I just checked big online retailers and priced similar to them. At time of writing, spot is $20.31 USD. The generics are $22 each, Crocodiles are $27 each, Philharmonics are $26 each, and the year of the horse bars are $220 or $22/oz. If spot price jumps or drops $1/oz I'll change the prices of course.

I'll take one generic will you use trusted on site escrow or send first and I/escrow wouldn't release payment until I confirm its real?

Happy to use escrow, pmed. I don't understand why anyone would need to use an escrow dealing with you. They should send first.

Past reputation and the fact that I'm a global moderator here has little to do with trustworthiness. I highly advocate the use of the escrow system, so I'm happy to offer it for any trades/sales I do. It is in the spirit of Crypto to not trust a screen name. While I personally wouldn't scam anyone, there is no reason for anyone to have blind faith in me.

Would you consider selling some of your silver at spot?

I hope it never will be hacked. Quick way to do a double check is to check one's trust page. If their password has been changed recently it will say so in red letters. Its not a bad habit to at least check that before doing a deal with someone. I'm not interested in selling at spot, sorry. I have local dealers who will pay spot to spot +$1 for generics. I'm trying to sell my generics for spot +$1.50-2.00 depending on how the spot price is fluctuating. I currently have them listed at $22/oz for the generic 1 oz and 10 oz bars. $27 for the crocs (compare to $35 at APMEX) and $26 for the Philharmonics. Apparently 2014 was one of the lowest if not the lowest mintage for philharmonics, so they hold a bit more premium than regular Eagles/Maples. Compare my pricing to that of APMEX or JMBullion or any of the other large dealers, and you will see that they are similar, however my turn around time and customer service is much better. Every order I've ever made from APMEX didn't ship for at a minimum of a week, two weeks wasn't uncommon. JMBullion is a bit better, but 4 days to a week isn't uncommon either. All of that said, I'm considering listing more of my stash. I've got a lot more smaller increment stuff and graded things that I may let go of.

Typically its $6 for shipping via small flate rate box. Thats priority (2 day) shipping with tracking number. I'd cover the shipping cost for the roll of crocs + a horse bar though.

Thanks, I'm definitely interested. Think I'm gonna wait a day or five and see what BTC (and silver spot price) do, make sure I have money to rebuy BTC I spend, etc. Hopefully you don't sell everything by next Monday... Do you have any concerns about sending 2+ lbs of silver worth over $800 in a flat rate parcel box? Is insurance possible or a good idea?

I've shipped and received a lot of packages of metals, and never had any sort of issue. I typically just ship with Tracking and Signature confirmation if people want it, but I'm sure insurance of at least the spot value of the metal can be done as well. When dealing with anything of value, always ship via USPS. Since they are a branch of the government, if a package goes missing, there is actually a federal investigation. It greatly discourages theft and such, and misplaced packages are very very uncommon for similar reasons. The worst I've ever had was something that looped a few times through the same sorting facility, but that was resolved with a call. UPS and Fedex, if an employee steals a package and is caught, its up to the company to decide how its handled.

Sorry, I don't have Rhodium nor do I buy it. If I'm not mistaken, Rhodium is difficult to work, so the premium on bars/rounds is high. I don't have an issue buying gold/silver with a premium, because I know I'll always be able to get that premium back when I go to sell. Rhodium is a bit more complicated.

Understood. Just from reading JM market perspectives it looks like three-way catalysts will be enriched with Rh in 2017, which will cause it price up. I do not expect $3000 per once as it was 10 years ago, but $1500 easily Good luck with your rounds!

Im even willing to send first because I see no need to pay someone to escrow this deal. Let me know.

You sure you don't want to reconsider? I am sure. Thanks again for the offer though. As I said, I can get between spot and spot +1 at my local dealer, and walk out with cash in hand, not worrying about whether a package is going to get stolen/lost etc. I'm pretty firm on my pricing unless someone wanted to buy large quantities. The problem with pricing things fairly to begin with, is you have no wiggle room when people want to negotiate. Maybe next time I sell my silver I'll start it higher so people can negotiate me down. Let me know if you want to do that
