Amagi Metals has been accepting Bitcoin for months now on gold, silver, and copper, just fyi.  You're not the first, unless you define full service differently.  There's also Coinabul.

That said, competition in this space is always welcome!

A few thoughts/comments from a quick browse of the site:

- Item descriptions are basically a repeat of the title, not an actual description.  "Morgan & Peace Dollars" is the title repeated in the description section - what years are you shipping, what condition, etc?
- Your blog has nothing on it.
- Why is a silver libertad coin 2,589.44?  Am I missing something really, really important about this, perhaps it being a box of 100?
- Silver Canadian Maple Box (500): $1,392,640.00  Huh?
- $17 flat shipping for any order under $5000?  Really?
- Your "About Us" page has basically no details.  Where are you located? Do you have a customer service #?
- "International Shipping: Detailed information goes here."  Uh huh.
- For a bitcoin focused dealer, you don't show prices in bitcoin.  Nor do you show the total in bitcoin until the checkout page.
- Literally the only references to "agora commodities" I find on Google are your store and this thread.

You only registered a company domain for a year?  Such great faith in your operations.

Honestly, you come across as a scam operation.  I'm not saying you are or aren't, but it /looks and feels/ like a scam.  You don't have any reversible payment methods supported, you have a brand new domain and at least claim to have a massive amount of metal in stock, prices are somewhat creative, and for being a bitcoin-centered merchant, you don't show prices in bitcoin.  You also make a claim to be the "first," which is something you very clearly aren't.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to be spending any money with you right now.  I'll let someone else take that risk.

//EDIT:
Unless you're willing to escrow for the first few orders, after providing photographic proof that you actually have anything in stock.

If you can provide a photo of https://agoracommodities.com/product/10-oz-silver-bar-new/ with your username, the date, and the phrase "The wild dolphins frolic at dawn," I will order one from you.

Fair enough.

The corporation I chair, VELDT LLC used to DBA as www.goldsilverbitcoin.com but the owner of that site and VELDT LLC decided to go their separate ways. If anyone here has ordered from Gold Silver Bitcoin prior to June 14th then they can comment as to my service and trustworthiness.

Amagi Metals is great! I think they have the trust and confidence of the community of Bitcoin which is well deserved. One of the comments that members have posted about them is that they want to see them sell the platinum group metals which you will see that I and every other traditional bullion dealer offer. Coinabul and Bitcoincommodities also do not offer metals from this group.

The morgan & peace dollars are in AU condition and are not key dates. Though you can contact us if you wish to request a certain grade and year.

Because the site is new there are no blogs yet. I apologize

I will fix the discrepancies in the products that you found.

Yes Flat rate shipping is $17 for orders over $5000. U.S domestic only.

Our customer service number is  (877) 576-7342 which can be found under "call us" in the footer.

I appreciate you pointing out what I need to work on. I will be making the changes that you suggested.

[Bitweasil]

Good to know.  A bit of history on the site may be worth considering, since right now it appears to be a brand new retailer coming from nothing, which does not lead to any level of trust due to the number of very similar scam sites that have been making their rounds for several years.

Do you actually have inventory in stock, or are you obtaining it as needed with orders placed?  And what is the expected "time to ship" after an order has been placed?

[Veldt Gold]

Bitweasil,



I do have products in stock but it changes rapidly. Especially on a drop like today. For instance, I just received silver maple leaves last week after a 6 weeks delay. They are now sold out and there will be six more weeks till delivery. I will always fill the order though. Even if it takes a bit.

Hope the photo suffices.

It does.  Order placed, as promised.  I haven't received a confirmation email yet, though - you may want to check outbound mail on your server.

I will update this thread when I receive the order.

I have ordered from Joseph at least five times and so have a few of my friends.  He is SOLID to deal with and very professional.  His e-mails and communication via phone is always prompt.  I can not say enough good things about the business he does trading metals for BTC.  Every ounce of gold or silver I have gotten from him has been exactly as ordered.

Status on stock availability might be another good addition to the product descriptions. I know some times I won't solicit dealers because of the absence of this information.

[Veldt Gold]

We understand about stock availability but the supply is changing so rapidly it is not a possibility right now. When metal prices stabilize then our system will reflect an accurate inventory. You can always call or send us an email before you order and we can let you know if the product is live or delayed.

I have just received my order from Agora Commodities and I am very happy with their service. Their selection is great and they actually had the items I wanted in stock unlike other bullion dealers with their crazy back orders.

Highly recommended company! I will be buying from them again soon!

Glad to hear it!  We believe in treating our customers the way that we would like to be treated.

That being said, Agora Commodities (www.agoracommodities.com) is proud to announce that is now utilizes encrypted email exclusively to communicate with our customers.

In light is of recent news it is clear that there is not a more precious commodity than your privacy.

We hope that you will continue to use Agora Commodities to preserve and protect your wealth and future.

My order arrived as advertised.  Seems legit to me!  Thanks!

Questions for Agora Commodities re: International shipping "Detailed information goes here..."

Do you ship to Canada?
Are there any duties or import tax?
Have you had any prior experience shipping to Canada and if so, what problems or set-backs have you run into?

Thanks from a Canadian silver bug

When ordering it is important that you stick to the .999 products as Canada does not charge a tax on bullion minted to this refining standard. Anything less and you would be required to pay a 13% tax.

We have shipped to Canada. We ship all international orders with USPS registered mail and have never had an issue when items are shipped with this service.

Detailed international shipping information will be up shortly

Amagi Metals claims to be cheaper than you guys, which they're not on many products. One example I can bring up right now are 1oz Canadian Maples - Amagi price $1,341.04, your price $1,338.38. This is great!

But would you price match and/or beat other bullion dealers' prices if I was to find something I need cheaper but still wanted to do business with you?

Did you calculate in the flat $17 shipping Agora charges?

//EDIT: For one Maple, shipped, Agora is 1,355.34 and Amagi is 1,353.63.  Close enough to not really make a difference.

Another interesting bullion dealer.  Waiting for more reviews.

I made a purchase susbtantial enough to not worry about shipping costs. I also stay away from places that sell silver in 1 gram quantities. It doesn't make sense to me.

Samples?


You should get 1g Silver nuggets or bars

I really don't need samples of silver. Especially at robbing prices when you calculate their price per oz.
