I wish I had an option to buy in US without EU tax/custom punishment. Recently almost all good and most importantly available options to buy platinum are in US. I really envy them...

Anyway, Royal Arms are available now in gs.be:

https://goldsilver.be/en/home/3232-uk-1-oz-platinum-royal-arms-2020-100.html

I think I take a risk and buy one. I mean risk because like I asked before here I have no feeling that anyone here can definitely say that they're reliable now but in the past many bought from them. Moreover GS uses the language like "we send the items when we send the items and what can you possibly do to us" ;)

I'm quite tempted, but being new at this I am wondering: Is buying a bar more sensible than buying a coin?

A coin like this has the advantage of being capital gains tax free and is probably easier to sell. I'd only go for a platinum bar over a coin if I was making a saving on the premium.

I'm definitely tempted. Only problem is that I just read something about goldsilver.be, and looking at the comments on TrustPilot I'm worried about the order I already placed with them.

I don't dare risk it unless I can get some sort of confirmation that the company is legit, not going bankrupt and not going to ignore my emails if something goes wrong. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/goldsilver.be

I've used them with no issues, as have many people on here. They aren't the best for customer service, it's a stack high and sell (relatively speaking) cheap model. But everyone seems to get what they pay for in the end.

Rookie question: What's a good price to pay for a 1oz platinum coin? Is £870 too far above spot price?

For  UK+UE members  spot + 9% was a very good price.

This days with the lack of stock and high demand spot + ~ 22% is the cheapest.

I feel obligated to follow up my own case from a few posts before regarding buying from GS (goldsilver.be).

Like I said (and I was a bit unsure with the seller), I bought Royal Arms from them and today morning I've got it :) It was super-fast, I sent WT on Monday, they confirmed on Tuesday, sent the item on Wednesday and it took only 1 day to ship from BE to PL. I wouldn't believe if I hadn't the coin in my hands :) One more thing, the package was absolutely great secured, package in package, foam, bubble envelope, foil. All credits to them. I'm totally satisfied :)

BTW, the coin is just gorgeous, if somebody is considering this one or another, IMHO it's the choice :)

I'd probably break and buy one, but as soon as I see the €25 shipping fee it just puts me right off. Turns an already high premium into an unpalatable one 😌

£868 with the dreaded VAT delivered

The 865 on EM is in Euros, so with 25 EUR shipping a single coin from EM would be roughly £790 GBP, depending on exact exchange rate likely slightly more. So it is quite a good deal when comparing to RM prices, IMO.

1oz Baird bars going for £800 each free delivery - not seen many better than this from UK. Looks like has 3 of them for sale. 

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254585706448

Wow they have a website address stamped on the back of the bar?! They don't show that on the Bairds website! Yikes, that's a big put off for me personally.

goldsilver[.]be is a well known PM dealer use by some of the members of this community. 

Personally I've use them only once (bought some silver) and stop using after they started charging 55€ to deliver a 20€ silver coin (just crazy).

Your post seems a little irrelevant without saying where it was being shipped to. Or is this fee regardless of location?.
