There are always people selling on the forum. If the for sale items are selling someone must be buying.
It may be people selling to pay Christmas bills. i discussed with another member some months ago and we agreed we would expect more sales - people who aren't getting as much income as they would otherwise have got in the pre-COVID era.
i agree there seems to be more sales than usual but i really do not think it is anything to do with the price of gold about to crash. There were letters went out from Swiss refineries only today to say their output would be less as there are so many people off work they cannot run at normal capacity. So physical supply is tight.

Yes i realised you were pulling my leg but i wanted to use the opportunity to reinforce how these small gold coins especially if they aren't too shiny or are copper coloured could be a life saver in an emergency situation. You have £5000 in pennies in your pocket which a mugger would ignore in preference to a plastic £5 note. Enough gold to save you in a Mad Max situation is very portable and can be inconspicuous. Always something to bear in mind even if the situation never arose, God willing.

A UK penny is 20.3mm, a half sovereign is 19.33mm and a full sovereign 22.05mm.
Do you really think a purse or an airport X-ray tray with these coins in is going to get noticed?
People don't notice - i know they don't notice.
Indeed i have to look at the coin's face to distinguish a 2 euro cent from a 5 euro cent even after years of using them. People don't notice.

Small brown penny sized coins (aka older sovereigns) look like pennies in airport X-ray scanner trays, in purses and pockets - no-one is interested in pennies so no questions are ever asked. 
All that glisters is not gold - and all gold does not glister but it is still gold. Give it time and you will come to realise - gold is gold and that is what matters. 

They administer vaccines this way i hear.

@HerefordBullyun Drinking urine is said to have health giving properties. Never tried it? Expand your mind.

Hence why they call it a golden shower.

i made investments in uranium stock a few years back - there was a bit of a bull run and it looked like price would take off - they didn't and eventually i get rid of most of what i hold but i do still hold some stock. (Goviex and i hold a few warrants in Uranium Royalty Corporation)
i would say Rick Rule videos are good to search out and take a look at what Sprott is investing in. 
Rick's view is that uranium will remain down for a couple more years before it starts to come back again. It is an area i will be diving back into but at the moment the wind is in the sails of precious metals so that is where i am.

Kinesis started paying out the Holders' yield today - a lot of excitement. 
i was please with my payout.
It depends on the activity on the Exchange but people have said it has worked out at 4.5% holders' yield for them. 
So free vaulting, no VAT and 4.5% yield for having your metal in the Kinesis system.

Then he should be.

There is already a thread on uranium

FEEDBACK       Took a chance, thought there might be some pre 47 silver included but only a 1937 and 1932 50% silver 3d. Even postage charge was a rip off with stamp £1 less than charge. My fault, something looks to good to be true then it probably is! OLD BRITISH COINS JOB LOT / TIN OF OLD COLLECTION - BRITISH! (#384513176576)  

Yeah but the tin isn't included in the sale. That's probably why the prices are so low.

Again - what's with the -20% hole?
i am scouring my memory cells for when i paid VAT on silver. i remember once i got stung by customs for a medallion from China except the people at customs didn't know its worth and pitched the VAT at a fraction of what it should have been.
If you buy at a price you could turn around and sell at there is no hole to dig yourself out of. 
For years we had VAT free silver. Members who have been around for more than a year should have filled their boots. i know i did when the buy price was in the low teens. 
When we have the forum to sell on, why go running to a dealer and get fleeced like an amateur who knows no better.
In any case i never sold an ounce that was my own so what do i care. 

i am in Spain - i have not bought from GS.be or elsewhere on the Continent whilst i have been in Spain - i see GS.be advertising Britannias at 22.67€ (£19.41)- technically they should add VAT on since 1st July 2021 but go to checkout it says 0.00€ tax. i very much doubt any tax would be levied by Spanish customs if i ordered, not for a package coming from the EU. If i were buying a good lot, i could take a trip to GS.be and just pick it up.
i still buy silver but in England and have it stored in England. i am addicted and so i still buy silver and will keep buying silver. I get nearly all of it off the Silver Forum. No-one is charging VAT here - so there is no VAT. They are charging a price that i could turn the silver round at and sell again on TSF. So what is the issue?

People pay a price on TSF. Unless they have overpaid or the silver price dropped hard they could sell it again at that price. It doesn't matter if there is VAT in the price or not if you can sell it at that price. People talk as if they buy all their silver from dealers and then sell it back to dealers at under spot and so lose all the VAT and premium they paid. Who is doing that? Please step forwards and then explain why you are doing that. i accept if you are in a mad hurry to sell then you can get a quick turnaround but otherwise i don't understand all this talk about VAT. There is no reason to be 'underwater', unless you are Marine Boy.
Very recently i have bought a lot of silver. i buy it on Kinesis. i don't pay VAT - there is no VAT. i can sell the silver - i can sell it for crypto, EUR USD, GBP and KAU (gold). i even get a yield on the silver i hold and the first yield should be paid out next week.
i believe silver will appreciate a lot - a hell of a lot in the coming years - but i am probably well known for that belief. i can get more silver for my money with Kinesis. It is about £16.70 on the Exchange, although i always buy in USD.
For me i could buy like the pre-Brexit times from GS.be, i do buy at good prices on TSF and i also buy at trade prices on the Kinesis Exchange.
i keep buying silver - Silver will go to the Moon. It is not a matter of if, it is simply a matter of when.

It was possible to get low £teens silver in recent years - i just dug out a sales invoice for 1 oz Somali Elephants from Silver-to-Go from September/October 2015 - it worked out at £12.60 an ounce.
That was in the days when you could get silver coins 'VAT free' and there was a special offer on these coins.
i got almost 57 ounces last weekend for $1300 on the Kinesis platform.
