We have a large promotional draw coming soon that is open to all forum members, including free standard members  
As previously stated we have a lot more planned promotions coming throughout the year to promote and grow TSF.

Many thanks for those who choose to support TSF with Premium Membership as this helps go towards our running costs as well as our marketing costs to make such draws like this possible. 
Look out for the draw in the Prize Draw section coming within the next week…..

Also to clarify: the SuperLike, SuperThanks and SuperLOVE reactions counting for 3,3,10 points respectively are an increase from before. Previously SuperLike, SuperThanks, and SuperLOVE, affected reputation points by 3,3,10 but only 1 rank point was awarded each time irrespective of what reaction was used. So even a member received lots of SuperLikes and superLOVES they would only count as 1 point towards your rank points each time.
So although the amount of points required for the higher tiers has increased, the rate at which you can gain rank points has also increased.
You will now receive more rank points for receiving these reactions.

I understand that some members may be upset by the change in rank points required to reach each level, and that they take their rank very seriously. It wasn’t possible to keep users’ existing ranks unfortunately, as the system affects all users’. Please do remember that at the end of the day it’s just a bit of fun and the ranking system is only used for fun  
Please do not bring negativity onto the forum, the ranking system is just for fun and should be treated as so 😊

Some good points. If I may add some personal comments from my time here.
Tavex’s @TavexBullion range is small but one one the best. Bought from them and they tick the boxes of price, quality and delivery. They are my guide for bars on pricing.
Sigma Verifier are around £910 from @Fadeingstarwith all the wands. Worth every penny.
You really need to differentiate TSF with Flea-Bay and Facebook groups. It’s chalk and cheese. To get the real quality deals, you need to be a paid member and listings usually sell very quickly before it becomes available to standard members. You also have sellers selling bulk buys of normally hard to find worldwide coins/rounds/bars (example @Panda6Pack)You post a wanted listing and you are likely to get a response and fair price below Bullion Dealer’s pricing.
Paid buyers here have an excellent reputation within the PM community and are not looking to earn a quick £ from deceit or false representation. It is a big ’No No’ and will be called out and scolded by everyone. This is not Flea-Bay. Reputation, integrity and honesty separates us from the rest. I cannot over emphasise this.You will also see many YouTube channels who proudly mention TSF and are associated with the site. From BYB @BackyardBullionto GoldDiggerDave @GoldDiggerDave, you need to look at the overall picture. Buyers, Sellers, Grading,Pouring, it’s all here with member’s experiences.
TSF also has experienced Admin and owner @ChrisSilverwho runs a tight ship. Issues are resolved or expulsion. No nonsense. 
Normal insured cost (SD)from buying a 1oz Gold Coin is £6.55. If you take into account, your tube return and time spent then that’s cheap.
Just my opinion of course and my experience.

It was pointed out by a member that the top rank levels were too easy to achieve. After evaluating the curvature of the rank progression chart it was clear that this was indeed the case and the gap between higher rank levels was too small and too easy to achieve. Some new members were previously able to hit the points needed for the highest rank within only 4-6 months from joining.  

The new points required for each rank are below, they have only been changed from rank 'Rising Star' and above. The below ranks have seen no change in points required to hit those levels. 




How points are awarded towards your rank:
Comment/reply posted 5 points Content item followed 2 points Member is followed 2 points Content item posted (such as a new topic) 10 points Reaction 1 point is given to the member giving the reaction. 1 point is received by the member who posted the content that received the reaction. Unless they are special reactions such as the below where the following points will be received by the member who is receiving the reaction for the content posted: SuperLike 3 SuperThanks 3 SuperLOVE 10
Note that rank points are different from reputation points.

Thank you. It’s the reason why I asked, so I can move it if needed.
Items listed in the trade section are listed based on the country they are currently located in, opposed to country shipping from or shipping to. 
I am waiting for the OP to confirm. But if no response will need to close it.
