Oh yes there are some dealers around here that love to take advantage of people. Sent for a prepaid envelope from cashforgoldusa if no buyers when the envelope comes off it goes to them.
CFG is any better? Have people been leaving Yelp reviews on the dealers saying stuff like "they refused to pay within a few dollars per ozt of spot"? Since you know the weight and purity, you can calculate your spot price.
I know first hand how the dealers are around here. I went to one dealer with some scrap silver looking to trade for some lower grade Morgan silver dollars and the guy asked me with a sarcastic tone "Why would you collect lower grade Morgans" like it was any of his business as to what i prefer. Anyways the deal was lop sided towards his favor and i flat out refused to sell to him. The price isn't just a few dollars off spot it's an insult. This is a small area and they prey upon people knowing either take the deal or Drive miles to another dealer.....Population in my town is 12K people
