if it closes around this figure that will make the 5th weekly fall

[craig12]

hey real blue gold  could I ask as you will have a good understanding of Spanish property  do you see them fslling further or is now a good time to buy, the islands don't seem to have been affected its the ones on the mainland, I heard theyre still 27% over valued from the crash seen a couple on rightmpove spain , but you never know if your at the bottom 

[craig12]

£11.75   well well  that's the 5th weekly fall from previous week   is anyone nervous right now , I cant call this  53p off a 4 year low 

[HighlandTiger]

It's handy having a drop in price just as the 2015 coins start to appear on the market.

I couldn't agree more, awesome news.

[craig12]

but do you wait till Monday morning to see if theres further falls?  im finding overall Monday -Wednesday are trading sideways  then bang  Friday there goies the drop

[HighlandTiger]

It's quite funny. I've checked several of the websites that I use to see the spot price and they are all over the place. No one seems to know what the price is....LOL

I assume you no longer think that 20% over spot is too much.

[craig12]

my fellow stacker  wilted and went away , good while it lasted , he only stashes pandas now and isn't selling,  I still try and get the very lowest I can in the uk   yes we cant do much about the uk vat , only hope theres a silver upside , like those weirdos over on ss talk about   ha ha mi jim lad

Or get 20 Maples from STG delivered to your door for the equivalent of £14.50 per coin. Bugger getting silver rounds from the UK when Maples are that cheap to your door.

jesus  Christ were at nearly £11.70  is this the silver fix ending

yes we cant do much about the uk vat

There's plenty you can do about it, including not paying it.

Can you not order from the EU?

[craig12]

im going to look into this silver to go , its funny how your first reaction is

this is from the eu  so ill have a vat bill to pay

or it must be summat fishy

someone posted a message about 2nd generation silver this week  wonder how much that is per oz now ,  yes youre all very right we shouldn't feed the likes of atkinsons , its just a fear of , it might get lost in post etc etc

[craig12]

yes those stg maples are a whacking £47 less than atkinsons  so 3 free coins in theory

[HighlandTiger]

, its just a fear of , it might get lost in post etc etc

I've had items arrive from europe within 48 hours of buying them before and items posted in the UK that have never arrived. 

 

STG seems to be as safe as anybody

[craig12]

would you say stg are only a good deal at 10+ coins?

[HighlandTiger]

would you say stg are only a good deal at 10+ coins?

I'd say STG are a good deal from 3 coins + compared with Atkinsons. 

 

3 Brits delivered by Atkinsons = £66.24

3 Brits delivered by STG = £61.15

 

Any figure 3 and above and you'll find STG beats Atkinsons every time. 

[craig12]

thank you highland tiger  my core purchase is 5 coins sometimes 10  if ive had a good month in the shop

[silversword]

HT beat me to it, but yes, at current prices even a small order from STG will beat Atkinsons. I'd previously calculated a minimum of 6-7, but for best value and without paying silly money, 10-15 coins makes much more sense. Also STG orders go via UPS and their tracking is better than Royal Mail

[silversword]

And to add (and back on topic), they will get an order from me at this rate, the prices have dropped a lot

[HighlandTiger]

If I wasn't buying an order from Oz next week, I'd be slapping a decent order into STG as well today. Fingers crossed the price holds, (or drops) for another week or so. I want to get my Canadian Falcons and Eagles,  

[craig12]

do you have to register as a new customer or just go to buy and check out

The EU allows free trade between it's member states.  Buy anything from an EU country and all taxes are included.

Why is it wrong to "feed the likes of Atkinsons"?  They're reliable and for a UK company they're also cheap.  Their only handicap is having to pay VAT to the UK government which isn't their fault.  It's not like they're deliberately ripping us off.

Craig knows this a thousand times over.

Craig, just go for an STG order mate, you won't look back.

From memory, I can't remember one negative comment regarding STG other than limited range.
