Hey all, New member, some introductory info here http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-13369-i-m-breaking-up-with-fiat.html Here's what I'm thinking for losing my stacking virginity. Please pick holes and challenge! Soon to convert $50-80,000 into gold and silver. To start, planning on buying bullion bars. I'm in Sydney and it seems that ABC and Jaggard's are viewed positively on this forum, where I would buy in person. Aurora et Luna (Steve) your posts have been very helpful too, are you in Sydney? I would take possession, and keep them somewhere-where-nobody-would-ever-find-them. Does that sound reasonable? All help appreciated. Thanks, spandrall
hello spandrall, welcome. That's a fair way to lose your virginity. Before approaching the bigger companies I would ask for expressions of interest from some of the major sponsors listed on the silverstackers homepage. Given time (maybe a week at most) 2 or 3 of them could well fill your requirements with probably less premium than you could find elsewhere. Ask for all offers to be sent via email or PM.
yeah i reckon you could easily fill that much from private sellers on the trade forums and then, not only would nobody-ever-find-them, nobody-would-ever-know-you-bought-them ifyougetwhati'msayin
Blockhead is on the money here. That kind of money would be easily spent on the forums here. Alternatively, if you're keen on going to dealers, make sure you're spending $4999 or less at each
Shoot an email to Roo, he's very good and would give you a fantastic price if you're buying bulk Perth Mint bullion...
+1 (either Roo or Aurora et Luna) If you want to shop around before committing that much money, try making a small(ish) $3000-$4999 purchase from several dealers and see which one gives you the best service. More than a few people have tried buying from some of the larger dealers and been left waiting for months before actually getting their hands on the metal.
Welcome Spandrall I am in Sydney and you can also buy in person from me. I don't have a physical store to keep overheads down however anything ABC and Jaggards can supply, I should also be able to fill. The bonus is I usually have stock in hand and you don't have to wait weeks for delivery Shop around but give me a call last to beat any deals you find. Cheers
This right here is the exact reason most of my purchases are on here. Steve is certainly a good person to buy from.
honestly why would you reveal this on a public forum, thats a lot of money and you never know who is lurking?
I second the above - honestly mate, were an extremely honest community - but be aware that these threads are visible by all, and you don't wanna lose your fiat in an unfortunate shotgun-to-face incident... Just saying - its never happened here, but don't tempt fate.
Thanks for the replies, and I appreciate what you're saying about safety concerns... I was intending here just to test out an idea of what strategy I might pursue over time. That figure is big - I was not considering F2F in bulk amount. Likely to be small purchases done separately. I'll send PMs tomorrow. Thanks again
If thats youre TOTAL wealth dont go "all in".....dont put all your eggs in 1 basket...just sayin.Do your research B4 you jump in (if you havent already) In My (very) Humble Opinion
Welcome spandrall, +1 on most suggestions here, i would suggest you just edit the dollar amount in the first post know you have an answer. Good luck picking up a nice stack. Look at a deposit box at your bank for storage aswell. Not just under the roses.
