    Chorlton reacted to ChrisSilver in Public Statement (relates to NBS): Why I am not the real Christmas Scrooge   
    Public Statement (relates to NBS): Why I am not the real Christmas Scrooge
    Firstly: The main purpose of TSF is not to make money, and TSF was not set up to make money. Which is perhaps why it is a successful forum and one of the largest English speaking platforms for precious metals enthusiasts. We therefore have no hesitation in removing accounts that are deliberately trying to cause issues or upset the balance of the forum.

    The vast majority of regular members however are extremely helpful to the community here and wish for the forum to succeed and have been generous enough to support the forum with a Premium Membership and specifically Platinum Group Premium Memberships.
     

    TSF is however still a business and one of my main sources of income, which creates a very small modest income after taxes for the vast amount of hours I have put into the forum. And which sometimes operates some months at a loss and I need to put money into the forum. There are a lot of members who profit more from the existence of the forum than the forum itself makes. The success of the forum also affects others who I have outsourced work to for other projects to help them, and who also rely on the finance success of the forum. 
    I do not own any large amounts of gold or silver other than the TSF branded rounds/bars as anytime I have purchased some precious metals I have ended up selling it in order to invest into the forum as our costs (especially development and maintenance of existing custom applications/plugins regularly exceeds the small revenue which TSF generates month to month. TSF is not VAT registered as we do not even make enough revenue to hit that small limit currently, which shows how little profit it can make)

    As I have stated before I believe that members should be able to discuss a wide range of topics as long as they remain respectful to other members and have on many occasions defended the existence of the NBS topic where I believe members should be able to relax in a slightly more informal section of the forum. I have however politely asked that it doesn’t spill out into the precious metals section of the forum and ruin the forum experience for other members.  This has repeatedly been broken over the last 5-6 months, despite many pleads to keep the NBS style posts strictly to the NBS topic. In fairness the fast majority of members posting in the NBS have been respectful and have followed my requests, thank you for this.

    This has created a continue increased amount of Admin workload and there have been many posts which I have missed (as I am unable to read everything) In order to help keep the forum tidy and respectful we have outsourced an AdminSupport @AdminSupport

    I would still like the NBS topic to remain, as per the clear rules set out.

    As stated in the NBS topic*:
    There will be some sort of promotional offer during this time. (please do continue reading the full post below, and specially the however part below) 
     
    Sorry if anyone feels that the new change is a ‘money grab’ and comparable to the ULEZ. But the decision was purely an administrative decision to try to reduce the repeated issues of the NBS style posts flowing into the precious metals sections and trade section, and the continue headache I have to deal with reports and issues. Our costs (both the amount of time myself needs to put into Moderation opposed to focusing on growing the forum and other projects, as well as outsourcing someone to help have also increased our costs) As the vast majority of members in the NBS topic are already Platinum Group Premium Members I do not think it is much of an ask. As previously stated there will also be a generous offer for those who wish to consider upgrading, and as members who have been here a long time will understand I am more than generous with helping members. Platinum Premium Membership if paid annually in GBP is only £8.25 per month.
     
    Trade topics do not need to mention ********* woman, or any of your hidden desires which should be kept private and not publicly announced in trade topics. There is absolutely no need for such crude remarks. And we believe it is perfectly acceptable to ask members not to post trade topics with such titles. TSF can remain a fun place without this needing to affect the trade section and precious metals section of the forum.

    Scantily dressed photos of women should not be posted on the forum (though we have allowed this in the NBS topic providing it does not breach the rules on pornography)
    I am trying to keep the forum stable and pleasant for for all members including our members and official sponsors who are female, please remember this when posting on the forum and remain respectful. It is a public precious metals forum, not a gentleman’s private club. And there is the NBS topic remains for members to join in some fun and banter, please do continue to keep the NBS style posts strictly to that topic and thank you to the members who do. 

    I am unsure why some wish to be disruptive or deliberately try to damage the forum, or to try to publicly create unbalance or resentment against myself or the forum, I am merely trying to keep the forum stable and ensure the long term survival. Sometimes I may be very busy and replies may be short, direct and to the point. This in no way is an indication that I do not care about the forum or about you, or about the community here. I am merely overworked and overstressed and trying to effectively deal with the tasks at hand as efficiently as possible. There may also be some cultural differences.

    There is a clear safe place for members to joke around (within reason) and have banter in, and I have asked repeatedly to keep such posts in that particular NBS topic.
     
    We want members to have fun. And overall the forum is generally a very relaxed environment with a large amount of freedom given to members. The problem comes when members ruin the forum experience for others, some members only wish to engage in precious metals content or to buy and sell, which is why we released the default activity feed to not include the NBS topic (this can be changed and saved as per members settings to also include as written in the NBS)
     
    In order to improve the member experience and account support there is a new account AdminSupport @AdminSupport, they will automatically be added to any private message conversations started with me or ones where I am added to, so that we can respond to you account enquires as quickly as possible. They will also be helping with moderation to help keep the forum tidy.

    This will also have the advantage of improving the member experience as account related questions can be answered in a more timely manner. This is in addition to the Moderators that we have that help out on the forum, many thanks to all the moderators and especially @trp for recently organising the Christmas Draws and helping out on the forum a lot  

    *however:

    Due to the current economic climate and the fact that it is Christmas and I do not wish to be labeled as scrooge this year, in an unheard of 180 degree turn I have decided to revoke my previous decision in reaction to members breaching the NBS terms and will keep to the original plan of Gold and above as outlined nearly 6 months ago. This will ensure that anyone wishing to engage in the NBS topic only needs to have Gold or above and does not need a Platinum Level Premium Membership. But we hope that members can appreciate and understand our situation, both from a cost and time perspective. Thank you to those members who continually respect the forums rules and the NBS guidelines and who keep such posts strictly to this section of the forum. Thank you to all members who help keep the forum tidy and who report posts so that we can tidy the forum and keep it pleasant for all. 

    I also have not only my own finances or the forums to worry about but other people who I have outsourced work to in order to help them and have these responsibilities, which can add stress to an already sometimes stressful 😰 (but mostly very enjoyable) role dealing with (mostly very) lovely people  

    Once again many thanks to all members who decide to support TSF with Premium Membership and especially those who choose a Platinum Group Premium Membership. We understand, and can feel it ourselves how the recent costs of living (especially in Europe but also worldwide) have affected many people’s finances making the cost of living much higher. I myself have moved to try to take advantage of price arbitrage in order to afford the cost of life.

    We hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas with friends and family

    Hi @refero you are spot on.  I would however just add that some stackers do insist on a certain level of condition and this makes selling on easier. 
    An absolute dog of a Sovereign doesn’t sell as well as a comparative Sov.
    Now, yes, I know there are exceptions for specials like low mintage coins but that’s when you want something and you realise you have started to become a collector.

    There's a pawn broker around the corner from the bullion dealer, which doesn't know how to price coins. I've bought a couple of proof gold coins off them for bullion prices but the bullion sovereigns are way over what the price should be. I tried to tell them their prices are all over the place, after I bought the proofs of course 😁

    2) clovis set plus titanic coin £450
    3) art of glass plus colloseum plus royal winnipeg ballet in music box £475
     
    Note: will take GBP 825 for batches 2 and 3 together or make me an offer
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    This is an unusual sale for a specific reason.  Please bear with me.
    I have been diagnosed with incurable cancer and am under palliative treatment but need to dispose of my remaining coins before I go as I don't want to leave to kids/wife to sort out and i'll sell on here so I know they'll goto people who appreciate them.
    Its not a sympathy sale (my family are well taken care of), I'm just not well enough to sell items separately (I get very very tired and dont need the fuss),
    Hence as long as someone offers to buy the lot I will consider selling at what is hefty discount in order to help me dispose.  It just business so no comments or sympathy please (I understand the need to convey sympathy but its not necessary, It's a bummer but I've come to terms with it and had a cracking life and who knows, maybe a get a good while longer if the treatment keeps me going)
    I appreciate by selling as job lot people will be buying stuff they don't want as well as  stuff they do, hence the discount (you'll be doing me a favour, honestly)
    As an act of good faith, if you are a member of this site  (pre- today only) I will send the coins before you need to make payment. I cant say fairer than that
    Just to set your mind at rest, I repeat I dont need the money, Im well insured and pensioned but once they stop treatment I'd probably use the money for one last almighty piss up with my mates and son as I hope I'll have a brief window where I feel better not under treatment
     
    I have listed the various items and included my estimate of what I paid, my estimate of minimum value, and my estimate of max value.
    I re-iterate I will entertain any offers so dont fee you are insulting me or taking advantage. I will add pictures to edit or reply as I cant get them from my phone to this PC for some reason.
    (my costs are estimates as most were purchased some time ago)
     
    Item one: Full set of Clovis to Republic: Monnaie de Paris designed by Christian Lacroix from 2014
    Set includes 15 x 0.9 x 22g coins, certificates of authenticity, all boxes, and includes presentation box:  Cost (approx) GBP 500, min value GBP 400, Max GBP 600
    Item two : Blue Marble 3oz silver coin with cert and box :(Barbados) 2022  Cost (approx) GBP 160, min value GBP 100, Max GBP GBP 160
    Item Three: Colosseum : two 28.28g coins, Myer Mint Niue 2014 (citius / fortius) includes snazzy box and coa : Cost (approx) GBP 150, min value GBP 125, Max value GBP 200
    Item Four: 2012 Titanic coin with coal from Titanic : CIT mint (bit toned); Cost (approx ) GBP 100, Min value GBP 75, Max value GBP 100
    Item Five: Royal Winnipeg Ballet colorised coin in Music box (not yet activated) with Coa: Cost (approx) GBP 100, Min value GBP 50, Max value GBP 100
    Item Six:  Art of Glass (2 coins): Congo, Pink Lady 2015, Bohemia Glass 2016. With display frames, boxes and Coa's : Cost  (approx) GBP 250, Min value GBP 350, Max value GBP 700: (First coin company has them for sale at USD1,200 in total currently)  
     
    Bullion / semi bullion
    4 x 2014 Royal Mint Lunar Horses only ok condition so am pricing pretty much as bullion : Cost (approx) GBP 80; Min value GBP 100, Max value GBP 125
    3 capsuled Silver Pandas (1990, 1993, 1997) : Cost (approx 100; min value GBP 100, Max value GBP 200)
    Silver panda with Black  Ruthenium/ gold finish 2014 : cost (approx) GBP 50; Min value GBP 50; Max value GBP 100
    First Strike PGCS MS70 Silver panda (toned) : Cost (approx) GBP40; Min value GBP 25; Max value GBP 40)
    Special Edition 2020 Panda celebrating (believe it or not) the defeat of Coronavirus issued in march 2020 I think before we even locked down, limited to 100 pieces!!! with box/coa : cost (approx) GBP50; Min value GBP 50; Max value GBP 100
    There is also a Canada Aster and bumble bee capsuled colorised coin which Im valuing at zero because I cant find a 2013 version of this coin so not sure if its genuine. If it is it could be worth north of GBP 100
     
    Forgive me if my chemo brain has calculated incorrectly but I get the following totals
     
    Cost (approx )   GBP 1,530
    Min value GBP 1,375
    Max Value GBP 2,325
    I think I've been reasonable and will accept Min value est GBP 1,375.  I think this still represents a huge discount  as even my max value is lower than I can see some pricing (the glass coins alone are for sale at over a grand for the pair)
