Ready to sell some silver, what's fair?

[John Madill]

Just have a handful of coins, trying to raise enough $$$ for a beach pass.

12 dimes, two quarters and three halves.
Looking online it seems they have a melt value of $83.67.

What would I expect a dealer to pay?

I don't believe your going to get full melt value from a dealer.

What I did was post my silver on Craigslist or FaceBMP. I sold my coins for a little under melt and the guy who bought mine took my number and wants anything I find. I sold a couple silver rings and jewelry for $1 to $5 each, which was over melt value. By the time it was all said and done, I came out ahead of anything I would have gotten from a dealer and no paper work.

Just post, sit back and wait. Don't expect it to move fast.

Try for $75.00 and take $70.00 if you need to sell now.

Not expecting full value, I know some needs to make a profit. Just did not know what the norm is.

Get as close as you can.

Appreciate the offer. Sold them and used the $$$ for carbon fiber rods for my machine. Will take a long time to find that much again.

Good for you my friend. Sounds like you made a very good deal.

With so many private buyers out there already paying dealer premiums, I would at least expect spot price in a private sale.
