I get what you mean but who doesn’t like a .3564g on a spread sheet?? 

You sound like an accountant 🤣

I bought a couple of sovs, but now realize taking them all on the maiden voyage of my old boat was a stupid mistake! 

Hi, have a look at the various forums and read, read, read 😉

You won't go far wrong then, lots if helpful people here and @HerefordBullyun 🤣

Welcome to the madhouse

Welcome, pro tip, what you need is a hoover and reactions of the speed of light to grab the bargains on here 🤣

If you look at the salaries they offer, you might think the Royal Mint believes that too.

A mate is a manager there and for years they have been pushing a rolling redundancy program and only replacing people with Temps and not permanent staff.

I  know another guy who went to work there and had been a temp for three years last time I saw him, he couldn't apply for a mortgage as he wasn't permanent,  I would guess if you had been there for years and not treated very well, your attention to detail and quality procedures would not be top of your list day to day, more likely turn up, get paid, go home.

4 in stock at lpm hk for 2,780 usd

If you ordered from HK I guss you would pay import tax (Uk) as well as vat as it's not bullion?

I saw James little gold bar the other day, but it had already sold, looked gorgeous though.

I think it must be the Italian job from when I was a kid, always fancied a stack of gold bars Lol

Bit of a nightmare for the forum. What do you do?

1. Do you send the original invoice to the buyer (risk is that it gets lost in the post with the PMs)?
2. Take a copy and send a physical copy to the buyer by post (then the buyer doesn't have the original, unless you send it afterwards as a letter)?
3. Scan the invoice and send that electronic copy to the buyer after receipt of good (still means it isn't the original)?
4. Decide to only sell to a dealer from now on?
5. Continue with the risk and hope that it doesn't come to this situation?
6. Open a sole trader company and use that to produce invoices with (tax man will love you)?

Sadly, all of my bullion was lost at sea or is made of chocolate wrapped in tin foil.

Only use Chards from now on, then no hassle and superb service 😉

no, not a good enough reason to be pedantic i'm afraid, wrong addressing/labelling and lying about it or selling badly described items maybe, but just because they aint sat at their pc or phone 24/7 is no reason for negative feedback

I don't know about others, but I get few  emails telling me I have a message or there is something new on the forum, so unless your proactive in repeatedly checking, which can be difficult at times when in work, then I can see how there could be delays answering messages.

Ok, another update on the missing 1/4 gold brit. Long story short, if i havnt heard anything from the post office by the 4th of November i need to contact them. Take your time Royal mail, its only £400 🙄.

 

Just another thing about feedback. 

Im doing everything i can to do deals with people on here and make them go as smooth as possible. As i plan on staying on this forum for a long time. And feedback means a lot if buying and selling. Even i check sellers feedback before buying from them.

Ive bought 2 coins from 2 sellers recently with a combined cost of £800.

Both sellers have massive feedback. Both who got + from me.

But nothing from them.

Not cool when im trying to get a trusted rep on here.

You know who you are!

Rant over.

 

Rich 🙂

 

 

 

Aye, theres one or two I am missing feedback off of several people, despite numerous prompts!

Add me to the waiting list please 🙏

What's a mystery box, or is it a secret as well as a mystery 🤔

When you say you have 100k available do you mean if you remortgage? 

If so watch your loan to value as if we do have a crash borrowing 100k of 'equity' would possibly put you outside of your agreed deposit to value. 

If you want to park it a friend of mine who is an experienced property invester was offering very good rates as he was pushing developments, I did some bridging for him recently, repaid no problem.

practical tip no1 

Topcashback everything, if you buy anything on line use this.  The Mrs has had 3.5k cash back, works with loads of websites, ebay 1.5% cash back.  I even got 3.3% cash back on the 3 Graces coins I bought form the mint.   Just got £150 on my mobile phone, worked out cheaper to get the phone on contract and get the £150 back than buy the phone outright like I did in the past.  I always get £120-£150 back when I change my TV/broad band.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not heard of that, need to enlighten myself more with online things like that, usually takes the son in law to put me onto things I need to know Lol

As has already been mentioned fuel is the first thing I noticed recently, seems to be up 25% and food, we did a big stock up shop and I was gobsmacked how much it was, combine that with energy this year and many families are going to be squeezed, the. 25% interest rates is bladders compared to where rates should be to back to normal, the last few decades have crippled pensioners who relied on savings and interest.

A pro coin collector tip, my only fear in life is if I die, my wife will sell my coins for what I told her I paid for them!

I am hoping for something like this:

 

That's a stunning coin. 

I think it's 20% vat on imports, but they should drop the European tax off the order I believe? 

I'm looking to get one too, don't know if they would discount a group buy, if anyone else was tempted?
