Loooool .

anyway I just rang them. They have 54 left in stock and in perfect condition from the dealer the purchased from. Guessing from the mint. I think I’m going to get some.

25 percent discount seems huge. I’m tempted tbh. Think the montage for this year was around 12,000. I maybe wrong.

Mintage*

As they had more than 100 of them originally, I suspect they were unsold stock directly from the mint.

Anyway, if you were to be buying one instead of a bullion sovereign solely as an investment, then they'd be second hand either way when it comes to realising your investment.

I see, thanks for the heads up 👍 

Don’t quote me on that I might be wrong. Worth giving them a call to find out

Great price for a full sovereign proof 👍

Second hand i think though.

It’s crashing line a Gooden £1427 and falling. 

Enjoy. You will get addicted and start using money you usually use for luxuries on gold. It’s a great feeling to own gold

Mostly I agree about high / over - priced but I usually end up buying Platinum one ounce coins from the RM as the cheapest in the UK.
I have also bought one ounce gold e.g. Queens Beasts, again after trawling the usual suspects only to find the RM sometimes has the best deals.
Same with a few silver bars surprisingly.
Always shop around of course but don't dismiss them altogether.

Can I ask why you purchase precious metals that have VAT added ? Or do you have them stored in the vault ? 

Awful prices they set for the items they have anyway. Anything they have listed can find cheaper elsewhere 99 times out of 100. Haven’t found anything I like on that site where it’s been cheaper than elsewhere.

Get in touch with @ChrisSilverif you do but really glad this has caught on 👏

It will become a pyramid scheme at some point where every member does it and eventually every member receives something lol

I think I might do one next. Let’s see how drunk I get tonight and what I post later lol.

@TavexBullion is a member of the forum. Perhaps you could reach out to them directly for a response.

I’ve spoken to them on phone already ? 

So I’ve been taking to Tavex for the last few systems to buy some 5g Valicambi bars to fill my Valicambi red box was ordering and trustly  is awful. My bank rang me and warned me it could be fraud and locked my bank for abit to do checks on them but they seem to be a trusted dealer I think ? My plan was to purchase and pick up in person the website said it takes debit and credit cards but they don’t atm as they was hit by fraud I was told by of the worker guys. Seems abit iffy. The prices are amazing for them bars I can find them cheaper anyway else. Shame really as I would of been using them constantly. 

Will there be a video of the outcome with the counting and the sorting and the hey hey hey I wana win

You have his address. You could get creative 😉

240

With Boris resigning today in what way would that manipulate the gold price ?

Thinking of using them . The payment method is abit sketchy but I spoke to them on the phone and the guy was helpful. Might pop down there in the week to pick up in person. Estonia massive 🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️

Paypal are scumbags. Paypal have always been scumbags.  A real rogue organisation, although to be fair they have upped their game considerably since the very early days. Back in the early days (early 2000s) they locked my account not once but twice for absolutely no reason whatsoever and were completely uncontactable. Coincidentally this happened on both occasions when my ebay accounts of the time were hacked and I was permanently locked out of them. On both occasions I lost the balance in the account.  I am currently on my third Paypal account as a result and as much as I dislike using it, what choice do we have so much of the time and on so many occasions in this crappy modern age with the endless and constant creep of globalisation..

Ebay are scumbags.  Ebay have not always been on the same level of scumbagism ala Paypal, but they were never exactly what you might call a bastion of honourable trade.   Back in the early days it was probably a good bit safer to trade on ebay than it is now when it was mostly just joe bloggs from down the road selling his unwanted second hand tat.  When all these businesses started using it as a selling platform rather than an auction site as it had been around 10-15 years ago, it became so much more global in it's nature and so big that it could and can do apparently what it likes, that's when it really started to go downhill.

Royal Mail : well their reputation precedes them but provided you jump through the correct hoops you will usually always get most of your money back.  In this instance you didn't jump through the correct hoops and should have sent the coin by Special Delivery.  Did you not know you wouldn't be insured sending it via bog standard signed for?  They do explain that fact clearly enough on their website and give specific mention to items such as coins, currency, and other valuables.

I do sympathise with you and I'm sorry this has happened to you as I've had a few hair raising moments of my own on ebay over the years, and as with many others on here I am furious on your behalf, but against these faceless global entities we are all virtually powerless. 

The bottom line is that you'll probably lose out this time but hopefully learn the hard lesson and stay away from ebay unless you're looking for some trivial item like a hairbrush or a cheap screwdriver as it's infested with dishonest hustlers and crooks these days, especially in respect of trading rare and valuable items. In my own line of speciality on ebay I've seen many fake guitars pop up over the years bearing the names of Gibson and Fender and really looking the part,  and sometimes they can be very difficult to spot until after the event as you only have photographs to look at and a description from the seller. 

As stated in another thread just a few days ago I'm sick to death of ebay and what it has become and I'm almost completely done with it, with it's dodgy dealings and bloated fees, scripted customer service read by automatons, and the whole thing designed to protect and serve the interests of ebay itself rather than the customer.

As already suggested above - you have his address. You could always go and pay him a visit to get your refund...

Yeh PayPal back in 03/04/05 times were awful. I was a big seller on there when the Von Dutch hat craze was about. The customer service was awful and restricted to America online I believe in terms of contacting customer service. Ahhh the good old days of receiving cheques in the post and waiting 5-7 days to clear before sending out the items lol.

Put his address up in all phone boxes requesting that he is looking for a good time  and sells cheap gold.

When I saw it I spat out laughing in the train everyone looked at me like a weirdo lol. Classic moment.

On the listing the last pic of the four looks like he took the pic naked with his ball hanging out in the reflection of the gold lol.

His feedback rating is scary 😦 

I did some detective work but just seen I was beaten to it. They are listing the same bar with same picture as OP posted again .
