I've seen BTC vending machines around the coffee shops, a liquor store, a convenience store and a Chinese grocery store. I'd love to see at least ONE gold vending machine but so far no luck. I expect a much higher premium for the added convenience. But what I am seeing a regular appearance of a gold buying company disguised as a "Collectables show". I can almost hear that sucking sound as more and more people around here are selling their gold and silver just to pay the bills.
That's a good point. The premium might be big deterrent for genuine stackers to be using these machines.
I've seen those "We buy gold" operations here in Australia. I swear their whole business model is based on people with old jewelry who are ignorant of how to price up the metal content.
