A lot of them started buying precious metals only recently. Perhaps,

Not only pawn shops, but around me are at least four stand alone stores
that
buy nothing /but/ precious metals. Three of them even have folks standing
at
the street holding up "We Buy Gold!" signs. Obviously have to be ripping
people
off big time to afford rent and all the other overhead.

You can do better selling PM on ebay, people are buying at near spot and
sometimes over. Of course you run the risk of being scamed.

I sold a 100 oz silver bar on ebay once, it worked out OK, but was
scary.
