I don`t think there would be a problem !! At least not that I am aware of !!  Didn`t see anything that would throw up a red flag !!  As always make sure you get a guarantee from the auction company !!  They should stand behind what they sell just in case !!  In other words if the auction company advertises it as 925 silver they need to back up that ad with a guarantee !!  Especially in online sales !!

In a nutshell....No...do not buy...there is no bargain...you are paying the full amount...based on the scrap value of the silver...the price for 648g of 925 silver is $420...then you would have to pay the buyers premium...and shipping charges....unless this item is very rare..or has a Provenance...then I would say...walk away...keep your money....

most of the ppl would not pay what the silver is worth they would pay a bit more.
sure dealers will pay less.
