<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 11047492, member: 10944&quot;]It is 1/5, 1/10, or 1/20 gold after all. I guess it could be easy to overlook that. With prices so high it does get surprising what a little bit of metal can be worth. I looked at what gram of silver was worth recently and if shocked me. When I was first buying it I wouldn’t pay over 50 cents per gram. </p><p><br /></p><p>My metal value story…I got taken recently on eBay due to the sharp uptick in silver. It shot up going into Labor Day weekend and I didn’t notice. Someone sniped one of my big silver listings. Even after fees I’ll clear over 500 in profit because I bought well and long time ago but it stung big time. I sat on it until the day I was required to ship and mulled over what to do. I considered cancelling the sale. I kind of despise the predatory practice of hunting metal listings for folks that haven’t quickly reacted to sharp upticks in spot price. I find it a bit slimy and no one likes getting taken. As I sat mulling (and stewing) spot price continued to creep up another dollar or so. I was losing a couple hundred dollars off what I could take it and scrap it for myself. I also hate that it was going to get scrapped in the first place as it was a nice group of things. I had initially priced it where a scrapper couldn’t buy it and profit. Eventually I decided to just take the L and avoid the negative feedback but it really hurt. If I hadn’t already gotten a couple preposterous negatives this year I probably would have voided it. I know one should honor their sales typically but I wouldn’t have felt too bad about cancelling this one. What are thoughts on this? Fair game, or predatory, or both?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
