Hi, thanks for this link. When I look at the queen's beasts (as an example) they are coming up €41.76. It doesn't say that it's the 2oz coin, but I think they only did the silver in 2oz? Assuming it is 2oz, that does seem quite cheap, but am I right that if have to pay VAT when it arrives in the UK? 

Assuming that's the case, is there a place I can go to work out the VAT before I order. I'm new to this, so any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks

There is no vat to be added.

I'm in ireland though. Someone else may confirm for UK.

Apologies, but true🤣.

Take a look, it's impressive. Dont be disheartened, I'm sure they have a team of web developers on it. You are just one man.

I should have specified community reputation is dumb. What's the point when you can't give negative feedback.

And I'm not talking about disagreeing on a point. I'm talking about disapproving of behavior.

Feedback system is dumb, you get "reputation" for being laughed at.

I even bought and waited 4 days to see what prices would do and they honored order with no issue, despite prices going up a good bit.🤣

Check this site for some of the cheaper silver.

I have bought some Gold before form them and they are a joy to deal with. You are mad to pay what some UK dealers are asking.

I don't normally stick my well endowed nose into this sort of thing other than to occasionally add my 2p due to experience, buuuuut...

Being the absolute cheapest isn't always the biggest deal in my opinion. A business has to work out it's prices based on a large number of influencing factors, the more business it does in different disciplines the more nuanced this is. If you are supremely customer driven as a business a few pence or even a pound or two per coin extra can be accepted by the discerning buyer. You also have to take into account the benefit of a domestic supplier against a continental dealer when it comes to postage time, processing time etc. 

I am in no way trying to say "you should do this" or "you should do that", but when it comes to supporting a British business that is trying it's best to support and engage with its customer base I feel the need to speak out. 

It's even more difficult to compare when dealing with silver due to the nature of the UK market in this regard. Places like Chards are fighting an uphill battle with that particular market, and as far as I can see they are streets ahead of many with trying to provide secondary market alternatives that don't require the 20% VAT on the entire sale. When they are obtainable of course...

Be happy with what you do, I'm not trying to have a go (I've used Silver to Go before now and been very happy), but I think there's sometimes a bit more to it than just the price at the bottom of the page.

True but this is the "Deals" thread. Not the "chards" are nice to me thread. 😜

@ChrisSilver, thats my final word.

This is a useful tool, developed by a TSF member and open for all members to use for free, no hidden motives.

Chards are consistently in the top 3 positions, when in stock. 

http://goldprice.eu5.net

I've seen it and it's not always accurate.

And as said, Germany's cheaper right now.

I don't want top 3, I only buy the cheapest, they are simply never there.

Also, check gold.de. Better comparison site and illustrates my point.

That’s simply not true.  Plenty of coins on site that are the cheapest available.

 

Its there customer service that really wins out, again and again!

 

I discovered today that the payment had failed on my order yesterday at £22.16. Any other dealer would have said sorry, you need to reorder at today’s spot (nearly £70 more!). They went that extra mile, checked yesterday’s order, could see it failed and honoured the price.

 

Thats people over profit.

 

Im not sure where you are shopping Ape, I wish you’d share.

I focus on price. Buying mostly from Germany now.

I find chards really uncompetitive. But am willing to be proven wrong.

Already £25.93 now

£27 now. Id stay clear of Chards. Prices are silly.

Never saw one thing worth buying on there that wasnt much cheaper elsewhere. 

In my opinion this thread should have been closed and Wonger banned a long time ago.

A different viewpoint is one thing. This thread is not that.

Apparently they don't send to the UK. Strange that they send to Ireland but not the UK.

I don't know them. Have you checked if they send to the UK, as some German dealers don't.

Im in Ireland and they send there.

There are some good deals at heubach-edelmetalle.de.

Can I ask has anyone used and are they safe\reliable?

come on Wonger where is the COT Chart??😀 I must have missed seeing it today😎

Problem is you never look at the other side of the trade

 

 Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.

 

“The fact that the rise in the gold price has been hardly driven by speculation at all argues against any excessive correction. Net long positions held by speculative financial investors increased only slightly in the last reporting week, and still remain significantly short of their early-March level,” he said.

He only repeats that graph when Gold drops a little to troll people.

Yep you need one big bag of popcorn. Look at the bullion by post website. People are panic buying physical now FOMO has now kicked in. And could be indicator also of loss in faith in fiat! I suspect the former because many of the masses ignorant to it. I've told some relatives to buy physical silver and they said don't tell me what to do because well get bailed out. Ignorance is bliss. 

What kind of a dumb response is that?

How does getting bailed out make not buying a good idea? Its the very reason they will get bailed out that they should buy.

Your family are dumb.😄

Maybe if you didn't agree to bets and then back out.😂

You can use Revolute to to avoid high exchange fees.

I would recommend every to have a Revolute anyway. Great service. Let me know and Ill send you a refer a friend🤣

Gold still crashing towards all time high. Could hit that today😆

Pulled the trigger on a(nother) spot price Sov from H&B [https://harringtonandbyrne.co.uk/2020-united-kingdom-gold-uncirculated-sovereign-4531.html]

I want one but the racialists wont deliver to me.

The question is exactly what is the stake?

If its 3 oz. of physical gold, technically you're only risking 3 oz at $400 if by some miracle it does go to 400.

Chances are you'll win one oz at $2000 or whatever😄

Yep, I had copped that and how stupid the bet was but didnt want to say it as Wonger is obviously not too good at maths 🤣
