Franchise City's video: Silver Stacking Arbitrage 101

Unique arbitrage loophole some ebay sellers are using to make $17,000 on a single deal. ARBITRAGE INVOLVES RISK. ALWAYS CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE DEPLOYING. PROVIDED "AS-IS" FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. Today we look at a loophole that made somebody $17k in the comfort of their own home. Hopefully this will also draw peoples attention to the value of precious metals. if you dont have much money to invest you could do this on a smaller scale and make a few extra dollars. Arbitrage, for those of you that don't know is simultaneously buying and selling an asset in a different market and taking advantage of price difference in that other market. You can do this with web clicks, electronics, fashion, basically anything. There are always arbitrage opportunities you just need to keep your eyes open, especially when we begin to see more distortions. Right now as some of you may know it is impossible to find any silver or gold bullion. All of the traditional retailers where people usually buy silver you cant find it, kitco, everybody is sold out. Which is funny because the actual spot price of silver is low, but this is because of people selling their paper silver on the market, so ETF's not physical silver, which drives the price down. But people are now realizing that if the government is printing money, currency may devalue, stocks may tank, and holding metals is a good thing. When something becomes scarce, people do desperate things to get their hands on silver or gold, including paying insane premiums to own it. But here is a secret, most people dont check the *banks to buy bullion because usually the premiums are too high. Most people dont even know banks sell precious metals. Many do. And when the retailers are asking crazy premiums over spot, the banks actually look pretty good. Here is a monster box we just picked up from Scotiabank on Friday, - so 2 days ago. 500 oz of silver in 20 tubes of 25. I asked the bank they said they have no shortage in metals I could order as much as we wanted in any form we wanted. So acquisition cost on this box was about $13,000 or $650 a tube in Canadian dollars, the Canadian dollar is very low right now compared to the USA. If we look over on ebay, you can search for "sold" listings we see on March 22nd someone paid almost $43,000 for 1000 oz of silver. If we bought 500oz from the bank today our acquisition costs would be $26,000, if we sold at $43,000 the profit would be $17,000 for one listing. You could buy, have it shipped to your home, list it, sell it never have to leave your house. Now notice below was a monster box 500 coin box that sold for $16,323, so this person "only" made $3,323 on a single deal. People are paying crazy amounts for silver and gold because of FOMO. What if we broke up the box and sold individual tubes. Remember our acquisition costs were $650 a tube Canadian. Here is a listing for one tube, 25 coins for $1035, arbitrage profit on that deal would have been $385, here is another roll that sold at $907, that would have been $257 in profit for a single listing. We see dozens of single silver bullion rolls that sold between $850 at the low end to $1000+ at the high end, so looks like a minimum of$200 profit per roll per listing. We see 4 tubes at $3,000, we would make $400 every sale. Here is 5 tubes selling at $3600, again almost a $400 profit on one deal. And there are many, many listings of tubes selling at this price. We also see anomalies where the listing ends at crazy prices, this is 50oz, remember our cost $1,300, sold for $3067 that auction would have had a profit of $1767. Gold bullion is even crazier on ebay, look at this 25 grams of gold, not even a full OZ, sold for $5,000. We can buy this right now for $2100, someone made a profit of almost $3,000. Look at this 10 oz of gold somebody paid $68,000, you can buy gold right now for about $2500 Canadian, so $25,000 for 10 - somebody made an arbitrage profit of $43,000. Now admittedly that one is an anomaly, but people are making thousands of dollars on ebay using arbitrage. You can already see distortions in the market that could very well continue and some of these auctions are going for huge amounts, and all are going for far in excess of what these coins are selling for at the bank. So anyone can make extra money from home at the low end about $10 for every coin sold, and at the high end thousands of dollars on boxes, and hundreds of dollars on the tubes. Now you have to be careful because when the silver inventory for retail markets are replenished this arbitrage loophole could very well close up, and prices normalize. There is a small window right now while people's fear of not being able to get their silver and gold bullion where people are making obscene profits.
