or from problems obtaining the silver to begin with?

Great question! It's a product shortage issue more than a silver shortage problem. There are plenty of large (1 lb, 1kg, 400 ounce, etc.) silver and gold bars and industrial gold/silver (shot) available because large institutions are selling them off. However consumer products, coins and bullion that individuals purchase, are tough to come by. We deal with several mints and some of them have been working 12+ hours per day, 7 days a week to get products to dealers and they still have delays of 6+ weeks, or have stopped sales to catch up on production.

Have you considered selling large bars that can be kept in stock? For many people a blend of coins and bars is a good way to go and I don't recall anything over 10oz on the site.
I'd be interested in orders of 50 or 100oz bars if I could pay in bitcoin and get them in hand sooner.

Amagimetals prices are ok, but it looks like we still have to pay 5-10% premium to buy PM with "digital gold" over "worthless fiat" and credit cards. https://comparesilverprices.com/http://comparegoldprices.com/I don't understand why you can't beat all these dealers, given the Bitcoin transaction costs. Is it just because you buy from them at retail, and sell to us for bitcoin?
