The shifts in the market are remarkable. It must have been a surprise to see the shelves so well-stocked, especially after having witnessed the exact opposite before. Your observation about inflation influencing people's decisions to sell their precious metals makes a lot of sense. It’s tough when people need to liquidate assets to cover their expenses.
It’s interesting how the market dynamics have shifted to where dealers are paying under spot for silver now. A stark contrast from when they were willing to pay a premium. It sounds like the store had a wide variety of items, but it’s understandable that nothing caught your eye given the circumstances.
Thank you for sharing your insights and experience, @bulliontools!
