Frequently Asked Questions
Delis.inc is an S-Type Corporation registered in Arkansas. We have been selling silver on our www.spring9.com website and recently on eBay for the last seven years. This new website delispreciousmetals.com is built on the WordPress platform that is up to the standards of modern web technology.
Between 2013 and today we have amassed over 250 various silver and gold types of items (in quantity). We will sell selected items at a competitive price on this website. We still sell on eBay and have a store Delis Silver | eBay Stores
To grow the business, we have built this website on a rock-solid foundation affording us immunity to the rules and regulations of others. You will be treated with the same curtesy including one day processing and top-notch service.
Revisit us often as we increase our inventory of gold and silver items daily. We have some hard-to-find items, that others would dream to offer.
We will never share any part of the information that you provided with any external entity. Internally we continue building a database of email addresses to distribute any offers or important notifications to our customers. In short, we will do nothing with your data – it is safe and protected from any external interference.
We are required to have a dedicated page “Privacy Policy” that you can find under “Contact” tab. It is a generic and basic policy. The only interesting part of it is that we inform you that if you go to visit external to our websites, you are subjecting yourself to their “Privacy Policy”. This is applicable to our page “Meet Our Partners” where we provide links to our partner’s websites.
What "Out of Stock" means
The “out of stock” item is temporarily removed from sales. Since we do not buy and re-sale used items, we would otherwise remove such item from the listing if we did not have it in stock. In some cases, we have the ability to purchase more of the same items from the Mint, or the artist is gilding/preparing the item. The item will be available again in Before Use state – please check periodically. Sometimes we just have to simply – pause. If the item is shown – it will be available for sale again. However, if you must obtain it “now” please contact us to negotiate the sale price.

Are all of your items in Before Use state?
Yes – although we are a small distributor, we put to shame all industry giants who “buyback” coins and then sell these used goods back to you.
We do not do this. You will always be the “first owner” of any item that you have purchased from us.
Why are your prices so high for some items?
The most honest answer is that we do not want to sell these items right now. If you scan our website, you will find items that are priced well below the competition prices. For “protected” items, please contact us with your interest.
Why do you list small quantities of individual items?
For custom made presentation cases we build these internally or contract selected artists to produce limited number of items. Even when the item is identical (example – gilded Aztec Calendar silver 1 oz coin) each coin is produced individually. There are never two of the same outcomes as each coin has its own characteristics and texture. We list these coins separately. You buy what you see being advertised.
For bullion coin we list limited quantities because we do not have automated price adjustment system in place to change the prices as the spot price fluctuates. In the event of sudden price increase we limit unrealized gains by displaying low quantities of items. You although will always win as we will honor the listed prices. When we have a direct access to the Mint to obtain quantity of coins, we list these in larger quantities. When selling older items, we want to maintain availability of these items to last for a prolonged period of time. In result we list only a few at a time.
Finally, we offer custom leather rings and capsules that create stunning presentation of coins.
Can the customer negotiate?
Recuring customers may request to have a “Personal Page”. A private customer is assigned a web page on our support website www.spring9.com . There the negotiations and special offers are available.
To become a Private Customer, we need to develop business relations in a form of recurring purchases. We resave the right to select the customers that fit the profile that we find acceptable. This may sound trivial today, however, if gold and silver become “unobtanium” it will become less trivial very fast.
What "Protected" means for an individual item?
“Protected” item requires a password that we assign to the item for a few reasons. One is that the item is either expensive, or we want to control the sale tightly. Second, the item is stored away and requires a set procedure to get to it. This is done for security purposes as we do not keep inventory at the business address or at the office. You can contact us to enquire about the protected item. We will disclose the password to you as needed and you can purchase the item.
