Welcome to TSF. Easy to go from dipping a toe in to deep sea diving in no time. Go steady

Don't t leave us all hanging on half the story. How many did you buy? Did you 'back up the truck?' 😂

£17.50

I like the cast bars. Baird quite nice. I've not bought from Sharps but they are a genuine outfit many members have purchased from there. The downsides to bars vs say Britannias or Sovereigns, they are not exempt from CGT which may or may not be an issue when you sell anyhow. You can call a few dealers and ask what they pay for 50g gold bars compared to sovs or brits. (eg spot or 99% or 98% or whatever. Otherwise it might become more difficult to post the 50g bar if gold price increase much more as SD covers to £2500. Dealers are equipped for this but might just be another minor inconvenience should you decide to sell. I've heard it from a couple of dealers they prefer equivalent value in sovs than bars as they just more popular but I doubt there are any established dealers who wouldn't buy a 50g bar

Cost averaging will keep us safe 👍🏽

There are many options in most towns or cities. Best bet just search desired town and safe deposit box. Some open Sunday too. Can be from as little as £10 a month.

Ahh yes gentleman's metal 👍🏽😂

Gold down about 11% in USD from March and about 5% in GBP GBP /USD from around 13200 down to 12300 in 2 months

As @stefffana infers though we should remain on topic. Whilst XAU has dropped back in USD terms us shopper's could do with GBP gaining from where it is. Right now it's not far off its weakest point in years

I think there is a whole section of the forum dedicated to the peasants metal somewhere 😂

Happy to take any 1 oz coins off your hands for £1k today, before they become worthless 😂

Thanks 👍🏽 Looks like a good resource

@GoldDiggerDave What book is that please?

Everything is for sale

Just Pm'd

What's a VHS? 🧐 Are they like those old school, square dvd disks but with spools on them?

Just a typo... He means peeking... Peeking out into the world to see what costs to increase next 👀

Partly because gold is rising in USD price and partly because GBP is falling vs USD

Goodbye front splitter

Super cars are a lot of fun but a couple of grand on oil and rubber each year along with £7-800 on fuel a month before any upgrades or repairs can buy quite a bit of shiny stuff. If it's an either or choice then there's a clear winner.

Whilst it's quite a long time perhaps just send them a message asking if it's possible for a quick update incase they have any notifications like an email linked to the forum. We've no idea what the seller is going through and it's unfortunate timing

My 2 oz bullion tudor lions are all great condition though which I was genuinely surprised about. I ordered extra to hopefully end up with at least had a few nice ones

I've had silver Brits turn up in various states fresh out of the tube and generally not good. 2021 brits for eg had milky marks (I think it was still 2020 when I got them)

It just depends what you're buying and the timing, stock levels etc. They have had some really good prices on various items at different times over the past few months.
