Hi All
For anyone with an interest in Sovereigns, I highly recommend getting hold of the auction catalogues for the Bentley Collection.
As well as a sales tool, it has absolutely invaluable information and very clear photographs of some remarkable sovereigns.
I purchased mine from eBay for £20 which I consider an absolute bargain.

Congrats @Jamesd!

It is
check their accounts they have 675 quid cash af bank 
Wouldn't touch it with a socially distanced bargepole 
 

If there is a similar thread or the merging of threads needs to be done, mods please just go ahead. 
So, a deal has been done (yet to be approved mind you but we will cross that bridge if/when we need to). 
The deal grants access to the Single Market and free trade. 
It is important to understand that free trade and single market IS NOT the same as the old rules. Border checks will happen much more now when importing to the UK and the golden (well actually SILVER question) is will we be able to buy goods from Europe and import them to the UK and NOT pay VAT. 
My thoughts are it will be a while before we have an answer to this - the following are some of the questions/thoughts I have about things. 
The UK has left the EU but has access to the single market and free trade. This means no Tariffs at the border. Tariffs are NOT the same as VAT. 
When a seller sells something to the UK it could/should/will be treated as a sale outside the scope of VAT. 
But the UK still has (and will have for a while because it is a huge revenue earner) a VAT system. 
VAT systems are designed to keep business in a certain country rather than having other countries undercut their ability to do business. 
When goods enter the UK they are coming from outside the UK so in theory VAT could be applied. You have not already paid VAT because in theory the seller country did not need to charge you VAT in the first place. 

I see all of this as hypothetical based on how the UK's VAT system will link or not link with the EU's system. 
So, just because there is a deal this does not mean VAT free silver still for us. 
Any thoughts/info from anyone more "in the know" would be much appreciated!

Congrats @GavinDevon!

What's the exit plan with footwear and. 925. Is there demand, are you melting it down, what's the route up shift it?

Yeah your right it is what it is eh 

Think I prefer to be a pessimist on this one, as you said if it comes it's a bonus.
In the email they say "New orders are being added to a waiting list" but from what we've heard they've cancelled existing orders and you can't order from their site anymore so sounds like a generic email update.
Ah well, we'll see how this pans out lol

Ive just received an email saying they are struggling with demand but I will recieve it in time and won't be charged until its ready for dispatch so we will see eh 

Absolutely!

No me neither if it does come bonus if not there's always more silver to buy eh 

Ive ordered one myself why the hell not 

Never bought from here before but took the plunge!
