If the price keeps on an upward trajectory for sustained period of time, I do see folks who are in accumulation mode buying smaller bits and pieces but also the premiums on fractional coming down also. Anyone who is selling and seeing a 100% profit, should not be too concerned at wringing every penny out, that’s the way I view it anyways. 

No

Over $2000

Thanks to both @Fenlander1 and @NGMD for today's arrivals!

Nothing overly special, just a cheap auction win whilst bullion is high and proofs aren't performing:

Also the NGC are trying their hardest to bring a grown man to tears. Hoping to be third time lucky for a 70 lion next time.

Lovely addition to my mecicam addiction. 
Thanks @Nick1368for a great service 

Thanks to @SovereignStacker4 and @Auronum

Arrived today and very pleased with it. Always a little unsure off of eBay but pleasant experience

Back from holiday to open this lovely lady.
Keeps the date run up to date

Todays arrivals, the Ozzy would not normally be of the quality I would buy but it was a (rare) date I did not have at a price I could not resist
 
 

Your 2002 set is a special golden jubilee edition and will have a premium on top. The others will sell a bit more than bullion does if in good nick, if you sell on here. @Pete sold some sets a few years ago and wished he had bought bullion originally (from dealers I believe) , even buying on secondary market.
As mentioned, dealers will slap a bit of a premium on non special year sets when selling on their and some people will still buy them. If you buy a normal release set direct from the royal mint you are putting a high premium straight down the toilet. (Unless gold itself rises by 50% etc)

I've been on eBay since 1998 and done over half million separate/individual sales so wise to things, never had one charge back or hassle. Two bulk buys just red flagged me as dodgy and i refunded payment stating bank transfer only one paid was ignored/scammer..the one who paid actually bought around 600 Oz a tube or so every month that saved me on fees
I also had a tube of x25oz returned to me by royal mail as not collected from sorting office and I'm still waiting to rearrange delivery so take your pick what happened there ! Prison? Death? Murdered? Moved abroad? Evicted? 
All in all no issues really whatsoever. But yes, lots of admin when stuff is cheap
When stuff is listed dear it's a few orders a day going out, when you're cheapest on the eBay market and default 1oz coin in best match results, so can easily do 100oz in a day 

Meanwhile ...  £1634.19.
Just in case Chris comes along....

Small file, Brillo Pad and powdered Vim- back up for sale as PF70.

I have asked Google about paper vs physical silver ratio and apparently is 250 to 1.
I have asked Google about paper vs physical gold ratio and apparently is anywhere between 200-250 to 1.
Those ratios look very similar, @250 to 1.
.
I should stop here, but I can't...your analogy is wrong!
JP Morgan building's height is 153m.
The height of an average man in UK is @1.775m and for an average woman is 1.644m, so the height of an average UK person is @1.71m.
Doing the calculations, the ratio between JPMorgan building and you is only @98.5 to 1.
Just sayin'...🤗

Another fine delivery from the masters of customer service at Tavex

I almost bought these tubes! This could of happened to anyone. The person has been a member for a long time and also had a number of positive feedback. Drop me your address if things don’t get sorted and I will send you a couple of bits from my stack. Be a shame for you to completely quit stacking after one bad experience. It’s all about living & learning and the fact that you are even looking into precious metals shows that you want to better your future, so don’t give up now mate 

Really sorry this had happened to you.
Should you not be able to get your money back I would like to offer a few bits of silver as a gesture.  Its not much as I don't stack silver but a couple of nice poured pieces, some fractional proofs, a proof 1937 crown and a lonely brit.  Let me have your address on pm once you know and I will get it posted to you.  Its an eclectic mix but a couple of interesting pieces 

Cadbury?

I would love wonga to know what a legend he has become on the forum. Legendary post. Along with “sold all my gold, got stung”

A stash of goodies
It’s been a yo-yo time with collecting, a few nice things, a bit of old school Sovs, Sparkly novelties and things I hope I won’t get bored of in 30 seconds. No promises.Buy the dip, Trade and Sell.
****Must buy CGT Free,Must…..*** Oooo look at that foreign coin😁
