as above …...Buyer Beware

very wide berth me thinks.

The image in the listing may be a real one, but I’m 99% sure this listing will be a fake one based on the seller’s reputation and not actual pictures listed. There are quite a few fake Perth Mint 1oz bars especially the green certicard flying around on ebay. 

Here is a link regarding how to tell fake green card ones, which also includes a link to Perth Mint’s original link regarding the fake black card ones. http://www.24hgold.com/english/news-gold-silver-another-fake-minted-bar-to-beware.aspx?article=7118009784H11690&redirect=false&contributor=Perth+Mint+Blog

Good deals are out there but just got to be vigilant. Also as everyone said, if it it too good to be true, it probably is.

The guys only had one sale and that was negged, who knows if he/she has changed identities.  Low feedback generally a good indicator of someone to avoid especially if they are selling high ticket items.

Admittedly I've never managed to test this exclusion yet, but it's poor considering they still charge fees.
