Happppppy to start your auction from spot price!
£217!🤗

Hi All,
Having never done an Auction before, and needing to move some items on, I thought I'd give it a go... Please do let me know if there's anything wrong with the listing - as I say, not tried this before!
 
Item: 1 x 10oz Una & the Lion Royal Mint Stamped Bar - with some small marks (refer to pictures) - Please do not bid if you are expecting a Pristine example!
Start Time : Now (time of listing)
End Time : 7pm BST this evening (28th April 2024)
Starting price : £50
Minimum bid increments : £1 please, to keep it neat 😏
Postage : UK only - will be RMSD by 1pm, postage on top of final auction price.
Payment : By Bank Transfer or PPFF
Dispatch : Will do my best to post out tomorrow (Monday 29th April 2024), but may be Tuesday. Will include a Capsule for it too, if required by the auction winner.
 
Photos:

Front: slight haze marks on the 'scrolled' area near the top - only visible when holding at a certain angle though, really difficult to photograph...

Back : again, some slight haze marks top & Bottom in the 'scrolled' area, and equally as difficult to show on a picture I'm afraid

Close up of the mark on the Lions body in the corner, possibly milking...? 🤔 again, hard to photograph, and not disfiguring generally.
Edges: generally ok, the odd small dink / mark, but nothing horrendous in my opinion - However... Please do not bid if you are expecting a Pristine example!
I may be being over-picky, but wanted to describe as accurately as possible for the eventual owner 👍
 
Winner will be highest bid at 7:00pm BST this evening (28th April 2024) as determined by the post times - I reserve the right to make the final decision, as I know from watching other auctions if two people post at almost the same time, it can be difficult to determine which is the winner.
(Any Advice on this point gratefully received form the Auction Veterans out there 🙂)
 
Good luck, and Bid lots & Bid high 😁

Purchased a special sovereign off @James32 last week which means I owe a massive thanks to everyone on TSF as I've hit the 1kg of gold in full sovereigns 🙂 (That's 137 to save anyone counting 😂).
I started this journey just under 3 years ago after happening upon TSF after looking up what one was worth that was given to me by my grandparents when I was born. Gave myself the target of 1kg in 10 years (1 per month plus a few) and have smashed that. Honestly the best decision I've done and a great little nest egg for retirement. Here's to the next kg and once again, thank you all 😀🥰

I know hindsight is 20/20 but if I had bought 1 Sovereign a month from when I started work in 1989 I would be retired now.
For any younger stackers out there, its still an achievable target even at today's prices.

Not according to the last time I checked.
Although in the society we now live in, I could probably order a c*ck n' balls at the drop of a hat if I fancied a change!

It's OK.. you can stay on a special scholarship. 

Oh my god. Why am I only just learning this? No wonder I can never remember if it's 10pm or 11pm when markets close. That's because, it changes every 6 months!!!!!
FFS. There's no hope for me.... 🫣

And late...

Is it the right time back up the truck and stack silver ?
( Asking for a friend) 

Blimey, I have a break from the forum, and Gold ends up at £1723 an ounce 😲
…maybe I should take another break 😏

Sorry guys, both sold. I will ensure to double the price next time to give the slow ones a chance at buying 😅
