Yes, in light of the 20% VAT that dealers have to charge, the best place is here on the forum. You'll have to wait until they come up though or post a wanted ad. I have managed to pick them up for around spot +15~18%. If you do a search for platinum you'll be able to see previous listings. A paid membership would help you to see any deals as they are posted instead of having to wait 3 days.

Many thanks for the sage advice.This forum is an absolute godsend for relative newbies like myself.

Moved to platinum section.

[HarryK]

Apologies for wasting anyones time on this. I have learned two new things from my posting.

1.Platinum coins are subject to Vat. 

2.This forum has  Platinum section. 

😩

We have had a bunch recently, all sold VAT free at about 20% over spot price.

I don't have any right now though.

Amazing price, not surprised you don't have any left 😜

I still struggle to see why the premium on secondhand platinum ( and also on new plus 20% VAT on top ) is so much higher than gold.
Ok there is less of a market but maybe that's why ?
I did find the European Mint very competitive for Pt pre-Brexit but when there was a global shortage prices shot up and have never returned to previous levels.

Yes - this forum is probably the best place in the UK right now and I have bought from here in the past.

@HarryKBest to create a wanted post in the UK sale section, I'm sure the someone is going to have a brit at decent price .

@Pete Yes EM had great prices, I remember the 2020 crash when they were selling 1oz for ~ 600 euros (good times) and after that 3 months  of out of stock

March 2020 - a short lived glitch / collapse in price.
I didn't know if it was real but luckily bagged a few coins, Eagles and Brits for around £580 delivered.
Took quite a while to arrive so I started to worry but all came good in the end.
Oh happy days !
