Sounds good - we have a pair of KG bars hallmarked and ready to be claimed if you wanted either of them feel free to PM me! 😉😉

Beautiful! I’m going to need to wait until payday I think!

@Chorlton totally - just not worth worrying about.

I have travelled both internationally and within the UK by air carrying a large amount of silver. It really isn't that bad. Going through airport security was fun and when I asked for a private room to open up my bags for them they looked a little sheepish. But when in the room they were really interested (in a non intrusive and threatening way) most people in this world haven't seen much precious metal (especially in bulk) up close. On my way back from Edinburgh the lady I spoke to told an amazing story about a middle Eastern man travelling to Dubai with a suitcase that had 10x 1kg bars of gold in it! No issues letting it through. The security at Gatwick even asked me if I wanted an escort to the gate - but that would draw too much attention me thinks!

@SilverPirate007 if you haven't seen this video yet I went to Estonia to pick up some silver!

For us, this was under £10,000 worth so no issues with declarations but I did make sure I had all my invoices printed and accessible in case someone stopped me at either airport.

 

 

Thank you sir, I really enjoy your videos and love your work. I would love to buy a kg bar from you when you are back up and running!

For all the shipping is for my location - Romania

Yep, Baird is cheapest within the uk

My 2 cents

Here is a comparison of total price, including delivery.  What is the cheapest for some isn't for all when you take in consideration all the cost.  For Goldsilver I use the 1 kilo kookaburra pointed out by @dga00

This is for shipping outside the uk

Personally I would be a bit twitchy about travelling with 40kgs of silver in the boot across the Europe... I would rather have it insured and shipped to me. I just prefere piece of mind 🤷‍♂️

Oh I am going to fly with it. 10kg per person.

Next December I’m going to pop over to Estonia for a family holiday and bring back 40kg of silver. I have a savings account specifically for the plan. Inspired by the good people of backyard bullion.

Just ridiculous premiums these days

I don't know, I think it might be if you take delivery.

Nar the europeanmint, gold silver and silver to go have no VAT

Is VAT applicable from goldsilver.be? I thought it was like S2G...gonna go read their site properly...

No VAT from gold silver.be

the issue is that I passed on these coins at 14 pound a pop! 😂

Worst time to be on eBay, the purchasing power of scotch is immense! Since I knocked the juice on the head my purchases have been almost sensible...🙃

Yes I have bought all my premium coins after half a bottle of rum. The misses is very upset after my recent buy of 5kg 😂

We do have 1/4 ounces, but they are called sovereigns!

If you mean quarter ounce Brits, no, the premiums on new coins are too high IMO, but sovereigns are relatively competitive, although of course they are not exact 1/4 ounces.

Ah I have a thing for the 1/4 oz brits. Almost a fetish

siover thrupence for £2.50 from London mint. These are really nice wee coins but I think this company has a reputation for excess marketing also.

Is this really a good deal for 2.50? I got one when I was drunk a little while back and when the invoice came through I was kicking myself

Looks like we timed the purchase badly, we are down about £40 an ounce today.

Anyone want to buy some at cost price?

Got any 1/4 oz?

Anyone seen any good deals on 1/4 oz gold eagles, brits or QBs?

2 minutes ago, LawrenceChard said:

3500 x 2020 gold bullion sovereigns.

If anybody wants to know why, it's because there were not 5000 available.

Sorry no photo yet, we might try and do an unpacking one when they arrive.

Any for sale or all sold already?

Why wouldn't they? Baird is perfectly reliable. Have you heard otherwise? 

Oh it was just a joke, I know they are very reliable

Isn't Fourecks that hot sandy continent near the edge of the disc...?

🧙‍♂️

Baird&Co now have a nice selection of Sovereigns for reasonably good premiums. Considering an early Elizabeth II...

If they ever deliver the purchase that is 😂

Just now, Blehhhh said:

Of course not, I mean Daca.

Anyway, Ill likely be purchasing some Gold tomorrow, so will will check prices in the morning..😀

Oh ok, well good luck. Can you let us know what prices you achieve please? I’m looking to buy some more gold over the coming days.

2 minutes ago, Blehhhh said:

Yeah, this is true. But the attitude of the guy is not necessary.

More then likely he will save significantly if he waits until tomorrow. Of course gold could rise greatly in one day but Id wager it will still be cheaper than 1670 euro tomorrow.

Sometimes you are better just not trying to help people.

 

 

I hope you don’t mean my attitude?

I imagine they are off today as its a bank holiday in UK.

They only allow buying when they are open or when Gold is actively trading I believe.

However, prices are good. I have several items on order.

Bairds don’t trade on the weekend or bank holiday

Today I agreed to buy the awesome piece from @BackyardBullion “Monster Rolo”

Absolutely love it, cant wait for it to arrive!

 

What is the price on that beauty?

In essence you can buy gold and silver from Bairds. Prices are very competitive. You don’t pay VAT on gold in the UK.

silver bars are very well priced at the moment due to the premium hikes seen with other dealers.
