GOLD DEALS - (UK & Europe) See a deal, post it here

Just signed up to the forum looking to buy some silver but noticed NMmoney are selling 1oz Baird gold bars for £1359 delivered. Seems a decent price and might be of use to someone.

It's the currency store found in most towns, think they used to be called Eurochange. I've not used them yet, today is the first day I noticed them on a Google search.

Bullion and many other types of item aren't eligible for this cashback, so the Royal Mint will still be making a hefty profit on those proof markups and special 50 pence coins (I nearly said 50ps but didn't want to invoke the wrath of @LawrenceChard  ).

Cashback, Yuk!

I dislike many of the marketing incentives to draw people into using credit, credit cards, first bet free at Bunkum's Bookies and Betting Shop, free credit, buy now pay later, Klarna. There are positive arguments for all of these, but most of them are propaganda by the promoters. At worst, they are aimed at getting suckers addicted at great cost. Even at best, they have to be paid for somehow by someone, and that is often the non-participants who end up paying higher prices. When I am told I can buy something on interest free credit, I want to know how much discount I can have for paying cash up front.

If you remember, "James", 'I was left with £29,300 of special Royal Mint coins after HSBC refused them despite being legal tender': How a ruse to earn credit card points came unstuck.", back in 2016.

I am perfectly happy with the use of "p", or "p." as an abbreviation of penny or pence. We used to use £.s.d. as an abbreviation of pounds, shillings and pence before decimalisation.

My objection is that people started saying "pee" instead of "pence". We never used to say "el", "ess", or "d" in the pre-decimal days. It was almost certainly caused because people were too lazy to say "new pence" during the changeover period, or revert to "pence" afterwards. Now we are stuck with it for ever.

It would be neat if Americans started saying "dee" and "cee" instead of dollars and cents, although some of them insist on saying "dollars" and "pennies" (not even pence!).

I could imagine American parents or educators telling kids not to use the "C" word.

And Swiss and other people might be told not to use the "F" word.

Not a bad price for a 1oz gold bar with free post (yes I know it ain't really free lol)

[Arganto]

Plenty of excellent sovereigns have been put up for sale in the trade section as of late for great prices, but as for dealer deals Hatton Garden Metals have 'best value' sovereigns for £332 inclusive of delivery cost.

Chards are about £330 once delivery is added.

BBP £332

Yes they have lost their appeal but maybe there are people out there prepared to buy without doing any comparisons.
HGM were once my favourite supplier before they turned in to an on-line coin shop pricing everything by date and adding hefty premiums to some.
Maybe they hired someone who pointed them in this direction and if it works for them ... I haven't bought anything from HGM for years and even Mayfair shops sell sovereigns for less.

Cannot beat this if genuine but looking at all the other items listed for sale I reckon it isn't worth the cost of postage.

At least the seller is being kind of honest but check out all his other coins - shocking to see so many fakes.
The fact that most of the coins are "legal tender" and showing metal purity, regardless of the description, surely these are counterfeit and therefore a crime is being committed by offering for sale ??
