    breaktwister got a reaction from SovereignBishop in UK customs claim that a 100g gold bar is a "restricted commodity"?   
    I recently ordered a gold bar from Singpore which was to be delivered to me by FedEx.  999 gold so meets the criteria for "investment gold".   Prior to shipment FedEx called me asking if I had an EORI number which I quickly googled and told them NO as the bar is for private investment and not related to any import/export trade.  A few days pass and I get another call from FedEx saying that since the gold is worth more than £2500 I need to be an "approved importer" and as I was not on the list I would need to collect it myself from Stansted Airport!   I asked for this to be confirmed in writing and they responded "Customs found this is a restricted commodity.  Need importer numner (EORI)".
    I am not able to collect from Stansted and find the whole situation bizarre.  Banks and Central Banks can move tons in and out of London but the private individual is limited to under £2500 of real money?  A disgusting and infuriating attack on my liberty.
    Anyone have any relevant experience that you can share?

    Yes, I loved those rounds, I bought a few tubes and was able to sell at a nice markup locally.  Kept a tube for my own investment also  
    Unfortunately the gold bar was sent back as I was not prepared to go to customs at Stansted, I am in Northern Ireland ffs.    I find it odd that Customs did not contact me, all the communication was through FedEx.

    Mene’s premiums are insane imo. Plus their minimum shipping charges seem excessive even for their tiniest products. I love some of their products, but it’s always been a no for me. I’d rather spend the same amount of money on a numismatic coin which will retain its premium. Jewellery will usually always have to be sold back for spot unless it’s from a vintage and / or big name jeweller. 
    The RM seems to be coming out with a jewellery range soon but you’ll have to wait and see what the purity is.

    You can find good pre-owned gold 22ct nice pieces for your wife on Est1897. Premiums are variable, but there are some @ 25% over spot.
    I have ordered few times from them and always I've been very satisfied with what I have received.
    Usually, in January they have bid discounts and you can buy even 6%-10% premium.

    i heard an interesting idea on the gold and silver market manipulation. It came from London Paul of the Sirius Report.
    He supposed that the silver shorts were not ultimately being held by the Big 8 shorts (Bullion Banks) as laid out by GATA et al - they were being held by the Exchange Stabilisation Fund.
    Bank would carry out the instructions of the ESF but it is the ESF that is behind it all. It actually fits in with their remit which is to defend the dollar. They have as much firepower as necessary and are in effect above the law. They can have as much paper gold and silver generated as needed to control and suppress price.
    The only thing that will take the control system down is when all the physical is drained away and any remaining confidence in the paper market to determine price is gone. 
    i don't actually give Bix Weir much time but i do remember he would say that the price was managed from the basement of the US Treasury at the push of a button - for once Bix could well be right.

    The CME futures shorts on silver are between 100-600 times the amount available for delivery.  These are banks selling to control the price.  Don't ask me why, becuase all answers are only speculation.   What can be said as a fact is if they are forced to 1) close their shorts or 2) deliver the metal, the price will go parabolic, perhaps no offer as these banks do not have the metal to deliver.

    Basically, we know the large banks are heavily short silver on the Comex futures market, as much as 250 times the amount of silver available for delivery.  If enough people purchase physical silver directly from dealers and mints, or via ETFs (PHAG in the UK, PSLV elewhere) then the Comex can be drained quickly forcing bullion banks to close their shorts.  This is a huge deal and could see physical silvers shortages appear very quickly globally.
