    So, you ask for help & advice. 
    You are given good advice & step by step guide exactly what to do, by several different folk here who have done it or are doing it for a living/side hustle  
    My reply was simply pointing out it used to be a common courtesy when i was a lad to at least thank those have helped & advised you for free
    ........ gee even there's even an emoji button with a of a cup for "thanks" if you cant take the 5 seconds to type "thank you" out by hand

    As I said, the bar is nice but pretty derivative in design (my opinion).
    Good luck with the product, I hope it sells well for you

    Back yard bullion.I am not willing to go back and forth with you and have 1,000 sentences in exchange. 
     
    So what I propose is that Nextdaybullion and Backyardbullion have a professional gentleman's live YouTube discussion and debate on the UK bullion market, and any topics, for example, like the Oxford Mint, can be discussed. I can arrange an intermediary channel to arrange the discussion. 
     
    I have a few questions to ask you, and by the looks of it, you have some questions to ask me.🤔
    I am not ''quite'' in any way, but I am happy to express my 14 years of physical bullion trading and my proprietary trading experience on precious metals.
     
    I see you only started in 2016, so your experience in the sector is very limited, and with some of the content you bring out, it shows, and this may be a good education experience for you.
    I hope you take this up; if not, you will be the one who is quiet.   (being quite quiet about all this?)
    If you accept, please email me, and I will start making the arrangements. I am sure there will be lots of people interested in viewing this.

    The topic in question was A Beautiful Bar What Do You Think ?   The company bank balance has no significant reference to do with the design or about the product. If the balance sheet was £10 million, why would that make a difference to the bullion item?   The TSF post was for UK bullion consumers and TSF members to get a chance to look at this new item and the new range coming soon.   Back yard bullion.I am not willing to go back and forth with you and have 1,000 sentences in exchange.    So what I propose is that Nextdaybullion and Backyardbullion have a professional gentleman's live YouTube discussion and debate on the UK bullion market, and any topics, for example, like the Oxford Mint, can be discussed.

    There has been occasions where standard bullion Brits for example were hitting the £27+ mark here on the forum. 
    Yes we are flooded with silver and gold for that matter here on tsf but I think come May June time there will be more appetite from buyers.
    It's every dog,woman and child for themselves and to set a market rate for ag won't work. The cheapest will always prevail.

    Groundup reacted to arphethean in Monster Box Silver 2022 Brits sealed   
    I'll speak some home truths
    Speaking from experience, selling at a loss is a huge psychological barrier. But hold it for two years and sell at the same price you paid you would not be breaking even, you would be losing 10%+ against inflation. So even though it feels like you've recouped your investment, you haven't really.
    To be in the black with silver you'd have to sell around £25-£26. And I'm afraid that is unlikely to transpire soon. 
    Silver has been a dreadful performing asset for many years due to manipulation.
    Think of it like this - you lost the money when you bought it, not when you sell it. Move on and put your money into something that will work harder for you.

    Groundup reacted to sixgun in Has the secondary silver market hit the market saturation point.   
    A monster box will always be a hard sell on the forum - the obvious thing would be to break it up or fine it just doesn't shift.
    i was watching a video this morning where Steve St. Angelo and Bob Coleman were talking about prices, the retail / wholesale markets and COMEX in silver. Bob Coleman runs a US precious metal depository and Steve St Angelo is a commentator. 
    Their views are very US centric. There was no mention of the Global South and how India is vacuuming up silver at the moment. This isn't happening in their world and somehow or other Bob Coleman thinks the US stacker market is influencing the silver price. St Angelo thought people were selling silver to get into US Treasuries - which is beyond deluded.
    The price of silver is rising - there is buying pressure in the 100's and 1000's of tonnes especially from India.
    i don't actually think there are that many people here who are on the buy for silver. There is a good deal of gold and silver coming up for sale. i wonder if members are thinking now is a good time to sell and those who trade are getting metal offered to them. i don't really have any idea what it is like in the UK at the moment but i get the impression times are hard for a good few. The temptation is there to sell and so the market balance shifts. What happens on the TSF is a reflection on what is happening with private collectors but no reflection on the world. So if members are growing jaded this doesn't mean the price of silver is about to crash; there will be corrections but price rises are inevitable. It may well be the price is too rich for some people here and they are dropping out.  
    It would be interesting to have a poll - are you net buying / selling / treading water when it comes to silver.
    Personally i keep buying - some here, usually older bars and some silver inside the EU. The GS ratio is still over 85 - and this is cheap to me, so i keep topping up almost as a reflex.

    Groundup reacted to westminstrel in Royal Mint Music Legends George Michael 2024   
    Poor George Michael was always given a hard time for being caught in the act for that one infamous incident, whereas it’s common knowledge that people do that all the time, every day and everywhere, including married men, and those in law enforcement too.
    But it’s easy to turn a blind eye on the nobodies when there’s an easily available scapegoat, especially one who’s gay.
    George Michael was a terrific musician and one the UK should be proud to have produced. And he was brave and true to himself, which is more than can be said of a lot of people.
    I never got into the Music Legend series but I will get this coin as he’s a hero in my book. ♥️🖤

    Regarding eBay, even though I don't sell or buy PM's on eBay I know a few on here do...I have noticed a change with regards to email notifications, now it includes the sellers full Name and address... Something that I think sellers of PMs and privacy lovers should be concerned about.
