A-Mark - Precious Metals Industry Getting Less Players

JM Bullion owned the domains, silver.com, silverprice.org, goldprice.org and the distributor Provident Metals. Now, I heard A-Mark purchased JMBullion. A few years ago, A-Mark acquired a majority part of SilverTowne mint. They entered into a supplier arrangement with Asahi Refining (who on their own has been mopping up facilities in the US - like Republic Mint). Looks like A-Mark is becoming a vertically integrated company. Seems like there are less players now. A good thing or bad thing?

I've bought from APMEX, JMBullion, Provident, BGASC, Golden State, Bold, Texas Precious Metals, Monarch, Anonymous, SilverTowne, Intaglio. My favorite right now is Bold. I heard about Hero the other day and might try them. Also haven't tried SDBullion, Monument Netals. Any good one's I missed?

Beside what I've already mentioned, does anyone else know of any other consolidations? I used to buy from Quality Silver Bullion but they were taken over by Regency Mint, who require large minimum orders. Some mints don't sell retail, like Mason Mint and CNT.
