the buzz is the same for the first one... and the thousandth one 🙂 I still look out the window waiting for the Postman to knock

It never wears off lol.waiting on a few orders myself and sometimes I like to surprise the post man by grabbing a chair and waiting at the bottom of street (save his feet like)

Doesnt wear off for me. Over 500oz and still love recieving every single oz. 

To all the members that have big stacks etc do you still get the buzz of excitement when you order and expecting a new delivery ?
i have got 1oz dragon bar/coin on order and I’m like a kid at Christmas .
just wonder if it wears of lol 

This post is designed to help those members in the UK who are buying gold from other members, either importing from the EU to the UK or from outside the EU to the UK

There are a lot of gold coins that are considered investment gold and therefore VAT exempt. There may therefore be opportunities for UK members to buy from the EU or other markets.
 
Using a Sovereign as an example, our understanding of the definition "is of a description of coin that is normally sold at a price that does not exceed 180% of the open market value of the gold contained in the coin" from information taken from UK dealers is that any sovereign, even those that sell for 10's of thousands of pounds do not attract any import VAT as a sovereign in general sells for not more than 180% of the spot price of gold.

The full information on what gold coins and type of other investment gold except can be found from the following link: 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/investment-gold-coins-and-vat-notice-70121a

Please also note that members may have experienced VAT incorrectly being added to gold imports into the UK, due to the description used by the sender. If VAT is incorrectly added you can usually claim back the full VAT (I have done this myself) however the courier admin charge (around £8 Royal Mail, and around £11 for other couriers like UPS, is not always claimable back, this depends on the reason why the incorrect VAT was applied) 

This post is correct as far as our knowledge at the time of writing. It should not be constituted as legal or tax advise, members have the responsibility to do their own research and speak with any necessary advisers. TSF can not be held liable for any incorrect VAT that is applied by HMRC or any other import or taxes that are charged due to any purchases by members whatsoever. 

Please check the government website, or start a topic in the discussion area of the forum if you would like to ask members questions and hopefully the TSF community can help. There are likely a lot of members who have experience of buying gold from abroad and can help   


Items are listed in the regions they are located in. So UK members wishing to see items available internationally please see some of the below sections:

See the items listed in the EU trade section, lots of members will ship to UK

See the items listed in the USA & Canada section, many members are also willing to ship worldwide.

A full list of all trade sections on the forum can be found here

Silver 1oz, 1/2oz and 1/4oz Egyptian coins

Count me in. My entry will be a 2020 1oz Perth Mint Dragon Rectangular Coin/Bar  Will post photo later.

There are some elements that are missing on the current theme. For example borders to text boxes and selection boxes. You may have unfortunately encountered this issue on the sign up page, with certain elements (e.g. the terms agree button) being hidden as there is no border showing.
This is caused by an unknown un-updated plug-in or application that is not compatible with the current forum software.

We are unable to diagnose the exact cause until the developers update their corresponding preexisting plugins/applications or we remove them. Including all custom modifications. This unfortunately is taking some time.
All members please do the following:
In the meantime, here is a fix. You will only need to do this once as the setting is then saved to your account (if you are logged in)
At the very bottom of the page (any TSF page) there is a “Theme” dropdown button. Please press this and choose “TSF default” this will still display the spot price bar. The only difference is that it will fix the display border error  
Unfortunately this issue seems to affect any theme we set as the forum’s default one. So we can’t simply turn that to the default to fix the issue, and it requires a member to select the theme manually themselves.
Apologies for the display error and any inconvenience. You will only need to do the above once and then you will have no display issues or missing elements when browsing the forum   

What an amazing achievement. Congratulations for the massive collection. It looks stunning! 🤩
