I ran two ads in two different papers for 2 weeks, and I eneded up getting ONE call..........pretty sad. The cost of the ads put me in the hole. I think craig's list works way better, and it is freee!

Yep, lots of competition from what I've seen on CL, 11 X face offered in my area, then, where are you going to meet for the sale? In puuubliiic?, your home address? FFD

Anyone paying 11X face for junk silver is not getting a good deal in my opinioin. That is almost a dollar over spot per half dollar coin. At that price you can get a better deal on .999 bullion.

If you are gonna buy from joe public better to offer a deal where you, the buyer, comes out way ahead.

That's why you will never get any calls.....the person offering 11 X face is a collector, and will usually outbid everyone. I'm a collector also and might go to 11 times face.
