I would love to buy gold right now but thanks to the dipshit in office I am unable to drop that kind of money. What I have worked into my budget is buying silver. This is something I plan on doing for the rest of my life. My goal is to purchase at least $100 of silver every month. I just did so from SDBullion and got myself three 1oz silver bars.
My question, for those of you that have already been investing into precious metals for a while, what is the best bang for my buck? What weights do you recommend? What sellers do you recommend? Is it better for my to keep buying 1oz bars each month or set aside money each month until I have enough to get a 5oz or a 10oz bar?
I just bought from them 3 weeks ago. They forgot to package 2 coins. I called customer service and they checked their tapes, found out they messed up and shipped what was owed. I still recommend them. I like sdbullion more but both r great.
yes, I have had a problem with an order as well and they fixed it (JMB), I have order probably 40-50 times from them. I also like SDB, I have only ordered a couple times from them. I think their shipping is a little slower, but nicely packaged and they have some good deals.
The only one I will stay away from is APMEX. I made a couple orders from them, specialty stuff. Then someone hacked my account and purchased several thousand dollars worth of stuff, changed my mailing address. Then they set up some kind of auto-mailer that flooded my email address with spam (like thousands of emails a day - I am still getting signed up to mailing lists a couple years later!) so I wouldn't see the apmex order email. Luckily I saw it happen early enough that I saw the apmex email. Within an hour or two of the order being placed, I contacted their customer service to stop the transaction and alert them that is was fraudulent. No response. I called the next day and the guy on the phone said he would let the fraud department know.... they never canceled the order and TOOK THE MONEY OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT!!! I had to call my bank and stop the transaction. I stopped any future transactions with apmex through my bank. APMEX never contacted me, never responded. Just kept sending me automatic emails that there was a problem with my payment. I could not believe that they still charged my account and were going to send out thousands of dollars of PMs to a different state. Never again.
Horrible. Its even worse that you had to take the extra step of stop payment. Online is more a curse then a benefit sometimes.
