2019 Gold Bullion Cheap

[CoinBuyer1975]

Hello All,

 

Has anyone seen this 2019 Bullion Coin advert in the Daily Mail, seems too good to be true @ £234.99 its cheaper than anywhere else i can find, (inc Chards/Bullion by post). 

 

Has anyone dealt with them, checked out website and facebook page, shows clips of them sending out these bullions, must be worth a go?

 

Cheers, CB_1975

Called them just now and checked out the website...seems legit....but caveat emptor.

all price on request or pre order so maybe a new outfit working on the margins ?

Website looks nice, called them and ordered a 2019 bullion, im guessing just wait for delivery.

Its a common American tactic - Loss lead or small profit on a single coin and then get you on a database for future marketing. doesnt mean that the deal is bad though. 

My concerns are that the two directors have never had any bullion companies before. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/DqGC1Qyy_LGAGWjSTvqZpAa6MtY/appointments

And their previous companies have really bad reviews. and some of their companies have been liquidated. I would approach with caution.

Wasn't at all impressed by their amateurish website.
Very much a start-up despite claiming years of experience ( plumbers merchants perhaps ? )
Here at The Buckingham Collection we have years of combined industry experience and knowledge
Allow 28 days for shipping - eh ??
Once payment has been made in full we will aim to deliver your goods within 28 days
How much are they charging for delivery ?
Cannot find this anywhere.

Atkinsons price is £254 delivered at the time of posting and is 100% guaranteed so I won't be risking £10 assuming BC charge about £10 for delivery.

when spoke on phone they advised lot less than that.. and sent 1st class signed recorded 2.99 P&P.. worth a punt well under market value

Low shipping cost is a bonus but as long as they cover loss since RM will not compensate adequately for a gold sovereign if not delivered.
Yes - worth a punt if you can pay using a credit card for that extra peace of mind.

I'm sure they'll have their own insurance.

The bit that amused me was the way the description of some of the older coins starts...”Here we have....”

A very eBay description!

Why is it so cheap? It's below spot at this price.. or am I missing something?   oz = 1010    1/4oz = 252.5   at today's price. Is it a trusted dealer?

[AuricGoldfinger]

Seems dodge

[Goldhooked]

They’re loss leaders.  These companies make their money selling lots of other overpriced coins to people who don’t shop around.  Once you’ve bought from them they send you offers for other coins at ridiculously high prices (that can usually be bought cheaper elsewhere).  I got one of the 2019 sovs from Harrington & Byrne for £239.  Nothing wrong with it.  I opted out of email offers but they send a letter every week offering me something else at a silly price.  I just throw them in the bin but I’m sure plenty of people buy them,  particularly as they offer split payments (pay 25% every month for 4 months for example).

A sovereign is not 1/4oz of gold.  They are 22 carat and contain 0.2353544oz of gold. At today’s spot price of £1017 that makes it £239.

hot sure where to put this, a 2019 sovereign with a matt finish, is this new or have i missed it?

[Joe637]

@Goldhooked Thanks, that's still below spot. Great deal. 
@AuricGoldfinger  So that means it's safe to buy I guess. I can assume it's genuine? I'm not passing on this

I’ve already received one a couple of weeks ago from Harrington & Byrne and if you look in the ‘Today I received’ thread, so have loads of other forum members.

Dont know about the company in the first post of this thread though as the only person I can see posting about them is the person who started this thread, who is a new user and hasn’t posted about anything else yet.
