We all know scrap silver has lots of value but right now it is a little hard to come by. Often We will see things like silver plated items for very cheap, and wish they were even worth 200x less then silver, because you would still be making a profit. Well, those metals are worth just that.
You see, immitation silver is almost always a copper alloy. Brass right now is about 2 dollars a pound. Copper is about .50 per pound, and nickel is per pound. This means that the stuff most people think is junk is, in all actuallity, a very hot commodity. The price of copper has skyrocketed up to th eprice of .50 per pound in th epast few months and the value many other scrap metals is suspected to follow suit. Brass, bronze, ect. Even steel is up to 0 per gross ton.
Above, are the scrap metal prices, almost all base scrap metal prices, but when you buy something that is silver plated, it is usually one of the above metals alloys together. Scrap silver plate, and silver plated recycling, junk salvage value is read about at How To Scrap Silver Plate and Salvage Old Plated Silver.
In general, metals like cupronickel, nickel, copper, zink, and real silver are alloyed in fake silver to give the effect of being real silver. Your job as a scrapper is to find the value in metals other people dont have any idea what to do with.
If you are a scrapper, you can sell any type of cupronickel as scrap or brass, easily. Almost all silver plate is silver plated brass of some type. Its just the breass is a nickel copper alloy, or a nickel copper zinc alloy. The next thing to look out for is imitation silver; you know, the stuff tht doesn't have any type of silver plated onto it, but is just shiney and silver colored?
If you have never sold scrap metal before in your entire life, I suggest you learn more about How To Scrap Metal here. And, also, do not forget that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Good Luck Scrapping!

QUESTION:
How do you sell silver at spot price (or close to it)?
I have lots of silver coins I have been trying to sell. I have seen that silver is close to /oz. but most people want to pay significantly lower. Wheres the best place to sell, or how do i get the best price?-
ANSWER:
Best bet is to try a local coin shop. You will not get spot price as the shop cannot resell immediately at spot. My guess is that .50 under spot is about the best you can expect.After shipping and insurance cost, I doubt that you would do better on ebay (or elsewhere). Better to get paid right away if you like today's price.

QUESTION:
where can I sell my silver coins?
I have a bunch of non-collectible silver coins and I want to sell them but not to one of the places like cash4gold. How do you find a reputable company to sell silver to?-
ANSWER:
While all the answers so far are good (with the possible exception of Steve Erkel, hopefully), you should definitely make a trip to all of them and see who is giving the best price. Also look for people who make custom jewelry. They may give a slightly higher price than someone who is going to buy it and sell it for a profit to someone else who is hoping to make a profit. Remember that most coins are not the 99.99% silver ones, and the extra non-silver component is not generally paid for.If you can melt them and make silver bullets, maybe there is a market for that...

QUESTION:
How to Sell Silver Spoons?
I recently found some silver spoons.
Is there a website on how to grade the silver?
How would I sell them and for what price?
I know they're not coin silver, and they are actual silver.
( 1847 Rogers and 1 Rogers and Sons)
What would be a good price to sell them for?
Should I clean them or leave them as is.-
ANSWER:
Go onto Ebay and look other spoons of the same grade and age and see what they are selling for, or go to a dealer you feel you can trust and ask for a valuation. Rember the cost of silver is rising like gold, so don't be talked into parting with them until you're absolutely sure you're getting the best deal.

QUESTION:
No experience selling silver bullion, I want to sell but how much to ask?
I've run into some money problems and I've collected Silver Bullion for times like these. I've decided to sell 60 silver rounds and I want to sell them to someone local (a dealer maybe), I called one dealer and he asked me "how much do you want to sell them for?" I told him I'd like Spot (market) price. He said he'd buy them for market price. I was wondering if anyone with more experience selling silver bullion knows if I made a mistake saying market price? should I have said a premium say of a dollar over market price? I have no experience selling silver.-
ANSWER:
you sell for spot and he resells at a premium because of the designs on the things or he buys at spot, holds it, and then resells at spot.

QUESTION:
Where can you SELL silver at actual spot price? Coin dealers will sell but when the price goes up (say 4xs) ?
coin dealers are willing to sell you Silver Eagles at when spot is but if spot goes to 0 where are you going to sell them? i overheard the coin dealer offering to buy a Eagle at when spot was . So ok they make a profit - but if it goes way up and I want to sell several thousand dollars worth why should they buy it? I mean I am a store owner, I sell a product, I would just sit out the highs...I mean why would i buy your silver coin at spot and tie up my money (say ,000 +) to wait to sell it just to make or so dollars per sale - I mean geez how long would that take? Would I really want to tie up my money like that? I don't know - I'm new at this - I don't get what I am going to do with silver eagles when I feel it time to exit the market?-
ANSWER:
Large dealers are brokers. They turn a profit by trading, just like a stockbroker. They will buy at spot less commission to have inventory to sell at spot plus commission. No inventory, no commission. ALWAYS take possession yourself of your coins and use your own vault, safe deposit box, etc. Years ago a bullion broker charged to store the gold for people and sold it in a ponzi type scheme. People lost everything.

QUESTION:
How Much Would This Sterling Silver Sell For?
Ok well I am looking to sell this set of sterling silver I have but I really have no idea how much to sell it for.It will be going on ebay and this is the information I have collected so far,
It is monogrammed and judging by the monograms this set was manufactured in 1852-1865.
It is a 55 piece set and was made by Gorham Sterling.
Please serious answers only!
The design type is "White Paisley"-
ANSWER:
Definitely, i will try my best for a serious answer:I wouldn't quote a price myself, because i would rather leave that up to you.
I came across this site which happened to list a few of Gorham's Sterling silverware...
a few of which i found in "White Paisley" design.
here:
http://www.sterlingshop.com/White_Paisley_by_Gorham_s/762.htm
After checking the price, also do go to the below link to check on other Gorham stuff.
http://www.sterlingshop.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=gorham&Search.x=0&Search.y=0
Once you go through these pieces, you can put a price on the items you have individually, and then add them up, once added up, reduce 10 to 20 % off it and put the price on ebay.
If you get a good price for it, PM me. Good luck.

QUESTION:
How is profit made on selling silver tableware to a refinery treated for tax purposes?
Purchased silver flatware and holloware (mostly dented) for the purpose of reselling to a refinery as scrap silver to make a profit.Most of the pieces were purchased 1-2 years ago; a few within the last year. However, it was refined in one batch with one payout.
Would that profit be treated as ordinary income or capital gain? What are the tax rates?
If capital gain, how would I separate the profit (payout minus basis) into long term and short term gain since it was refined in one big batch with one payout?
-
ANSWER:
How much money are we talking here? Is this a profitable endeavorCapital gain. the items you purchased more than a year before selllng are long term. and those that you bought less than a year before selling are short term.
you will enter your purchase date and $ paid for it. Then you enter sales date, which will be same for all entries since you sold all at one time. Do you know the weights of each purchase? You would prorate the total price recieved in the sale by the % of weight that each purchase represents.

How much should i sell my silver psp with about 20 games and a movie?
someone wants to buy it off me for 0..this seems low to me..please help-

In general it will be more than 150 bucks. Let’s say you sell each game for 10 bucks, 20 games will be for 200 bucks. In addition, the movie for 20 bucks and you will have 220 bucks. The PlayStation itself should be for 100 bucks and up. Your friend should give you more than 150 bucks because you will lose lot of money.

QUESTION:
How do you sell physical silver bars if they reach 35.00 an once ? Who would be willing to buy ?
I'm try to understand how buying physical gold or silver is a good investment if you can't sell it for more then you purchased it for ? and who would buy it anyways, as you would think no one would buy unitll the price comes down....?-
ANSWER:
You can sell your bars at any time. All you have to do is either take them into a dealer or send them to an online dealer. But you are missing the point of silver and gold buying. Silver and gold are not investments.Gold and silver is money and a store of value. It is the "Currency of last resort" as Greenspan has stated many times through the years. Gold doesnt pay interest, dividends, doesnt restate earnings, has no lawyers, accountants, CEOs or CFOs lying to you on television. Gold doesnt ask for bailouts, doesnt go Bankrupt and cannot cook its books. Gold cant be debased or printed at the will of a company or governmetnt and holds its purchasing power.
Gold sits there as a store of value, is labor intensive, and a one ounce coin will not split into a bunch of half ounce coins at the direction of the "Pin Striped Bandits" on Wall Street. Also Gold is the ONLY asset class in the last ten years to increase in value and retain every dollar of its purchasing power.
Can gold go down? Yes. However that would mean that all essential goods and services must fall as well. Gold is and acts more like an insurance policy. You are insuring that something in your portfolio can never go to [FAQ-ANSWER].00. All paper assets have the ability to go to [FAQ-ANSWER].00. This is what you are insuring against.
As Alan Greenspan former Chairman of the Federal Reserve said ....
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold (from 1933 to 1975). If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard." Allen Greenspan 1966
I buy gold and silver at ANY price and hold it for the long term. I bought silver last week for .00 an ounce. You have to understand that there is a paper price and a physical price for silver and gold. Over the long term silver and gold go up in dollars. The exception to silver is if you look at the chart from 1980 to today. Silver is down but the situation was totally different back then. In 1980 because of the Hunt Brothers silver was in a bubble and that bubble burst when the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates to 22%. In addition there was 95% more silver then there is today. The fundamentals are a lot different today and favor the silver markets long term. When you want to sell your bars contact me and we will talk.

QUESTION:
How much can i sell a silver trumpet for?
its a getzen, and in pretty good shape, its just got a few dents and i need to clean it, but other than that its in great shape. how much can i sell it for?-
ANSWER:
Go to the Getzen website to determine exactly what model you have. The model will have a large impact on the price. http://www.getzen.com/trumpet/ A pro model vs. Intermediate or student.Then go to a online music store like wwbw.com and see what the price is for a new one. Then reduce the price based on age.
With this knowledge go to a local music store and see if they'll buy it or sell it on consignment. It's like a used car, if your not trading it in they won't give you much. So, it would be better to sell it on consignment. At least you'll get a good idea what it's worth. You can also take this information and advertise it in your local paper, send a flyer to local school band directors, or ebay.

QUESTION:
Where do I sell my silver bars?
I want to get the most amount of money and the coin/jewlery dealers are trying to give me a lot less than the market price. How do I get the market price for my silver?-
ANSWER:
Coin dealers are not paying a reasonable price? The ones around here (San Diego) pay about 90% of spot price. Since they usually sell for .00 or so over spot, that isn't that much of a profit margin. I don't think you will do much better unless you are selling to a private party.

QUESTION:
Price of silver per. oz.?
How much are they paying for silver an oz. Where is the best place to sell silver coins? What is a titanium L 5 millennium coin worth? It is a collectors coin with Queen Elizabeth on it and it is a 1999 coin.-
ANSWER:
The L 5 millennium coin can be worth more than its scrap value if its in demand. Honestly the best way to start is to go to ebay and see if you can find one for sale. follow the sale and see what the final price is. Do that five or six times and take an average of the price and that will be a good estimate. A good coin collector store should also be able to give you an estimate of the market value, they however pay less because they need to turn around and sell it at market in order to make money. The best price comes from selling it directly to a collector.

QUESTION:
How is it some silver is more valuable than other silver?
I am getting into investing into silver bullion/rounds. Today silver closed at .01. I saw today APMEX.com was selling 1oz silver rounds for .66. A mere $.65 cents over SPOT. While browsing products I noticed that they were also selling silver coins for: .17 per 1oz.. because there were "Off Quality, Cull, Damaged, Cleaned, Polished, etc!". Regardless of this, they're sill 1oz of pure silver. How is it they sell these for .84 cents cheaper than the price of silver?? no matter what the quality, isn't it sill silver?? I don't understand this. If anyone chould shed some light, I'd be more than thrilled to know why.
** If they were to take said damaged silver and melt it down into a bar.. By doing so wouldn't it separate the silver from any impurities and make it just worth its ounce weight again?-
ANSWER:
Only buy pure silver .999 from reputable places and you cannot go wrong.

QUESTION:
How much is silver selling for an ounce at this time?
I have numerous mint silver dollars dated from 1971 .1972 and 1974 I would like to kmow what their worth is by the ounce?-
ANSWER:
The price of silver is only an indication of a component of value beyond the face denomination. You need to see a coin dealer (or more) or perhaps try an online auction like ebay.Besides, if I gave you the market price it will have changed before the information is posted at my source. The markets are an ongoing thing and prices flop all over the place.

QUESTION:
how do i sell silver coins?
a few days ago, i was trolling around my bedroom and found an old box. inside were 15 or 20 mercury dimes and some older assorted coins. I asked my dad what they were, and he went through and told me that the brunt, besides some worn-out buffalo nickles, were partially made with silver. I immediately went on the internet and found out how to tell, which lead me to have quite a little collection.My father told me I could hold onto them, sell them, put them back, whatever I wanted. Now, I know there are shops that sell collectible coins, and since researching, I know of the grading system they use to say how 'mint' the coin is. The college student in me would like to sell them. Anyone out there know where I could possibly get the best deal or how I would go about selling them? The only thing I wouldn't be willing to do is go to a convention. I'd wanna move them ASAP, selling for their 'melt' value (that's what i'm guessing it's called)
In the end, i don't care if i'm turning a profit of or , I just want to know how to sell them. If you need amounts, i can send them. I Currently have the coins in plastic sleeves here for safe keeping
In the end, i don't care if i'm turning a profit of or , I just want to know how to sell them. If you need amounts, i can send them. I Currently have the coins in plastic sleeves here for safe keeping-
ANSWER:
Easiest thing is to find a local coin dealer, and ask what they're paying for "junk" silver. They'll probably tell you something like "22 times face value". Then, all you have to do is figure the face value of the silver, multiply by (in this case) 22, and you know how much you'll get for the silver. However, if you have some better priced coins, you'll want to sell those separately from the junk silver.The Buffs and any non silver are a little harder to figure, because their value is going to depend on the year, the condition, and where they were minted. As a rule with the Buffaloes, if the date is worn off (a common problem) a dealer will probably give you $.15 to $.20 each for them.
Really, the easiest way is to sell them to a dealer. No fees, and no waiting for your money. Walk in with coins, walk out with cash.

QUESTION:
How much would a silver coin sell for?
I have a silver morgan one dollar coin. I was wondering how much I could get from it at a pawn shop? Its in good condition (from what I see) it has a golden shine to it.
It's a 1921. I have no clue about the tarnish or whatever. I found it when I was cleaning my father's house after he passed. Did some research and found out it was a morgan silver dollar.
It also has a VERY small "S" beneath the wreath on the back. Not sure if that means anything or not.-
ANSWER:
Most Morgans are very common and are often worth little more than the silver melt value if they are in average shape. Your 1921 S is worth -20, maybe a bit more if condition is outstanding, i.e lots of luster, extremely minor wear, etc. But of course it would be worth more if it was in high uncirculated condition, say MS-60 or above. The S mint mark means it was coined in San Francisco

QUESTION:
How much do serving silver dishes sell for at a yard sale?
They are in pretty good shape and there are many different kinds like trays, candleholders, plates, and many more. So if I wanted to sell them at a yard sale what should the price be?-
ANSWER:
Are they just silver toned, or are they silver plated? Either way, you should be able to get more than each for them if they are in good condition. If they are silver plated, then you should be able to get quite a bit more. It really depends on what people are willing to pay where you live. You can always stick a price on there a little higher than what you think you may get, and then tell anyone who looks at the items to make you an offer if they think the price is too high. That way, it's up to you to accept the offer or not.Good luck.

QUESTION:
Considering selling silver?
I don't know how much its going for or where to take it. Any help?-
ANSWER:
The answer depends on what you have.Coins or bars - coin dealer. Local for small amounts. Consider a company like Apmex for larger amounts.
Jewelry - jewelry shop. Jewelry has such huge price markups that it is could be worth more as jewelry than for silver content alone.
silverware, candlesticks, etc. - Ebay, pawn shop, some coin dealers will trade in this.

QUESTION:
Is It Better To Buy The Actual Silver Bullion or Silver Stocks on the Stock Market?
Hi,...
I'm very New to all of this but the last time that I tried to buy Stocks in anything the people that I called wanted me to invest at the least ,500 on up to ,000 at one time and at that time I didnt have that kind of money to take that kind of risk with.I dont know how it works today with you being able to buy Stocks over the internet as easily as you can and from my research I dont think that you can buy "Silver" as it is and that you have to invest in to a company that deals with Silver if I understood that correctly.
So is it better to just go out and search for who ever is selling Silver Bullion the Cheapest and Buy as much as you can afford to at that time and have the Silver Bullion directly in your hands or is it better to try and find a company that deals with Silver and Invest in to that company?
What about the cost of having to deal with a Broker or Fee's that you have to deal with when your dealing with Stocks?
If there is someone out that that can help me and get me pointed in the right direction and possibly help me understand some of the things that I dont understand as far as actually buying Silver Stock,... I would very much appreciate your help friend.
Thank You Kindly.

ANSWER:
Buying silver through a brokerage firm has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, you can sell it really quickly, if you need to. And you don't have to worry that thieves will break in and steal your silver. However, your brokerage firm is required by law to report trading activity to the IRS, so if silver goes up 2500% and you sell it, the IRS is going to know exactly how much money you made. And you do not know what the capital gains tax will be in the future. So, it's a gamble. LOLIf you buy the actual metal silver, the IRS has no idea how much you made on the silver trade. But the disadvantage of buying silver is that someone might break into your house to steal your safe. You have to guard your house. When you buy actual silver coins, you are paying a little bit more, that's true. Coins are ALWAYS more expensive than raw silver--regardless of whether you're trying to buy them or sell them. Of course, the coin traders will make a little commission both when you buy and when you sell it back to them. The commission usually depends on how much you buy. If you buy or sell a larger quantity at one time, you'll pay SMALLER commission! The IRS works the opposite way: When you sell a lot of silver and you make a huge profit, you may find yourself in a higher tax bracket, and you'll pay more $$$ to Uncle Sam. If you sell little silver at small profit, you'll pay less.
I myself have bought actual silver coins. And you'll have to shop around, because I have found that silver traders charge very different commissions. Some traders are trying to make a lot of money on each sale, and some of them only make a little.
If there would be chaos and the value of dollars would go down to virtually zero, we might be able to use the coins to buy stuff. So, I think, it's a good idea to stock up on coins.
Having said that, there are new funds that play with options to give you twice the return of the metal silver! So, if you open a brokerage account, you could buy AGQ, which is the double silver fund. When silver goes up 1%, AGQ goes up 2%. I do not know how long this fund is going to be around, but it is a very good thing.
Also, GOLD has a double ETF as well -- DGP. So, if the price of gold goes up 1%, DGP goes up 2%. If you happen to buy these high performance funds at the wrong time, your money will fall at a much faster rate than if you had bought GLD or SLV. So, be careful.

QUESTION:
How do I know what to sell my collectibles at?
I want to sell collectible silver bells but I do not know what price to sell at.Is ebay the best place?-
ANSWER:
eBay is filled with sellers who haven't researched the item they're selling so they either over-price the item or, of course, under-price the item.check out the vendors at www.tias.com or www.rubylane.com. Www.goantiques.com is good too, to get a better idea of what your collection is worth.
Check out the reference books in some of the brick/mortar stores in your area (they are behind the counter in most cases).
