Hi!

I always send anything 50 pounds plus by spec del. Am I too cautious or sensible?

Sensible if you dont want to take a risk

As a buyer I want s/d for any purchase over 50 making it very expensive to buy smaller amounts of silver and gold and as a seller I suggest s/d as a standard unless the buyer specifically wants cheaper but their call after I've got payment the item is then theirs so their call

Depends whether you want to add an extra 10% on to the cost of everything you buy.

@morezone I think it was posted a well reasoned reply in a thread somewhere (someone may be able to link it) laying down figures, calculations and probabilities of losing money etc.

It's all a risk assessment and we each have to do what we are comfortable with.

Perhaps I'm more diligent in recent times. Can be more trusting when things more normal.

My rough answer in this thread

Yeah makes sense, we have to factor in the extraordinary times were in today as well imo.
