Oh dear indeed.

It’s a fair point, little and often can help equalise things in the long run.

😂👏

Welcome to TSF!

It’s really down to your preference. 1oz will mean, in theory lower premiums, but decrease liquidity. Fractional will mean, in theory higher premiums, but increase liquidity. Arguably though, if/when you come to resell, if you do so at a fair price point, they’ll likely sell either way, just might take a bit longer selling the 1oz. What you could find, is that if you do decide to go down the fractional route, then the higher premiums you’ve paid, can be passed on when it comes to selling them on in a private sale, say to someone on TSF. Broadly speaking they’d understand that fractional carry a bit of a higher premium, but as long as they can see it’s still cheaper than a dealer. Very broad brush advice I know, sorry. Personally, I’m going down the fractional Brit route., just on the fence between 0.5oz or 0.25oz’s. Though I’ve seen how quickly sovereigns get snapped up on TSF, so if liquidity is something you value highly, then full sovereigns is a very good option. (When I say sovereigns, I mean proper sovereigns from the Royal Mint)

Fully deserves to pay that much and a whole ton more. Knew what he was doing. “As well as complaints over the prize's authenticity, some questioned how much the can was worth, with Brewdog claiming it was valued at £15,000. The ASA said Brewdog told investigators that a single 330ml can, made with the equivalent 330ml of pure gold, would have a gold value of about $500,000 (£363,000) at the time in October 2021. But the watchdog considered a general audience was unlikely to be aware of the price of gold, "how that would translate into the price of a gold can, and whether that was inconsistent with the valuation as stated in the ad". Mr Watt reiterated in his LinkedIn post on Saturday that the "valuation of £15,000 per can was accurate"”. I’m blown away - £15,000, accurate? How is the general audiences awareness of gold prices even relevant?

There’s two angles here.. There’s one - let’s call it personal privacy, minimising / or at least trying to make it more difficult for information to be garnered about purchases and what people do with their fiat. Minimising, not removing, because lets face it - I’m sure there would be some way to find out the original postings said. The second - there could be people out there that use TSF to get a good price and subsequently capitalise on it. Some people may feel that by having the original posted or purchased amount it could impact the resale of the item when they come to re-list.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought about someone asking for that to be done, but I can get it. 👌

I’ve got more than £1 difference upwards.. happened last weekend did it not? Price shot up a bit on opening.

Is it just me, there’s a disconnect between the spot price at the top left of the site, compared to the chart?

Thanks

And A-Holes.

No science behind this AT ALL, but I’m going to say we’ll finish the week on a sideways movement.

Where do you buy them from?

Welcome to TSF! I’d recommend upgrading your membership to make sure you get to see the best deals sooner. By the time they’re available to be seen by non Premium members, the best deals are typically gone.

Ah! Rubbish. Sorry to hear that!

Here we go again, we’ve got to hear about your printer again @SheepStacker I’m sure that contributed up to about 10 of the NBS pages.. 🫣

How did you end up getting on, everything go ok?

Well said.

I’ve seen you post something along those lines on another part of the forum and I think it’s definitely a sensible approach. Some wont like the higher premiums involved, but that’s the trade off for the liquidity isn’t it.

I’ve not bought loads, but when I have, I’ve messaged the person I’ve bought them from, unless they’ve reached out first to say that it’s due to be delivered. I think it was @SheepStacker that reached out.. I thought that was a nice touch. 1, to let them know. 2, to say thanks. It’s not hard or time consuming is it really, but can go a long way with building relationships I think/hope.
