A shame that you are looking for the silver ones - have a spare gold 10p and 2p to go!

Certainly not - I'm sure I'd be breaching some law these days

Within a minute of putting this up I had some joker offer me £2200. Message to all jokers - go back to eBay

Obverse is nice; reverse has a spot at 5 o'clock and some smudging 3-5 o'clock

Here we have approx 148g of Scandi 830 cutlery - 3 different hallmarks as shown (1 Swedish and 2 Norwegian) a Russian fork (84 koloshniks = 84/96 = 875 silver) weighing approx 74g and a German 800 ladle and spoon weighing approx 118g Off 23.37 spot and pricing at 95%, that gives £87.70 for the Scandis, £46.20 for the Russian one and £67.40 for the German ones. All including delivery (will be Tracked 48) or £200 delivered for the whole lot

Approx. 19cm diameter. Postage included - Tracked 48 as that gives £150 insurance, which is enough here. Not a bad thing though selling at scrap price

I messaged this guy to ask if he was interested - yes; I then weighed the metal up and sent him an offer (95% of spot so a serious one) - he read my message but didn't reply; I messaged him again this morning - he read the message but didn't reply. I'd suggest that other members don't waste their time with this gentleman - at best a total lack of manners (takes 10 seconds to reply "thanks but not for me") or else a total time-waster

Not quite correct...there is a reporting requirement if proceeds are over a certain amount, regardless of the amount of gain. It is usually 3x the tax free limit, so expect to be £9k for this year. meaning if the proceeds are over £9k you will have to report regardless of the actual profit

On the CGT section, you just upload it (actually needs to be converted to pdf but it's anyway just an excel). I imagine not doing so when your profit is over £3k (or they know your disposals are over £9k) would attract attention. It's straightforward and all well explained when you complete the tax return. At the beginning, there are some basic questions - if I remember, are your CGT-able profits over £3k/disposals over £9k is one of them; answer yes and the CGT section is ready and waiting for you

My understanding is that a gold bar is not a chattel. Agree with the overall advice - a swap is a disposal for CGT purposes. In my experience, no need. If the total of your CGT-able disposals is over the HMRC limit (think will be £9k this tax year) or your CGT-able profit is over £3k this year, you have to add in an excel listing the disposals. I've always made a simple list - "100g gold bar", "Canadian Maple Leaf 1oz gold coin" etc - and never had any questions. As regards, sales price (and purchase price), again just do something sensible. E.g., if you sold 5 x 100g bars for £30,000, you would allocate the sales proceeds as £6k per bar As regards the £3k CGT-free limit, if you have to provide the list of disposals, don't deduct the £3k - the tax form asks for total profit and deducts the £3k for you. (Some wrinkles if you have items sold at a loss/carried forward losses from previous years but sounds like these won't apply)

Sure - messaging you

Hi there..do you have a price update with the lower spot? Cheers Howard

I never realised that my 100 trillion note had been such a good investment - much better than my silver! If anyone is interested in the 100 trillion - perhaps to complete the set with the 10,20 and 50 trillion? - give me a shout
