Hello from south Wales. Moved here from London 32 years ago. Have been gathering gold and silver since 2018 - go figure (not that you all need to)!! Thank God I have landed here - phew! Now all I have to do is read... Any welcomes, advice, hunkering down news will be met with gratitude : )

Welcome aboard @Km93
Once your a bit more familiar I'd suggest a couple of things and I'm sure more will add...
Decide what you want to stack if you haven't already, it's a slippery, expensive but imho rewarding slope Documentation, a number of members have uploaded examples on how record your purchases, trades etc. Storage, options on capsules, grading, safes, safety deposit boxes, treasure maps and boating accidents to name but a few... Postage, RMSD is pretty much the default or buyers risk Payment, Bank Transfer or PayPal F&F are generally accepted on TSF once you've built up a good reputation. Defo familiarise yourself with the forum and be prepared for a few evenings reading up... you'll get all your answers and some just by investing a bit of time.

 

I posted this as a reply in the trade section, I hope the mods don’t mind it here. It’s a good idea to read the forum ‘rules’ before posting as this will guide you but here’s my 2 pence:
Dudes and dudettes, as a friendly piece of advice; web forums generally have an unspoken etiquette whereby old threads (necro-threads, “holy thread resurrection Batman!” etc) are not replied to unless something super poignant/relevant will really add to the conversation. That way new threads aren’t drowned out with old content and the forum is kept relatively neat. Nothing wrong with reading old stuff, I encourage it in fact as it helps users to learn good info, but if you have a question or a point to make then it’s usually best to start your own thread. With the trade section of a precious metal forum this is even more prevalent as the price of the stuff we like so much fluctuates, sometimes wildly. A seller will usually list as ‘completed’ if the sale isn’t still ongoing but often not, and once a certain amount of time passes they lose the ability to do so. If a sales thread is more than a few weeks old it’s likely not active.
The intention here is not to mock, just thought it may help.
