    76 responses so far - will keep it open until there's at least 100.

    Initial observations:

    * Pack of unloyal bastards :D The number of people that shop at 3 or more online retailers is astounding, and probably a message to dealers that they're not doing enough to retain business.
    * Not sure how to include "sheep" as a payment method. It's not what the S in GSR is about.
    * "Cheapest price" is about midway down the list on top reasons why a dealer is a favourite.
    * About 65% of respondents said ID requirements impact the size of their purchases.

    We shop around because different dealers hold different stock! Nothing wrong with spreading the love.

    Dealers - the full results will be shared within the Australian Bullion Dealers Network industry-only group on LinkedIn. Summarised results for readability will be shared on the forum.

    If you sold ( well listed ) PM proof cons on your website I would do most of my shopping at Gold Stackers. You don't so I buy mainly from Bullion Bourse, as they also hold orders to ship in one lot.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Gold Stackers coined the term "mini allocated" for combining multiple orders - we've been holding orders for combined shipping since we started. It's an explicit option in the checkout.

    http://www.goldstackers.com.au/store/mini-allocated

    We are purely a bullion business though - apart from one or two very limited forays into proof versions of specific bullion coins, we don't sell numismatics or other precious metals items with GST.
