JMBullion or APMEX? Who to choose.....

in steemsilvergold •  7 years ago  (edited)

So i'm stuck between making an order between JMB and APMEX.....

I want about 40 troy OZ's, if I go through JMB I would buy 30 SilverTowne bars and the 10OZ Silver tube starter;

If i went with APMEX i would order 30 secondary market bars and 10 OZ of Silver shot;

JMB would total up to about $730
APMEX would total up to around $710

WIth JMB I would only be getting bars and rounds, with APMEX I would only get bars but also some Shot if I wanted to try my hand at pouring. (Which i really want to try)

So I leave it up to you all to help me decide, what would be the Pro's and the Con's of either side?

Dangit, Dark!
SDBullion.com FTW!!!
But yes they do charge shipping. $7.77 FLAT RATE if you buy 1 ozT or 1000 ozT. Or more ;)
SDBullion has the generic Buffalo Rounds on sale occasionally for 39¢ over spot which is a great price! They also have free shipping promos sometimes.

Not a bad shipping cost, with flat rate its better to buy in bulk.... Thanks @underground

You have already answered your question. You want to try your hand at pouring and the price is $20 below. Apmex !

But I would try melting rounds, and @silversupplement has given me plenty of research in his comment

I would at least check with sdbullion.com

GOOD CALL! $22 cheaper than APMEX

But...... it would be all 40 OZ in bars......

I think SD Bullion charges shipping.

Between the 2, I'd go with apmex, and save the $20 or add another ounce bar! So choosing between 40 oz or 41 oz is what it comes down to for me... But buy whatever floats yer goat dude!

When it all comes down to it go with the most ounces per Dollar of FIAT your are Spending..................

In that case looks like i would have to go with sdbullion

I like an order from both but $20 difference is another ounce of silver in my book. Apmex wins

Why not just find a local shop to buy from? Most shops around me will match any price of the online stores. Just a thought.

I can see monday if my LCS will match prices, but he is a small shop....

Not sure of your location but I find some good deals on Craigslist also. Even stuff under spot. Most take them to the coin shop/pawn shop and don't get offered full price and get discouraged.

I have done a lot of surfing Craigslist, nothing around me within 100 miles worth it :-(

Between those two I would choose the APMEX order due to the possibility of getting older bars that may have a premium on them, and skip the shot. SDBullion has shipping charges. Check out bullionexchanges.com too

Hmmmm thanks @silversupplement

Can also check monarchpreciousmetals.com Goldeneaglecoin.com Providentmetals.com boldpreciousmetals.com silvergoldbull and silvertowne

LOL, now I really have to research. Thanks for the info

How likely are you to actually pour? Have you done any of the silver at spot deals? There are a few of them. You could get the JM Bullion one, the 10 ounce bar at Silver Gold Bull, and I've read about another place called Bold Precious Metals that has some silver at spot deals.

I REALLY want to try my hand at it, will be starting off small time, MAP gas it up. But I also want to be able to have those rounds for down the line, when prices are up and I need to sell.

Do you care about what the rounds bars look like? These generic Silvertowne rounds are cheaper than either one you have in your screenprints:

I like the fact of the randon kinds in some of the buys, but not stuck on getting different kinds
