Crazy or Normal?

[jkng]

I had some crh finds that I wanted to sell. I wanted to get a silver 1 oz bar and I needed 20$ more. I went to a silver buying place and brought 1 1957 quarter and 2 1964 halves. They said they can buy the quarter but not the halves. (I called ahead and they said they would buy silver halves). And they had a 10$ minimum so they said the quarter is too small.
I thought they meant the quarter was $5 and I need at least 2. So I went home (I rode my bike there) and got 4 silver quarters. I called and they offered me $6 for the 4 silver quarters!!!!!!!!!! That was it! My mom told me when she sold her silver she didn't even get half of spot. I didn't really believe her since I heard APMEX buys for 93-94% of spot. I ended up not selling it of course. So I have 2 questions.

1) Is this a normal price when selling silver?

2)What can an 11 year old do to earn money? (No snow here, Lives in an apartment so no lawns)

I really want a silver 1 oz bar! I would do almost anything! Thanks for reading!

I'd charge at least $5. And note that they have to supply the vacuum.

You should also demand milk and cookie / smoke breaks.

Go to all of your local banks and tell them you will search through all of their coins and replace the old ones with newer and shinier ones for a nominal fee.

Was the meme needed?

When I was your age, I made decent money fur-trapping.

Me too. God I miss those days, life was so simple and carefree.
