sixgun got a reaction from Bartho in Coins vs bars cost
A 1 kg bar is not really big, it is pretty standard. A 100 oz bar is big.
It seems there was a time when silver bars were drilled out and tungsten put in - but it has never been during my time of buying bars. It certainly is an issue with gold bars and one of the reasons I don't buy them. Perhaps one day we will see tungsten filled silver bars again.
Basic bullion coins like Maples and Britannias are at the cheaper end of the price range. Maples have had a bad rep in the past as they almost always would develop milk spot. I haven't followed this too closely but a few years ago the RCM said they had altered their production process to stop this. Stackers generally don't like milk spot and so a coin that is very likely to develop it won't command the same price. It ceases to be a collector type coin. Britannias also have milk spot problems.
There are loads of Brits and Maples in the hands of members - there is nothing special about them - unless you are looking at one of the basic bullion type coins that have something special about them then why would anyone want to pay extra.
Personally i am keen on different silver bars - especially vintage bars. When i have the spare cash i like to get them - i collect them.
The 100 oz and 5kg silver bars are quite a price. This means fewer members have the spare cash to buy. The prices won't go so high as there is less competition.
The relative price of bars to coins has fluctuated over time. Bars used to be cheaper here - then they get a bit more expensive. On average I wouldn't say the difference is big but at the moment it would not surprise me if you have seen the smaller bars going for higher prices. Perhaps its the fashion.

You've obviously led a very sheltered life. No wonder you don't get emails.

More questions? I always get emails. How else can I keep ahead of the game?

In the email it said
10 oz of Coins & poured silver £240 Inc SD
Yes it was a good deal despite silver having been stomped on - i was too busy swimming at the pool to notice this one - it is getting warmer now and warm enough for me to swim.

I thought i would wear this to show i was a member of the Illuminati.

sixgun got a reaction from Upsidedown in selling a large collection of shiny stuff
Well you started this thread a week ago. In that time you could have put up a lot of stuff in the selling section.
You are going to have to post photos and put up prices if you do sell through the silver forum, but you will have to do that anywhere.
A rule of the forum is you have to put up an asking price unless you are selling by auction.
Start with something. You don't need to run multiple selling pages - you can put a list up with price and images. A few lower value items. You could use someone like @BackyardBullion as an intermediary for a few items to get some feedback and then go it alone.
Selling on ebay is the pits - riddled with criminals - i personally was friendly with a guy who sold fakes and also would claim something was wrong with goods received and send back a fake. He even scammed me but after action taken it cost him dearly and i got my value back. Some members sell there but you only need to get stung once + the selling fees for the trades that go well and you are losing over what you would get on TSF.
i would used BYB for a few sales, get yourself a bit of feedback and then go from there. You must already have the photos if you put stuff up on ebay.

sixgun reacted to Roy in Gold Monitoring Thread £ GBP only
Psychologically, it must be a difficult time to enter the market.
The forum began in 2014 and folk getting onboard then saw the 2011 highs and thought PMs were a bargain! Gold had fallen from £1100 to £700 and silver from £28 to £10.
It was comforting to know that the price of gold and silver had been higher before, which is not the case today.
Entering the market, and being confident in my decisions led me to (to use a BYB phrase), 'front load' my PM investment. It paid off, fortunately, but could quite easily had gone the other way.
It really has been a super hedge.
I'm still buying, not as aggressively of course, and I encourage others to keep up because the value of all fiat currencies are only, and can only, go one way.
