Merit Financial
They made me a very good offer, 100 silver eagles for the same price (per coin) as that APMEX sells 500, and $10 less for shipping.
I did mention that I was an APMEX customer, and that their add said that they had the lowest cost.
I have not made a purchased but may soon. Does anyone have any experience with Merit ?

Oops, I did not do a poll, can that be fixed? SliverBliss

They charge five times as much as Apmex?

Merit Financial offers discount to goldsilverchat.com customers!

I had a good experience with Merit Financial, I was going to wait until my shipment arrived to comment, but I thought I would now because of the dip in PM prices.
I saw a Merit Financial add on TV and it said that they had the lowest price so I went to their website and saw that they had very competitive prices. I called and got a quote and they made me a better deal than anyone else. Their price for ASE is the same as APMEX price for 500 coins except you don’t need to buy 500 you don’t even need to buy even 100 coins to get the best price, and their shipping is competitive. I mentioned that I did not see their review on goldsilverchat.com. and Steve seemed very interested in the site. I said that if they would give goldsilverchat.com customers a discount, maybe they would get some attention.
Steve said OK that he would give goldsilverchat.com customers a $10 discount on shipping.
So the deal is, the price on their website is for less than 100 SAE and $10 discount on shipping, but you have to talk to Steve Young at ext 208 and mention goldsilverchat.com to get the discount. He did not give me a defiant minimum but mentioned that he once spent 2 hours to make a $350 USD deal and that later on he made a very large deal with the same customer, Steve said that 94% of his business was repeat customers and he was about building long term relationships.
So if there is something that you know, that I need to know, about Merit please let me know, before I send them anymore money!
Like I said I just made my first purchase yesterday and I do not have my shipment. I wanted to mention this now because of the current dip. I am not vouching for Merit Financial, I am just telling you about my experience, so don’t hole me responsible!

I'm a big APMEX fan as a general rule but I'm very interested to see how your whole transaction goes.
Keep us in the loop and Thanks for the info!

Glad to hear about the shipping price. If your deal goes ok I'll probably be buying from them.

I liked their prices but could not find any info on shipping on their site. So I tried emailing them to ask if they made up the $ difference with high shipping fees, but I couldn't send the email without my phone number being included, so I canceled the email and forgot about them. I'm fed up with a-holes selling my phone number and spamming me on my phone, so I try to limit who gets it.

SilverHog,
Try syoung at meritfinancial. I am going to call him Monday anyway, I will tell him to look out for your email.
They charged me $30 on 100 ASEs, but that was before he agreed to do the discount, with the discount it should be $20. I could not pin him down on a minimum he said that he would do that on a case by case basis. I plan to call him Monday. I will tell him that you would probably be a repeat customer.
I placed a second order 6 days later, before my first shipped. They were still waiting on my check to clear, so I ask that he hold the first and ship both together, so my first order will be delayed.
I will post a review after my orders arrive. I am fairly confident that it will be ok because he gave me his cell and home phone number. There are some positives that I did not mention like he did no ask for a credit card number to guarantee the order, and there are some negatives that I will mention later.
