Really like the new Christmas tree 5g Gold Bar released by the royal mint this year. Was wondering though, is it worth just buying it for £320 from the mint or will major dealers have them in stock soon (since I checked bullionbypost, atkinsons and chards but only saw 1g version at all (even listed as out of stock))? Was just asking since I don’t want to miss out on this stunning new design, but also don’t want to buy it if I can get one for £20-40 cheaper in the coming weeks if big dealers start selling them too.
I would appreciate any tips or insight here. Thanks in advance!

That’s good news. I don’t have a sigma though so a little worried about fakes. Maybe that is irrational though since it is a brand new design so any fakes would have to be quite quick to get any produced. As long as the seller has good reviews I’m sure I will be fine. Thanks.

I can guarantee there geniune if bought from an established member on here, besides a large portion of us have sigma, so you will get tested pictures in advance of postage. 
 

Yes I totally agree with @James32 - ask for a picture of the 5g bar on their sigma. 

Post the wanted ad and people will chip in, you’ll get vouches for established sellers. At least you will have peace of mind and it’s visible to the forum publicly.
Wish you the best on your purchase sir 👍🏽

Note: No fixings or wall mountings are pre-fixed or drilled into the pieces (you will have to find a frame for it or drill through it and put it on the wall yourself). Also, none of these are varnished wood.
Dimensions: for portrait orientation pieces (18cm width & 27cm height), and for landscape orientation pieces (27cm width & 18cm height).
(Looking to sell these in the near future. Will wait till Sunday evening this week and if no PMs, will list these elsewhere.)

There are plenty of fakes to be found on eBay, you just have to be careful and not go with something that looks dodgy, off, or is from a seller with very low or questionable feedback/reviews. That is what you can do for the most part (just look for the telltale signs, and if something feels off, just skip it since it isn't worth the hassle).

Will do. I am just going to buy from wherever is the cheapest premium over spot for the Pt one (either gold.co.uk, bullionbypost, chards or atkinsons in all likelihood). I know how big each one is as I have made to scale replicas/placeholders so I have an accurate idea of scale before I buy them. Thanks!

Just make sure to keep the invoices and buy from a reputable source ( bairdmint.com is good) then when the time comes to sell, you will have little problems.
