When there's £400 quid's worth of gold on the table I'm not taking my eye off it, even while its walking off.

Exactly my thinking. My word against his with no proof he didn't hand it over.

I bought a sovereign from Costco this afternoon. All went well until I noticed the staff member serving me putting the sovereign I was paying for into his jeans pocket while I was filling in the purchase form. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as I hadn't finished paying for it at that point and thought perhaps he was just being overly cautious. I completed the paperwork, paid for the sovereign and then he handed me the receipt and my membership card back, said thanks and started to walk off. I gave him a few seconds to see if he'd remember that he still had the sovereign I'd just paid in his pocket. Nothing. No response. So I shouted after him 'Sovereign!' And he instantly went straight into his pocket and fished it out and handed it over. There's was no apology, just a smile and he went on his way. I'm wondering if it's worth making a complaint to Costco management about this or just put it down to c**p customer service. Opinions appreciated.

Free bump for the super cool hold-my-beer casual pile of old gold. 🤣

Sovereigns or cash. Either way you're onto a good thing. 😃

Enough there to wake anyone's inner Gollum 🤪

Thats a fine haul o' doubloons. A fine haul indeed. I hope ye keep 'em safe away from prying eyes 'n plunderin' hands 'n keep 'em fer a rainy day.

Fake gold is in abundance on eBay with virtually no remit for the buyer other than eBay refunding. I bet there's pots of eBay bought gold out there hidden away by happy buyers oblivious to their retirement plan being saturated by gold plate and tungsten. Some of it is so fake its screaming yet it still gets bids. I'm waiting for someone to really take the p and list a hand carved wooden coin sprayed gold. Someone'll buy it.

I went through every room a couple of years ago and piled stuff together I hadn't used in years. Stuck it on eBay and was surprised how quickly it sold. Although I wouldn't list anything of much value on there. Too many scammers. Great for doing online car-booting to clear brick-a-brack though. imo

Victim level - complete. Gaslighting level - complete. Jumping before pushed - level complete. Also, if the poor seller is going to defend himself his poor penmanship makes him look even more of a muppet.

When you have the chance of riding in a rolls (here) why bum along in a Citroen (eBay) Also less chance here of 'I visit you from airplane in sky. We do deal that day in carpark. You bring gold. I bring cash. Bring wife. I take wife too.' eBay is for selling old clothes and wellies as for as I'm concerned. 😆

Just check your account is still open and active. This exact thing happened to a friend and when the issue was 'resolved' the bank muppet pressed the wrong button and accidentally closed my friend's account. Not kidding. Best triple check everything concerning bank issues.

Ahoy! Me latest haul o' gold doubloons. Two half sovereigns 'n a full one straight from the coffers o' the British empire.

Probably have a brain chip forcing compliancy by then with AI frying everyone for kicks 🤣

Interesting read. I enjoyed that. Personally I'd rather have a system in place where inflation doesn't exist and I can barter to secure gold to see me through my old age in my fairy tale lands. Probably won't happen now. Instead I'll be converted to a T1000 with a chip in my hand to scan myself like a tin of baked beans at a Tesco checkout to pay for goods and services.

And only been 'Finley used' apparently. Does Finley know his sov is a Sexton Blake? 😅

Here's my nice little half sovereign. Looks good to me. The only thing I don't like about it is it makes me want more of them.

Let's not forget the credit chip in the hand technology with a patient number of something something 666 lol. The Swedish love it and are using it already. It'll soon be as essential as the mobile phone to everyday living. Probably why the banks are screwing everybody over every which way to get them so fed up with current finance that they'l all be slavering after the new DC.

We've got it easy for the moment compared to when digi-currency gets floated. Whatever you don't spend gets reabsorbed for the greater good. If you're fat you can't spend on choccies, if you like your hols they'll be limited to your personal carbon footprint ratio, and if you like driving it'll be limited to certain areas at certain times and buying petrol outside of your friend-zone will be refused. Or something like that. 🤪

Wow. A genuine unsigned Pastrami. Worth it's weight in gold 🤣

Something spooked your bank in my no idea what's going on opinion. Best to suck up to them in as grovelly a way possible, after all, they control your money, not you. 😅 As long as there's no fraud going on, you'll be ok. I think. Mind you they shut down a friend's account for a £1500 purchase from the Rm. Nice of them lol. She got things sorted but in the meantime try buying a double latte frapachino when your card gets declined. Embarrassing. Best to keep some cash handy when you want to gamble with actually spending your own money with reputable traders. It's a high risk game these days.

Oh lol I've just realised that. I'm deleting and retreating.

... said every first time gold purchaser ever! 😅 Also try half sovs. They'll look like frisbees when the gold fever settles in and the bank balance won't stretch to a full one. 😂

If you stick it in a foam mount in an acrylic capsule it'll soon be the size of a one ouncer. Add a wooden box and soon your gold cupboard, shoebox, vacuum bag will be chockablock with ... well a load of wood and plastic.
