Hi, new to this type of investment but it has been at the back of my mind for some time as a way of protecting savings in more uncertain times which we seem to be heading for possibly. 

Hoping to gain some insight and maybe trade with some of you, if I can help with advice in my fields of expertise I would be happy to help. 

Hope you have had a great Christmas /Yule and a happy, healthy 2022 and beyond 👍🙏

Welcome Griffo, plenty to drink her from the cup of the horn of knowledge. Loads of due dilgence here. Ive drunk loads but normally drunk too much offering the opposite sex my horn of plenty, but when you are as ugly as me - its a rare facet and my horrn is like an acorn.  

Best place to learn about PM's and other investements, not financial advice etc.

I hope you have a wealthy good stacking new year and I would recommend membership, depending on your stacking goals. :)

Best bully 🐮💪

Welcome Griffo, detailed trading guide link above well worth a read

Thank you for the welcomes 🙏👍

As someone hoping to become part of this community it was sad to see the link above dissapear within minutes of me posting my introduction, it sends alarm bells on what to trust and whether it's all about subscriptions or actual investors looking to invest within this community or do you need to pay to play? 

It will be interesting to see the responses and the timing to see how many people are active here.

That’s just to stop new spam users from joining and spamming the forum. We keep TSF tidy and free from spam. Not sure why that would send alarm bells, as also mentioned to you in response to your questions in a private message, you are welcome to use the forum as a standard free member. 

Please spend some time and read around the different topics on the forum and note the dealers on the forum and do your research. TSF is a professionally ran business, and there are many advantages for members being part of TSF. Again please first spend some time reading the different topics on the forum.

Also note that you started your welcome message on a Boxing Day bank holiday in the U.K. I am sure that many people are spending their time with their families so you may not get instant responses to questions, please be patient.

If you have any further questions please send me a private message.

What link was that? - describe rather than post.
There are advantages to becoming a paid member - there are some areas you cannot otherwise access, you have more private messaging capacity, you can see the items that are put up for sale as soon as they are advertised. However there is plenty accessible with the basic membership. Certainly if you intend to buy coins / bars in any reasonable amounts it would be worthwhile picking up a paid membership. You will generally find keen prices and you won't become a victim of the scammers on ebay.

This is the only forum I’ve had the option of 2fa and yes I would recommend it. All I had to do was download a little app on the phone. With the amount of cybershit going on at the moment and what we are possibly spending with fellow members and hence our pm’s it’s a no brainier.

Firstly welcome aboard.....plenty of room for another collecter/investor /stacker.

Do you have to pay to play??? Short answer no.

More detailed answer is no too lol.

Seriously though take your time to look around and learn the workings of the forum but I can practically guarantee that you will eventually opt for a membership.

For £5.99 minimum per month you will get access to sales as soon as they are posted ( otherwise 3 day wait) and free giveaways, and even if you only purchase one or two items a month...the savings on here compared to dealers will pay for your membership ( sometimes tenfold if making bigger purchases)

Can only speak from personal experience but in the year I've been on here I've never once been asked to buy anything or coerced in any way.

I've learned so much from better minds and had some excellent chats and buying/selling experiences.

Anyway Best of luck on your journey but maybe slow down and allow yourself time to make an informed decision whether this is the place for you 🙂

 

I like to buy the pre-dip dip

Thanks for the advice, I am already a member, just had a few misgivings initially after being scammed earlier last year, generally found everyone super helpful and glad I found this place :)

Its highly unlikey you wont get ripped off here. People look after each other here, and customer reputation counts, with trading feedback and members get banned quickly if complaints are made to admins if found being dishonest,
