So the answer is yes, you're crazy.

Today I bought some gold nuggets from Alaska. I got them very close to the spot price. 

Fair deal?

That's what i thought, so there is no difference in getting it shipping from the US direct then, just this GSP scamming everyone by charging customs upfront that isn't required.

30oz of brits/kooks added to the stack on today's selloff. Nothing fancy, just stacking great value low-mid range bullion. Very happy with how my stack has been growing, and on target to hit 1000oz this year.

No, if you buy from Apmex you will be charged 5% vat as they put the wrong customs code on.  Then you will get 2.5% courier charge on top.  You need to go onto the Gov site, this is a start be warned it is your responsibility and the courier wants the 2.5% The Gold must be listed as investment Gold by the UK Government.

It has worked for me and other times not, I have spent hours on the phone to the customs who explained it is not there job to tell the importer what to do and what code to use. Good luck.

Hardcore collector mile high stacking club respect.

I thought the plane flew upside down if you used your phone while in the air.

So the person that won the bid didn't pay up so they offered you it?

@StackerMike Either way, nice buy mate!

Right..I was out and about so had limited capabilities on my phone.  Now I'm back, I'm sorry to say that the coin has a very high chance of being fake.  Alarm bells rang when you mentioned it was a second chance offer of £270 when the original sale was £320.  Based on minimum bid increments of £10 (could be £20, I don't know) it means there's a £50 difference between your max bid and the winner.  That suggests there was at least another bidder in between and maybe even 2.

Looking at his feedback, he sold a 1/4 Proof Krug on 3rd July and feedback was left.

 

Notice he's from Hove in Essex.  There is another seller with a coin and he just happens to be from Hove in Essex.  On the 22nd June he sold the exact same 1/4 Proof Krug and again, feedback was left.

Since feedback was left it suggests that the sale actually went through.  Might not have done but most probably did.

This other seller also has an interesting coin up for sale.  A 1989 1/4 NY Expo Medal.

Unfortunately, research suggests that all three coins have been counterfeited and in circulation since 2013

Link to details on the 2005 PF69 and PF70 fake Krugs etc.

I just don't get why the second chance offer would be £50 cheaper than the auction sale price [emoji15]

Second chance offer goes to the next bidder as far as I was aware, which couldn't be £50 behind the winning bid.

Unless he has more than one with the same grading reference, in which case I'd be pretty concerned.
