I like apmex but the one thing I wish they did was let you store your purchases until your ready to ship. Theres some weeks I would buy a few oz and lets say I wanted to add 10 a week. Not really economical to ship 10 ozes of silver. After a couple months though 100 or so ozes wouldnt be bad.

Oh and they must be doing ok to be able to afford that building. Whats a building like that go for nowadays? Would make a nice gold silver member fortress :):)

Real creepy in light of current events. I believe that THEY were the true owners of the other site as of 2 years ago. The rest were just tools.

Never bought from them and never will.

My guess is that the new digs will allow them to launch a gold storage program.

Seems to be the progression for these precious metals dealers once they get big.

That is really creepy. Not that they are using a building that was originally designed for safe storage of gold, silver, and cash, but that they employ pigs to guard it.

Something was posted on the old site about the irony of their bank as well - Chase was it?

Hey guys! I work at APMEX and just thought I'd make sure everyone realizes that it's not actually a government building anymore, but privately owned. As one of the most secure buildings in the state, it made sense that we move here.

I think it is awesome.. finally using the building to store honest money.

A certain irony in that.

PRIVATIZE THEM ALL! END THE FED!!!!!!

Now, please consider offering custodial services with your big nice new vault.

I would like to be able to store up purchases for shipping later too,
I think bulliondirect will let you do that, I'm not sure though.

I have used APMEX in the past and consider them to be an A+ operation,
thanks for the discount code too, that's pretty much free shipping.

Yes Bulliondirect does this if you use their "Nucleo Exchange" program. The items are stored in your portfolio until you take a draw. I'm not sure how it works with the catalog option though.

Have you checked out bulliondirect.com? You can do exactly that, and their nucleo exchange and even their own catalog are often times cheaper than Apmex, though there is less variety.

For storage of MY SILVER........you know how I feel about that.

Why such a strong "fortress".......well, WTSHTF and everything goes down I would like to see traying to take out your PM from that place.

They will tell you that they now OWN it.

True, but it would sure cut down on shipping costs if you can buy a few pieces, then wait a month, buy a few more, then have them all shipped at once.
