Sovereigns from Harrington & Byrne.

I just had order of 3 cancelled:( 

[RichmondStacker]

I’m tempted with this but for half the month I work nights so any cold calling and the extra post would be annoying as my dog barks at the door. 

[HighlandTiger]

The buggers have cancelled my second order as well. I think the gold bugs at the silver forum have bought too many.

I've been seriously mulling whether to jump on this or not. On the plus side it's looking like a fairly easy £10 profit per coin. On the downside it means that if one were to purchase by stretching one's credit then you've got your backside hanging out to the tune of more than half a grand, and then trying to get a quick turnaround on coins when the secondary market is likely to be flooded with offers from other folks who've taken the offer up 😕

[sovereignsteve]

Inevitable once people started taking the piss and talking about it.

The advantage players who got in early will have made their profit.

I would imagine their commercial return in terms of upselling overpriced coins will have taken a tumble recently and even they must have noticed all the people buying and then demanding to be taken off mailing lists.

It's a similar situation to bookmakers attracting new punters with special offers. If these newbies don't turn out to be a source of profit, they soon get knocked on the head. Any advantage players soon get restricted or banned.

I've just noticed that H&B are offering Quarter Ounce 2019 Britannias for £269:

Shhhhh quiet about bookmakers, match betters need those offers.

[Tn21]

Atkinsons said they can't price match the 1/4 Oz Brit but they have offered it for the price of purchasing 250+ or more so only about  £4 more then H&B price of £269.

Going with a more reputable company and pay £4 extra may be worth it.

Just had to order my 4th Sovereign from H&B via a close friend, as I was "rumbled" yesterday when I tried to get another one online via H&B's website......

They ignored my physical letter. Email them threatening ICO complaints and tell them not to contact you or pass your details on to anyone. 

I did this and haven't recieved any junk letters in months. Even after I bought 2 more sovereigns.

[Michal]

Right, so i will go to threatening straight away.

 

Edit

Done and dusted.

[shawy2510]

I tend to put them & Coin Portfolio Management straight into the shredder & use for packaging material. I appreciate the free packaging as saves me buying foam etc

Thanks... once my allocation of bullion sovereigns are filled, I'll work on this. It's a really good price, only £16 over spot. I like the colour and purity of the 24 carat gold.
