Here are my best purchases during 2015 solely based
on percentage of scrap VALUE according to spot price on purchase date.
It neither includes any collector value nor additional items that may have been
purchased in a given lot that are not precious metals.
All of these prices were asking or auction win prices that
were beyond my control. I don't lowball people like most pawn shops and others who
offer pennies on the dollar, a dishonest and unethical practice that is
the standard business model.
Had these sellers
approached me directly some could have gotten thousands of dollars more
and enjoyed the experience to boot. Further, they would not pay commission fees,
struggle with researching and listing, trolls and unhappy buyers, shipping damage,
chargebacks, disputed transactions, fake payments, etc.
It is more relaxing and lucrative to do it my way so skip the internet
auction and selling sites, bypass the pawn shops,
ignore the resale and consignment shops, and talk with me!
