On Ebay, I always look at the ending British coins as I started collecting pre-decimal. Saw this with a couple of minutes to spare, and made a quick decision to bid £15 plus £2.58 for delivery. I bid in the last 2 seconds and was shocked (and worried as I've only just started collecting) when I wasn't outbid. Oh and the seller had no feedback, but other items they had looked like a house clearance.

 

It was sent in a small paper envelope, second class (not signed for) and sat in an outside mailbox attached to the wall at my office for 2 days. 

 

I have looked for others, but I don't think I'm going to ever be this lucky again.

21/1 1oz krugerrand for £781.20

16/6 1oz maple for £785.10

It's a buzz when you catch a dip but painful when brought on a high lol

Wow Stretch are you saying you bought 21 Krugs in one go, or are you saying you bought 1 Krug at £781.20, which is the best price out of 21 you bought this year?

21st of Jan ?

[Stretch]

Yes the date 21 of Jan. 21 krugerrands is way over my budget.

The best dip I caught was just before new year 30/12/13 when I got a Krug oz for £754

The beauty of this thread is that it shows most of us posting are smart buyers and paying roughly the same for gold coins.

There will always be exceptions and lucky finds through the ignorance of sellers perhaps. We saw a cracking example of a gold sovereign selling on ebay as a junk commemorative for about £15 but that's rare. My best eBay purchase several years ago was a half sovereign that turned out to be a full sovereign. Keep sharing your best buys for 2014. If you now realise you are paying too much then this forum may save you a fortune as you seek better deals.

There I go again worse for wear.  Sorry everyone esp stretch

I used the last dip to buy RM Lunar Horse £802.  

 

Has anyone noticed that the dealers don't always drop the prices straight away, sometimes leaving it a day or two before they fully realize the price drop.
