Website for comparing UK prices for gold sovereigns, britannias, etc

Awesome stuff @S2G

I had a quick look when you posted the original link and it's now a vast improvement and extremely useable.

If I ever use it when making a purchase, i will certainly send a donation and I would urge everyone else to do the same. it's only fair and the right thing to do.

This website has great potential to become very popular.

[MESSIAH]

Awesome site, really helpful to me. Thanks very much. 

[Midasfrog]

This site is great for showing whos charging way over the top for postage 😉

Another popular request ticked off the list: I figured a way to get data from Royal Mint's website, so Royal Mint has been added next to all dealers for comparison. I've also added Harrington & Byrne to the Sovereign table.

Any chance you can make a link to jump straight from the listed price to the item ?

Strange, links should go directly to the page where you can see current prices / buy the item. Is this not the case for you?

 My fault - I didn’t see the link on the right hand side (view). Cool!!

Really hope you find a way to monetise your site. Be a shame for you to not be rewarded for your endeavours. Perhaps you can strike up some affiliate links when people click "view" to purchase, or even have a "buy now" button instead. I'm not much of a PC coding tech so have no idea whether I'm talking sh##e.

Thank you, I hope so too! I'm currently working on it for fun, but that's not sustainable in the long run. It will be great if I can cover up my costs to run the website, and pay myself some money to keep maintaining it.

I like the idea In general I would definitely prefer sponsorships over ads / affiliate links.

I'm sure @ChrisSIlver  will contact you if he's interested in being involved.

With UK Gold Compare doing a pretty damn fine job in showing multiple gold dealers in real time prices, I wonder whether that will result in dealers taking note and reducing their prices in order to not lose out to the other dealers? Does anyone know whether it has already had an effect on dealer prices or is it still too early to tell, what with it still being a very young compare site?

I would hope website brings more competition to UK dealers benefit consumer but do search on google for Gold prices dealers in the UK the website not part of the first 10 pages on the google algorithm and therefore have no impact on UK dealer prices.

https://goldcompare.net/

Lots of people view the Silver Forums anonymously and saves a lot of time for people just want to purchase bullion gold. Not to say one day it will not have more of an impact.

@tallyhojim That's Gold Compare's ultimate mission. When I developed the algorithm and started using it myself on my computer, I was quite surprised that prices for the same coin can vary up to £20-30 pounds, in some cases dealers charging more than the Royal Mint itself. I hope the site can make the market a lot more competitive and better for buyers.

@Abyss That's a very good point. The domain and website are both quite new, so it is normal to be be ranked low in the Google Search results for most searches.

This could change very quickly though. For example, sharing links to the website in other forums / social media (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc) can have a very significant impact and help with Google Search results. Perhaps I can encourage this by adding "Share on..." links.

In the meantime — sharing the site around the web will definitely help the cause

Most stackers here are odd, they don neck beards, live in their mothers basements, in the dark, fear the end of the world and monetory collapse being just round the corner and give their kitchen knives names.  Friends are the last thing we should have access to share information

You missed out the part where we wear the same underkrackers for days on end, and then turn them inside out to create a "fresh new pair" complete with Rik Mayall back crack skid marks.

I think link sharing is very old hat now and ceased to be effective a while ago. I believe you really need to be linked or mentioned by authorative sites on the subject. Links from TSF will certainly help.

Just added the capability to show available vs out of stock / no longer available items. If you refresh the page there will be a tick mark or a red cross before the price in pounds.

This is a bit experimental, so if someone finds an item that's being shown as "available" but is actually out of stock (or vice-versa) please let me know.

Great job! Thank you

Awesome work! 😎
