  1. So it was £65 for the Completer, but how much for the movie rights? 🤣
  2. Says on the original post that it's only valued at £2, so this is obviously a scam. £635
  3. I'm buying rather than selling currently, but would be interested in learning more about the store as I'm often in central Manchester. Thanks.
  4. Yes, I struggle here too. (so may have got the terminology wrong), but I always saw it just as a form of gambling. I'll borrow your 1ozt and sell (short) it a further 9 times in the expectation the price will fall. That's what I'm gambling on. If it does, happy days, I cover the short by purchasing the 10 ozt (1x original borrowed, plus 9x sales) at a lower price and I pocket the difference. No problem at all with that. And if they're made to cover their losses in the event they bet wrong, great. Better luck next time. The problem is surely that they get to muck about with the parameters of the bet before it gets settled. If I bet on a sporting event and it's not going my way, I'm not allowed to change the rules in my favour. I don't know why derivatives / shorts etc. are different.
  5. I love those little fellas. Beautiful looking bars.
  6. Not sure really. I'll just put it down to making conversation and shooting the breeze. Occasionally, the clacking of my fingers on the keyboard quietens the voices in my head.
  7. Quick note of explanation up front (before I start rambling on in earnest). This is not a "should I invest in silver" thread or even a "is silver better than gold (or vice versa)". This is more about the very range of extreme opinions that seem to be out there about silver in particular. Gold is considered by most people to be a 'safe' investment. A store of wealth, hedge against inflation, money over currency etc. Opinions are generally balanced on the subject of stacking gold and all things being equal, it's considered to be a pretty sensible thing to be doing with your FIAT, if you don't have debts to pay down. Silver on the other hand. Well it's a complete free-for-all in terms of opinions as to 'why', 'how' and 'how much'. It'd be a fair challenge to suggest I'm preaching to the converted on The Silver Forum, but even on here I've seen people suggest that any rationale for silver stacking is ultimately flawed... 'it will never be needed in barter circumstances,' 'the premiums don't make it a sensible stacking option', 'why even try and contend with the VAT' and 'forget any thoughts of it going to the moon'. And yet, for others silver it's the holy grail. "Just look at the ratio... silver's got to move up." "They can't manipulate it forever and then it's anyone's guess how high the price will go" And then there's those folks that are duking it out with the YouTube algorithm, with their must-click video headlines of "First £167 an oz, before a reset and then £5000+ an oz", and there are plenty of them out there. I suppose the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all that. Or does it? Maybe one of the edge cases will be proved right? In any event, diversification is a core tenet of any investment strategy so on that basis alone, it's got to make sense to own both, right! And I do; happily. But picking up that sovereign always feels sensible and grown up and proper. Like gold is the girl you meet and know you'll marry the first time you see her. Whereas buying another tube of silver Brits feels more... (not risky, that's definitely not it) but... your heart flutters that little bit faster and you question your motives. Like silver is the red-head that you know will leave you in a heap like a broken marionette, but you'll treasure forever the memory of those fleeting moments when she was pulling your strings. Dunno. Maybe I'm letting all the noise discombobulate me. As I say, this isn't about any single opinion on stacking silver... just a curiosity as to the variance in those opinions. From outright lunacy to feverish envangelism. FNF.
  8. I have a long-suffering uncle. Seeing him and my aunt when I was a kid was a good schooling in what was important in a relationship... and what to avoid. "Dragon of the old school" indeed.
  9. Just out of interest on the RM website... what's the difference between 'Sold Out' and 'No longer available'?
  10. I have to say, these always look amazing. 😍 Would love to own one - or even bigger size - one day. Sadly, today is not that day. Uncle Pennybags is refusing to take my calls at present. ☹️ GLWS!
  11. Thanks to Gold Bullion Co. for delivery of more of what is surely now the de facto sovereign. 😈 😂 The COA was a nice touch. First time dealing with them. Very happy.
  12. And @modofantasma does a 'hold my beer' on the other end, picking them up! 😂
  13. Wait till she finds out you lost it all on that boating trip...
  14. There are lots of the "Don't tell my wife" types of tropes that tend to spring up around any hobby / passtime that involves spending money. I feel they can 'tarnish' the reputation of stacking / collecting / investing as an activity - making it out as something that can't be enjoyed and explored together; but it also cheapens the relationships themselves. It's the same as the welcome mats and door signs designed for Amazon and UPS deliveries... "Hide packages from husband." Surely, we can do better? Anyway, in completely unrelated news, I had my first experience of an online Precious Metals auction today. For God's sake, don't tell the wife!! 😂
  15. Indeed. Glad I'm attracted to the Godless at £200 - £300 and not the other gothic ones that are well outside my resources! 🤑
  16. I tuned in live. Plenty of action. Plenty of interest in that 1854.
  17. Tavex have 2022 Memorial sovereigns for Pre-order at £400 Despatch April 24 https://tavexbullion.co.uk/gold/great-britain-memorial-sovereign-2022/
