This mornings Royal Mint **** up

[Bogart]

Finally got the 4 coin sovereign set in my basket. Do we think £2395 is a decent price for the 4 coin proof set?

[Zhorro]

I don't understand the title of this thread - everything seems to have gone very smoothly for once.

[Bogart]

The RM  site is as usual a disaster. Would not let me login in said incorrect details. Then see I am in the queue go to checkout says details incorrect.😬

Count yourself lucky then

Now sold out so missed the set. Annoyed too damn right I am.

[MrB]

Taken my money but apparently not given me a coin. Now cant see my order.

How I go from checking out with the set in my basket to being sold out and an empty basket who knows.

[MergingCultures]

Got my proof sovereign. Very happy as it will match nicely with my QE2 Platinum Jubilee Proof.

[MergingCultures]

Website has crashed now?!

[marston59]

Page frozen, when I finely found it, had 5 coin set in basket went to pay and then told sold out????

[TCWalker]

It all went smoothly for me, got my proof sovereign.

First ever sovereign, so very happy.

[Bogart]

Exactly same with me. You think is in your basket then suddenly is not.  I have sent them an email but they do not care a jot who actually ends up buying anything.

One has to laugh at that. Delivery quoted as on or before 6th Jan.  A figure plucked out of the blue. With any luck that set will be a right naff one.

 

I thought RM were bad enough at 80% over spot but this guys makes them look bargain of all time being nearly 430% over spot. He is open to offers.

So I have offered him £2395😁

Surely no idiot will buy at this price. Or there again as they say one born every day.

Gave up with their website and ordered my 1/2 from BBP! 

[Sharron]

Was surprised how smooth it went this morning,guess I was one of the lucky ones. Just got the 1/2 sov to match my platinum jubilee one.

Very happy 😊

As is same price why not.

I was a bit delayed and went to the site at around 1035 (935 GMT). Was queued at 21xx, went to 20xx slowly and then they suddenly let me in. Bought a full sov only, but no half as planned as there will be a bullion range.

Let's see when the waylayers here will finally deliver it to my mailbox. The EUSSR tyrants at Brussels have recently introduced yet another customs form to make life even harder here, even when the pieces remain customs- and VAT-free.

Increase in price, run up to Christmas and cost of living, I am not surprised. I'd have bought more if I could.

[Sharron]

True 😔
