DWS, I'm in for the GML group buy as well. The spot is $1440 CDN right now. I'm in for a couple or more if it drops below 1400. Below 1350 is even better. May be interested in the SMLs as well if the spot drops below 22.

Just for the record...The $50 is not my cost.

RC: Wow APMEX dropped their price another $5 today, was $45 last night...but even then its not cheaper...

CAD $ Price = $1500 ($1499.91)
CAD $ Spot = $1440

Premium = $60, they can claim $40 all they want, but charging higher spot doesn't make it true.

Plus shipping = ~$40

Say you buy 10...$4 per oz...Final premium per oz = $64.


Edit:
Spot per APMEX: $1,457.38
Spot per Kitco: $1440.93

I would most likely still go with Silver Gold Bull regardless if it is the cheapest or not at these low low rates (and already higher premiums) the difference of premiums does not matter much unless your looking to resell at higher prices like some of us.

I should mention I go with them due to being a Canadian company and all the fees are included right away instead of waiting for check out (for me) if your buying under X amount you got to add shipping fee (meh). It really is not woth my time with apmex to deal with issues when the package comes across the boarder which has happen to people I deal with and RFD alike.
Warning: Anything I write is to the best of my knowledge, I may be wrong about things, I may have a different thought on things than yourself and I do not always follow the herd. I am also a RFD personal finance addict.

I too prefer SGB.... I haven't bought a lot of silver. But in my limited experience with 3 or 4 dealers, I feel comfortable dealing with Silver Gold Bull.
Then again, SGB is second only to fellow RFD sellers..

I currently live 5 minutes from the border...can hop across anytime...but too brown to pay the $3.75 toll for entry to Canada everytime...-_-

Even though I'd probably save $20 on a full tank of gas alone haha
