my 1st sov was around 30 years ago, got it for £30.00 i think, sold it a few years later for £60 or something... oh the wonder of future knowledge......

Painful. I’ve thrown comics out from the 60s costing pennies now selling for two grand on eBay. Who’d have thought that one day they’d be a global interlinked trade system ran from a home computer where people will buy any old tat.

I’m still waiting for my lottery predictions to come right. That probably wont happen either.

I beg to differ :D Stacking the trolley with chicken and cheap bog rolls while swinging by the cash desk to grab a sov on the way out is hard to beat. True, there’s low customer pamper care. There’s no free coffee, no fluffing, no velvet cloth to view your gold on, usually its casually dropped on a pile of invoices from a passing manager who’s taken one out of the safe but! … but :D buying this way is a fair bit easier than making an extra trip out. More time, more hassle. Maybe Tesco will start selling gold too. :D

Some of our customers get (free) tea or coffee (instant😒).

There's also free expert advice, friendly helpful staff, loading bay if required, pallet truck assistance to your car / armoured truck, free fondle of a one kilo gold bar, the list goes on...

Yup. If there's free samples of chicken nuggets I accidentally forget to pick up the nearby shopping so I have to go back. And back. And back. They get a bit shirty after the fifth sample but it sure keeps you going till lunch time :D

Makes you want to cry doesn't it? :D 

No, smile actually, although if we (for it was my cousin and I) had greater market penetration, we culd have sold 10 or 100 times more than we did as an LCS. We would have made more profit, and we would have had amuch bigger pool of previous customers sitting on sizable investments. 

They were good days though, and we used to make about 10 pence each on them (at the 1000 piece price).

It makes me want to cry. When I think about the £££s wasted on beer, clubs, pubs, poor quality restaurant meals and holidays spent pished and best remembered for arguments, I wish I had stayed at home with a fortune tucked away someplace. instead. Anyway I'm repeating myself so I'll stop banging on lol.

Are they like those old school, square dvd disks but with spools on them? 

It's what us old folks had for entertainment before the internet took over the planet.  Simpler times :)

I’ve taken to picking up the odd sovereign or two at Costco during the monthly shop and wondered where the forms they have me fill in each time I make a pm purchase go. I’ve asked several managers and got several replies, all as clear as mud, and I’m still wondering what Costco do with my purchase details. Do they wait until I’ve spent ten thou’ annually and then fire the forms off to the taxman or do they sit on all the forms in a basement X-Files type filing cabinet until they age off? I don't want to get clobbered by some unexpected pitfall through stacking pms I'm not aware of. Any and all answers will be appreciated, even the wrong ones. :D 

Just to try and tempt you to buy online and save money, @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer just tweaked the prices of 2022 bullion sovereigns today, on singles, and a few of the other quantity breaks too.

When you do buy from the Royal Mint, do you schlepp all the way over to Llantrisant, or do you order online / by phone?
