UUUM, i didn't say terrible 🤷‍♀️ that's a bit weird!!!!! I said s.h.i.t

It's the norty word removal software installed in case you have a meltdown and go full on Crocodile Dundee about something. It'll turn all your expletives into something like 'Well, I'm jolly well perturbed and I have to say ever so slightly put out dear chap but I'll toddle off and have my tea and biscuits and be back in a jiffy!'

The returned item was nothing like the original 1/4oz gold proof Krugerrand coin that was sold, the buyer returned a Christmas card with Polar bears on 🧐

Oh that's crazy. Shows how low some people are willing to stoop to get one over on someone. Disgusting that. Definitely time to roll out 100 pizzas, preferably with a 3am delivery. It'd be worth paying for them just to get the things delivered - early doors! Just choose toppings no one in their right mind likes, or the buggers might eat them.

Strictly speaking, no. Anyone else willing to condense the whole convoluted story? 🤣

I'll have a read sometime. When I've got three hours 😅

tl;dr, there's nothing to claim for in the courts because the seller has already been allowed to keep their money.

Was the returned coin fake after all?

Small claims court if he's playing silly buggers. Tell him that's where he'll end up if he doesn't start behaving.

Thoughts please…I’m considering trading either 8 or 16 gold 1oz Britannia’s for 250gram or 500 gram Gold Metalor Bar. Very conscious that the coins are CGT free whilst the bars are not. Just interested in thoughts. Pics below. And yes - in secure vault. 

So you sold the bars to buy the Brits to think about selling the Brits to buy some bars? I've got a hula hoop for sale if you want?😄

I agree with @James32 he knows how to store gold as he has about 92380923 metric tonnes of the stuff.

What's in his other pocket lol

Free bump although from the theme of the thread I should say free bum.

Oooooo naughty. Offer him a freebie and send him a turd.

Yes and not even to my address it took two people to locate which house it was sent to 😳😂

Oh well if you've got his address its 100 pizzas time! Taxi's at 3am telling them to knock as loud as possible because you're stone deaf, sign him up to gay-boob weekly, Grinder dates  - tell them you're a sure thing if they strip naked on the doorstep, removal firms booked, stick his car on free ads for £100 quid, claim suicidal tendencies to the Samaritans and have the police cart him off to be sectioned, get him some gainful employment by applying on his behalf, gay escorting perhaps. Ect ect ect.

Just now, James32 said:

Yeah fun fact,  the buyer returned a fekin Christmas card 😆 🤣 

Hopefully it's a limited edition 1800s signed by Charlie Dickens's himself. Maybe not. Probably one of those pop out boob cards playing 'We Like To Party!'

I sold a beautiful 1/4oz gold proof Krugerrand on Ebay surely nothing could go wrong it was perfect.

Then two days later without any warning Ebay inform me that the buyer wants to return the coin because it has a scratch 😔

He had uploaded a very small blurred picture and the coin or capsule had a mark on it.

I gave the go ahead for a return and paid for the return post. What will happen if the coin he returns is a fake ? What action can I take to protect myself from a scam if he returns a fake coin ? I have a feeling that this is what is going to happen.

Has anyone had a similar problem on ebay ?

 

Just send him a quick message saying your coin has an ultraviolet security mark and that it will be verified upon receipt of the return. Then ask if he still wants to go through with the return. You might find he loses interest in returning it at all. It wont matter that the mark never existed, he wont know that.

Hello everyone,

I would need your opinions on something.

Today I received a 2022 King Charles III gold sovereign, from a very reputable vendor (several big banks over here offer gold products from them).

Almost immediately I noticed that the rim is uneven. It is perhaps more apparent on the obverse:

 

I am slightly terrified that this is a fake... since according to some sources, this is a sign for something like that. E.g.: https://www.chards.co.uk/guides/fakes-forgeries-and-counterfeit-gold-coins-and-sovereigns/167

 

Q.: Have you ever seen an uneven rim like this on real sovereigns, especially recent ones? 

 

Thanks for your comments in advance!

 

 

 

I don't think its fake but I do think its eww! I'd want another to satisfy my OCD. I don't have OCD but if I had that coin I would.

So someone mentioned some property to me, and it occurred to me that I have approx. that much in gold. This got me thinking hypothetically, and for real for many folk, what's the most financially efficient way of liquidating £20+ k of gold? Mostly CGT free.

I'm curious what you guys think, or if you have done this before. If you have, what did you do and what would you do differently?

Maybe swap the gold for the property.
