I see you've confused virtue signalling with intellectual debate

3) Doesn't matter if you are a business or a private individual, if you import silver into the UK then you must pay 20% VAT. It's not possible to buy or sell new silver in the UK without paying VAT. The point is there are a number of people, mostly foreigners, who quite obviously don't pay VAT. The difference in margin allows VAT fraudsters to undercut legitimate sellers and still make MORE profit than legit sellers. It's great for buyers but kills legit businesses and reduces the value of your silver in the UK

More VAT cheats the better if you ask me. 

Cheaper silver all round 🥳🥳🥳

Who is moaning we were having a reasonable debate, my question wasn't is it right or wrong but does it negatively affect a market.

The meaning of Negative is dependent on whether you are buying or selling 🤷‍♂️

It's a buyers market atm. Happy days

Probably overloaded with the silver offer?🤔🤔

Poor business management to offer something they clearly can't process within a acceptable timeframe. I won't be using them again

I have bought quite a bit from Atkinsons …. mainly gold. Just wait until a decent offer up. Free postage, quick delivery, no hassle🤔😮

Quick delivery? My order still hasn't been processed yet and it was placed on Sunday. I doubt I will be using them again tbh

Nothing from the royal mint is a sleeper. One of the worst mints going currently

Looking foward to watching the video on 'feedback' from Backyard Bullion in the coming days 🍿🍿

You got any ase

Yours for 400 🤣

Kilo coins are achieving on average £850, therefore half that and add on 5% premium max. So £445 approximately, I personally wouldn't go any higher. 

What was the offer price?

My uncle said I can have it for 350. He brought it in one of the middle east airports years ago. We was just having a conversation about precious metal and he pulled it out a draw and said I can take it for 350. 

Been offered this at a very good price. Never seen one before and I'm finding it difficult to source info online. Any ideas what the max I should pay for it?

I would respectfully suggest you do the maths….

Precious metals are never sold at bargain prices and special deals when I have looked at them have been…..unattractive at best.

no need to do any maths. The dealer i purchased from was marginally cheaper than all other well known online dealers. that was without the free coined I was given due to a refer a friend scheme. so if anything i paid 10% less premium than any other dealer which i could of purchased from

I havent really worked out the premium %. I only brought it because I had a referral deal where i received a free 1ounce silver Britannia. i dont really pay too much attention to premiums on small purchases as i dont intend on selling for at least a decade or more. where HOPEFULLY!!! the premiums would have been swallowed up by a big juicy profit

Presumably you were buying it as an investment in gold bullion. As such, you should not be expecting a perfectly engineered piece of scuptoral art. You are buying a mass produced product.

If you are looking for perfection, then a proof coin would be more in line.

Hopefully you bought it at a low or reasonable premium, although a large bar or coin would or should be better value.

See my / our advice here:

There is also not much advantage in buying a "sealed" gold bar, or a new one compared with secondary market one. 

In fact, sealed and certificated bars are too easily faked compared with their unsealed counterparts.

thanks for the reply, i have just unsealed the gold bar from the package. i have to say its better in the hand outside the plastic 😁

my main concern was how did the scratches get onto the bar in the first place?

Well, if you are not 100% happy with it, send it back for a refund or a replacement. It looks pretty bad to me.

I am not bothered about the scratches itself, I am more concerned in how they got there in the first place.

Are the scratches in the plastic or the gold ? 

on the gold itself
