Hi guys

Im on ebay and have spotted the below listing and as I'm not the best expert on gold what is everyone's thoughts on this?

Stay off ebay - Could be anything and even if genuine you'll pay over and the only person you'd be able to sell these to would be dealer at I guess somewhere around 95% spot. If you want gold have a look in the trade section 👍

it was the novelty factor / impulse buying in me.  for £10 I took the hit 🤣

I think it’s a cool little gadget to have when you collect gold. I can understand the appeal to it, especially after watching tv series like goldrush.

Then again; I certainly wouldn’t make it a habit of collecting these as a way to stack gold. Although some pieces can be aesthetically beautiful when reflected on your retina (for example gold-quarts). The bigger they get, the higher the premium. Another “problem” with these is that most of the time you don’t know how much carat the gold dust/flakes/nuggets are that you buy. They are never 24K purity.

ah, ok £10 💰 , but I think you may be disappointed - even they refer to it as "dust" and needing a "30-60x jewellery magnifier" to see it / them and of unknown purity - save your £10's up and buy a fractional on here for around £100, a lot more satisfying novelty imo - but thats just my opinion, so best of luck
