In addition, he is out of 100 oz., 10 oz., and Maples. All he has are some Phillies and generics. Now this guy, who I buy from a lot, always calls em when he has a deal or a "pass through" where he charges a small fee to legitimize a deal, and he always gives me the skinny. Yesterday evening I saw him at Five Guys and sat down with him to eat my hamburger sandwich and bullshit. He told me that he is having an extremely hard time getting new silver and that lately he has been relying on incoming sales to maintain some semblance of stock. He went on to say that he just placed a fair sized order through Tulving just because it was his only source for Eagles, 100$ bags face junk and a few other things. He couldn't define a specific choke point, but made it clear he isn't the only dealer in our state having problems sourcing silver with a very near term delivery date. I asked him about Apmex and whether or not they gave dealer discounts, because they always have metals, and he responded that no, they do not. He expounded further and said there is a lot of chatter in the marketplace about a couple of huge buyers demanding silver from a major exchange that are getting stonewalled. The exchange apparently is refusing to deliver that amount of silver, requiring them instead to settle out in fiat.
Strange indeed.
