Hey folks.
Been awhile- how ya been?
Anyhow-
So, I've never been the "buy silver/gold" type of guy before. I was always more interested in acquiring "MORE" and "BETTER" gear. One can only have so much "gear". Now and then I find a cool little feature on something I really like that's new- but at this point, I know what works for me and I look at the giant stockpile of different knives , packs, and assorted gear I've bought , tested, used and discarded over the years...... It's more than I could possibly use- at this point, it's more of a PITA with the space it takes up in my place.
It got me thinking a lot more about the long term. I'm not getting any younger.
Now, I've always had long term planning.. Just how my mom raised me. I've got a nice annuity and pension already set up.... Perhaps I've just been thinking about it more lately because I've been feeling old lately.. My son's behind the wheel now and my lil princess is growin up so quick too!
Anyhow, I have been researching silver and gold, thinking about investing long term in something I can just drop in a safe...
I thought I had a good handle on the market due to all my extensive internet research... WOW! I was WRONG!!!!
I drove around today hitting up local coin dealers and bullion dealers...
Most of the prices were in line with what I was seeing online.. I could pay cash in person and save on shipping, so that was a bonus... Some were a tad higher, but no shipping.. But the real bonus came when I visited a few small local coin dealers... I was buying silver mint sets for $20-$30 that were selling online for $100 more on the low side. Even other "bigger" dealers close by had prices that were $50-$60 more.
Maybe I just got lucky.... Maybe I should be hitting up ALOT more small hobby shops!!
Just wante to give all you guys and gals a heads up!-- check out your small local coin shops for great investment opportunities!
