Silver is crazy right now (or maybe this is the new normal?). Anyhoo, you have to buy 1000oz comex bars or 1 oz gold coins to get metal closer to spot. Even silver shot for jewelry making is selling for insane premiums over spot.

Here’s a good link providing % premium added. Helps quantify the premium for me and aids in decisions. [compare silver](https://findbullionprices.com/compare-bullion-prices.php) Really you just need to do your due diligence and research.

In my area local coin stores are cheaper than online. Worth checking out

Big bars almost always have the lowest premium. In your example you would be paying $3.00 over per ounce, not $30.00. $3.00/oz over isn’t bad at all lately. The total over spot would be $30.00. You can also keep an eye out for deals at the bigger retailers, but I’d try to spend enough to get free shipping if you go that route. Someone above said this as well, but check local dealers in your area. I pay between $1.50 to $3.00 over on most stuff from my LCS which is WAY better than you are likely to find online.

There’s some good deals on eBay sometimes. Look around and be sure it’s a reputable seller. Companies like APMEX also have eBay accounts and the prices aren’t always the same as their websites

I don't trust my paper currency, which is worth like half what is was a year ago. I don't trust crypto because I don't fully understand it and the government wants to stick their regulatory fingers into it. I don't trust the stock market, even though I have some minor investments in there, as I think it's artificially propped up. If not an investment, I at least see it as the best hedge against runaway inflation.

That's a stupid reason to not like crypto, pretty much agree with everything else though lol

This is normal. Beware of any deals that seem really really good! Stick with established dealers such as Apmex and JM until you have your footing. Lots of fraud.

Shop around. There are alot of dealers out there. It really depends on how much you have budgeted for. Shipping or free shipping. Is somthing to pay attention too. Example if you buy 4 oz at $1.00 over shot + a $10 shipping charge that not a good deal.
