    Thanks for the update. I buy coins regularly every month but I have never used Atkinsons before. I will now, businesses that provide quality customer service and show they value the customer are becoming a rare thing.

    To bring this issue to a happy conclusion, I received a replacement this morning.
    A rather minty looking 2015 sovereign, a lot nicer than I was expecting TBH.
    I must give praise to Atkinsons customer service. Once they'd realised that I wanted to return a coin, the process of replacing it was executed swiftly and without any quibble.
    I'm not usually one for kicking up a fuss and, if I receive a poor service, I vote with my wallet and never buy from that company again, (there's a few companies on my sh*t list 😁).
    Not Atkinsons though, they are definitely in my good books and I will be back to buy from them again in the future.

    I’ve followed the forum closely the last few days watching how things were developing like most on here have I can’t say that you’ve acted undignified once. There were main 2 opinions on the forum with the majority expecting silver to blast off and you aired on the side of caution consistently. Also I’ve never purchased silver from you or even seen any of your videos so I’ve no loyalty to you or motive to say anything but the truth as I’ve seen it.

    Getting quite off topic now, perhaps we should call it a day and talk about the silver price.

    Am i just the only one here who just chooses to use the "ignore user" feature on the forum. 
    Folk who you consistently disagree with, dont like their opinions on things or dont like the cut of their jib, just block their posts so they dont show when viewing forum - hey presto.

    Does a less than £2 change to the spot price really mean that much to your average collector or stacker?

    Is anyone else annoyed by precious metals dealers trying to take over the action from GME or DOGE currently going on?  I keep getting these emails, slv squeeze is coming and that is NOT the case whatsover! Nobody is talking about it, someone blabbered out one post and now dealers hooked up on it.

    Dealers have ulterior motives, they don't want to sell you silver today at $25/oz when tomorrow they can sell at $30 and also they want hysteria so saying there is a shortage plays into their hands. Don't trust dealers.
    I bet there had been a spike in demand, but the hysteria plays into their hands.
    Also, they will have to restock and they don't want to sell at $25 tonight and then call their supplier tomorrow morning to be charged $35 to get new stock.

    I have no doubt demand has gone up a bit this week for some dealers, more so in the USA as there has been a lot of "Pumping" videos out there from big and small YouTubers alike (most of which have affiliate codes by the way and have a vested interest in getting you to click through and FOMO buy silver). But I do not think that WSB will push silver to $1000's/oz any time soon if at all.

    As a fellow novice my advice is pay the monthly forum membership fee and you get to see the sales posts on here 3 days earlier than non paying members.
    The best deals are on the sales pages here.

    No conditions whatsoever, it's common sense that price relative to other volumes of the same quantity available from trusted sources would factor into selling, as does attitude and awareness. Especially attitude. Trust isn't automatically given, it's earned. Reputation is built. These are the "conditions" that aid selling anything and they are not exclusive to selling silver, it applies to the art of selling in general. 
    The Silver Forum provides the opportunity to develop reputation and trust, anybody can take the opportunity and sell successfully.
    Price competitively, be clear in your listings, be kind and communicative and build reputation and standing and you will succeed at selling, completing sales is not a given just by being here and listing something. Nothing is a given like that in selling anywhere. You have to work it. If one expects to sell just because they list an item but fail, then one needs to identify possible reasons the listing is not successful. Adjust price, adjust quantity, offer a deal better than others, state you would be willing to use an intermediary service for selling a large quantity of silver if you have no rep and expect buyer's to send you hundreds of pounds for something with no real security other than reputation to rely on. There are a million things one can do to make a sale happen. It's essential one is objective and not emotional about it.
    I stand by my statement of "Whatever silver you purchase you will be able to sell because silver has inherent value" because this statement is true and is not with conditions, it may only be perceived as having conditions if one assumes that selling something is as simple as listing it then people buy it, no, it takes work, reputation and a good attitude.
