@guywhostacks10122, you need to reply to members PM or you will find that no one will deal with you. You have already lost one of the biggest sellers and buyers @James32 due to this.  Even if you are not interested, the polite thing is to reply and say no thanks in this instance.    
Remember, you have once chance to make a good impression after that, no matter what you do it is gone.

Positive feedback now left for @guywhostacks10122

If you were buying 1000 coins, I agree. A £1000 saving is reasonable.
But if only a few, why mess around and alienate people?

As a buyer, I give feedback on delivery but as a seller, I give feedback once paid.
It's not set in stone 😊

Why haven't you exchanged feedback then? 
🤔

Makes sense if you’re the buyer, as you don’t if you approve of them until you receive it, but if you’re the seller you usually leave feedback after receiving payment. Each to their own however.

Consumer/retail price inflation is slowed by productivity/technology. Asset price inflation incorporates that growth element (more having surplus capital). On another measure gold has moved into mild/moderately relatively expensive territory. Early 1970's gold was very cheap, late 1970's had become expensive, by the end of that millennium had moved back to being very cheap again.

UK house/gold ratio is very much a similar looking chart.
As the gold/silver ratio has increased, silver is perhaps the better value, but as ever its far far easier to make a judgement with hindsight, much less so (if not impossible) at the time, what can seem expensive (cheap) can become even more expensive (cheap).
Much capital has flighted to the US$ (fear), the dollar is relatively strong. As fear subsides and capital flows elsewhere (to where greater reward potentials are seen), so the dollar might weaken - gold rise in US$ terms. As might the relatively weak current Pound gain in strength - gold decline in Pound terms. That gold might rise for Americans doesn't mean a mirroring of that will occur for Brits.

Only joking buddy. You know you took my forum purchase cherry. O,P, may have missed some great coins.

Quite common with newbs Imo

67/33 stock/gold yearly rebalanced (yellow line) ... worked well. Swap out half of that stock+dividends for home+imputed rent, thirds each home/stock/gold ... and the broad rewards are inclined to be similar. Leave the home value as non-rebalanced (impractical to rebalance) and rebalance the stock/gold (50/50). For currency diversification UK £ home, US$ stock, gold is a reasonable choice. Currency diversification of £/$/gold, asset diversity of land/stock/gold, income diversity of imputed rent/dividends/SWR. Some swear by just stocks alone, but you can broadly achieve similar overall rewards but with less volatility with such a thirds each home/stock/gold asset allocation. Otherwise known as a better risk-adjusted-reward.

Always young at heart Roy but sadly it is only in my imagination. i did notice one time we were pretty much the same age - so yes MUCH OLDER.

He has 126 items sold so he is not selling in volume - his prices look a bit rich to me.
These are classic vintage era - 1970's and 80's.
People collect them. 
i bought these from sellerstacker at the weekend. i didn't really go for the bar on the right but i fancied the one on the left. It interested me. Do i think there is something special about it? Well no but i do collect older bars and i kind of liked it, the price was ok and so i got it. Had the price been higher i would have given it a pass - the bar is for me - it is going in a box and maybe at some point i will get it out and give it a look before it goes back in the box. 
So nothing particularly special about the Happy Birthday bar but i like it - nothing special about the  " My Little Chickadee " bar - I mean do people collect them or something? Well some might but it is not shouting out. If it has been a feisty nude woman with big tlts and prominent nipples then expect a premium but not a old fat man with a top hat.

“The Golden Goose and the Premiums”
Once upon a time, in the mystical land of Bullionburg, there lived a peculiar goose named Aurelia. Unlike ordinary geese, Aurelia had shimmering, golden feathers that glinted in the sunlight. Her clucks sounded like tiny coins dropping into a treasure chest. But what truly set her apart was her obsession with gold premiums.
You see, Aurelia wasn’t content with just laying regular eggs. She wanted her eggs to be worth their weight in gold—literally. So, every morning, she’d waddle over to the local goldsmith, Mr. Glitterbeard, and demand, “I want my eggs insured against inflation, Mr. Glitterbeard!”
Mr. Glitterbeard, a stout man with a monocle and a penchant for puns, would scratch his head. “Aurelia,” he’d say, “you’re a goose. Geese lay eggs. They don’t come with insurance policies.”
“But what about premiums?” Aurelia insisted. “I’ve heard they’re all the rage in the financial markets!”
Mr. Glitterbeard sighed. “Premiums, my dear Aurelia, are for insuring valuable things—like ships, houses, and pirate treasure. Not eggs.”
Undeterred, Aurelia decided to take matters into her own wings. She enrolled in an online course titled “Advanced Egg Economics” and learned about supply and demand curves, hedging strategies, and the intricacies of bullion-backed omelets. Armed with newfound knowledge, she hatched a plan.
One day, she laid a particularly shiny egg—the kind that made Mr. Glitterbeard’s monocle pop out. “Behold!” she declared. “The Golden Egg Premium Edition!”
Mr. Glitterbeard inspected the egg. “Aurelia,” he said, “this egg is just painted gold. And it smells suspiciously like spray paint.”
“But it’s premium!” Aurelia protested. “I even added a little certificate of authenticity.”
Mr. Glitterbeard squinted at the certificate. “It says, ‘This egg is 24-karat hilarious.’ What does that even mean?”
Aurelia flapped her wings indignantly. “It means it’s worth its weight in laughter! And laughter is the best currency, Mr. Glitterbeard.”
Word spread throughout Bullionburg about Aurelia’s premium eggs. Soon, investors, speculators, and even a few confused chickens lined up outside her coop. They wanted a piece of the golden action.
Aurelia’s egg market boomed. She introduced limited-edition eggs with holographic designs, embossed with phrases like “In Yolk We Trust” and “Eggstraordinary Returns.” People traded them like stocks, and the price of her eggs skyrocketed.
But then came the Great Omelet Crash of '24. The bubble burst, and Aurelia’s eggs lost their shine. Investors scrambled to sell, and the once-premium eggs were now worth less than a regular breakfast.
Aurelia sat amidst the cracked shells, pondering her folly. “Maybe I should’ve stuck to regular eggs,” she mused. “At least they don’t require quarterly reports.”
And so, the legend of Aurelia, the goose who tried to outwit the gold market, became a cautionary tale in Bullionburg. But every now and then, you can still hear her clucking, “Remember, kids, diversify your nest eggs!”
And that, my friends, is how gold premiums and poultry collided in a feathered fiasco.
