Today I bought.....

[Danny-boy]

Today I also bought a 2008 1/2oz koala.

Just need the 2010 now for the date run.

Today I bought another lunar S1  1oz proof tiger & snake to go with 2oz Bu tiger.

I bought a coin I've wanted a while but not seen anywhere.. (at least reasonably priced) 

 

2008 1/4 proof gold Britannia

 

I saw bullionbypost had put a couple on ebay for £320, so I looked on their site and they had them for £278

 

I rang them and asked if they would consider an offer, nice guy,  said ok and marked them down to £265 delivered (still have 3 left)

 

I think it's an ok price, gold Britannias don't seem nearly as collected as sovereigns, so I would count it as more of a little luxury than an investment.

[mrwebb697]

Good score madhatter,bargain!

I'm in sort of the same boat as you regarding earlier years

except i'm collecting graded ms 70's.

No matter which you collect BU or graded the further back

you go the pricier they get!!,kind of makes you kick yourself

for not starting collecting earlier

[Danny-boy]

Doesn't it just.

If I'd have been stacking in 2008, I wish I'd bought a box of 2oz mouse and Rwanda Gorilla.

I'd be laughing now.

Hindsight is awesome!!!

[watchesandwhisky]

I sometimes wonder if some of the coins we buy new now will ever be super sought after, or was the buying market much smaller before the price rises leading up to 2011?

Another House........

[watchesandwhisky]

As you do....

 

Congratulations mate, one day I hope my metals will help me buy one.

[ChrisSilver]

Another House........

For renting out? Smart move. PM's are nice but they don't produce any income.

I hope they do also.

[silverroller]

Another House........

did you pay for it in cash or gold?

[Keithoil]

Yes they are CS for renting out.

 

i am trying to get 5 or 6 rental properties, this is my third.

[Keithoil]

I am afraid this is cash, but the next will have to fund itself with part mortgage.

Great move keep it up. I have few friends in property business. You will end up with good income when you retire. Just be careful to who you rent it out

what part of the country did you buy in? were not tempted to use the banks money instead of all own cash,just in case there is a property crash.

Yes it is always a sort of gamble who you pick we are going for working families.

 

It is a 3 bed semi in a very nice area, i.e. a very good rental area, and hopefully if we ever have to sell the price will go up, but it is for one of the granddaughters why I need more!!!!

They are in the North East.

 

But near to where I live, it is a good rental property, and a nice area.

 

I am literally 3 minutes from the North Yorkshire Moors.

I have been tempted to buy a house to rent out ,but not quite sure whats going to happen to the housing market. I can buy for cash,but not sure if i would want to put all my money into property, even though i refurbish houses for my friends that have bought to rent out.

I think there is something that also happens in the property market as with other markets, when there are cheap mortgages the rental market suffers because people all over can afford to buy, but the inverse of this is when there are no mortgagees or they are being very strict who they give them too, then the rental side rises again.

 

I hope again like my PM's never to sell them just pass them on.

 

I think its called taking the rough with the smooth

 

Ask me again in ten years time.
