>give back my cheapies

You had 5,000 years. You can also git gud at finding below-spot silverware and jewelry or be a craigslist jew waiting for ignorant heirs to contact you through your buying ads, paying spot+premiums is 100% your own choice.

>This is your brain on retail. Take the scrap-pill anons. Sub 10% spot cheapies are out there.

Yep, kinda sad how some anons refuse to believe cheapies are real or that one can find them regularly: pearls before swine etc. Is your screengrab some Mexican sterling? I don't recognize the website so unless shipping costs were added on top of the $2 it looks like a sub-1% of spot turbocheapie provided it's all hallmarked right, congrats man I've only gotten a handful of pieces at under 1/100th of melt.

I found this on my snowy doorstep this morning, a very chunky Poole Sterling tea or coffee pot. Bought on eBay for $185.50 total with tax several days ago and assumed a weight of 28.4ozt of sterling and melt value at time of purchase of $611. Turns out it's actually a few ounces heavier at 949g total, let's say 945g of sterling (28.1 ozt fine silver) after subtracting the bone handle insulators, so that plus a higher spot price today gives us a current melt value of $682, bought for $6.60/ozt asw or about 27% of melt. A good deal but far from the best for us enlightened scrapchads. If I was stacking ASEs 28.1ozt would cost me $1,124, but don't worry bro premiums will be 200% in just 2 more weeks lmao. Now that I have it I can share the eBay link:

Everything was pretty straightforward but the actual weight, and that can be determined with reasonable accuracy for anything being sold if a pic of the markings is present, in this case by searching the web for "poole sterling georgian 1027" (1027 being the model number) and looking for other listings for the same item with the weight provided. Happy hunting anons, freedom from premiums and anxiety about spot price movement is very comfy and isn't hard to achieve.
