OK,

They pay half of shipping.
$1/lb charge, between 3%-%5 of PM value and $5/ounce of PM.
minimum of 2000lb.

60-90 day turn around

you get money, not your PM, based on that day's closing price.

I probably will not move forward with this deal, this time. I have the 2000lb but that represents a couple of months work for me and I am too afraid to risk it. I need the money now for a new trailer etc.

if I ever hit the motherload, I will give it a try though.
