Welcome @Toasag!!
For buying it's hard to put everything in one comment but the main thread to follow is this one:
UK (Ungraded) - The Silver Forum
If you are buying gold or making purchases that will make a material difference to you, say anything > £200, you should be selective about who you buy from. As a general rule if you go here and look at the top 15 sellers, all of them are solid, many of them are professional bullion dealers with their own businesses (you can see who is a business or private seller from their profile):
Trading Feedback - The Silver Forum
I started off cautiously and only bought from members with lots of perfect feedback. Once you hang out on TSF for a while, interact with people and see how folks conduct themselves in the buy/sell, then you can expand your horizons. You will find small private sellers with excellent deals on silver/gold and these are the best people to buy from, many of them, somewhat ironically, hang out in the Naughty Boy Step
Any members who have thousands of posts and have been here for a couple of years are safe to buy from. Truthfully everybody is safe to buy from with the exception of maybe 5 people (all of whom have been banned) over the past several years. You can see this from the feedback trading stats as Stefffana posted, only 31 negative from 48,000 trades (<0.01%)
Make sure to pay by bank transfer and not PayPal or crypto unless you trust the person you are dealing with
It might also be prudent to only buy from people who both BUY and SELL (except for businesses who may exclusively be sellers). Again if something goes wrong somebody on the forum will have the seller's name and address plus bank details

better late then never 🐵

A bit late to the party 🥳, a very warm welcome to you. 

Lol

What recommendations do you have when it comes to buying? Are there specific threads i need to follow to look out for deals? Any key search terms I should use? I’m not too familiar with the user interface as I don’t usually interact in forums. Any advice would be appreciated. 😊

I must say, this is an interesting way of trading online. It nice seeing the community regulate itself as opposed to market places like Ebay or Amazon where it’s regulated by the company.
I do wonder, how often are people scammed? BYB just made a video about a trusted seller scamming buyers 🤔.

Hello, I’m new here. I’ve joined primarily with the intention to sell some precious metals I have, what’s the best way to go about doing that?

I would take this as at over 100, I myself have quite a way to go! 🙂

Not necessary trading feedback over 100. But to be an established forum member, active on forum and known by others. 
Just sayin'...🤗
 

Like me..just sayin

Thanks man.
interestingly I did reach out to BYB very recently, the fee he quoted wasn’t “very low” for what I wanted sold. But he was generous enough to recommend I sell to dealer’s instead like Atkinsons and BBP to get better offers, I ended up finding a really good deal locally anyway.
Thanks again for your expert advice, I’ll be sure to heed it for any future endeavours. 😊

Welcome to the forum!
@stefffana has pretty much given you a solid guide to selling on here as a new member. Membership will defiantly help your cause in selling. If something is listed with a price that is too high or low, some of the more experianced members are very likely to wave a flag for you and help out.
Best of luck with your selling endeavors, you may even be tempted by some of the other listings and add to you stack!

Welcome to the forum😮you have come to the right place! Great place for buying, selling or information. If you heed @stefffanas comments, you won’t go too far wrong👍

Welcome to the madhouse.

Welcome aboard 

Yes, I have done this before. It is important to check carefully the history of the members you are dealing to. If their reputation is at a very high level, it is risk free.
If you are in doubts, @BackyardBullion offers intermediary services at a very low fees and many members on here sold their items supported by him.🤗

Thanks man.

I have a limit on the number of reactions I can give, so this is me extending my appreciation to everyone who’s given me a warm welcome. Thank you all.

Thank you.
