    After last month meet, the question was raised whether to hold a monthly auction.......response was 50/50

    Based on comments from members last month, a few of us are putting our pennies aside for next month lunar horse release......so spare funds are limited.

    So if we focus on listing some low end items to be auctioned ( mainly to have a bit of fun ).......then I think we will have another successful auction.

    I'm happy to have a monthly auction , but we really need to get enough members and friends attending (aim for a minimum of 15 people )
    This way it cost effective for the venue to allow us to use their private function area.

    I'm also looking for a volunteer to be this months auctioneer......I believe we should have a different auctioneer at each meet.:)

    As per last month, list your items in lot numbers .......

    I will be listing some goodies early next week

    If you haven't attended a meet before, we start of with a meet and greet at 6.30, followed by a bite to each (if eating) then down to business (meets normally last two and half hours)

    Family and friends interested in precious metals are welcome.

    Please post on this thread if attending and advise if bringing a companion.

    I will start : me + 1

    I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that Gold _Diggers has misinformed the Adelaide Stackers. Yes this nefarious character stated that he had "six", yes "six" .925 silver chairs accompanying a .925 silver dining table and a further "two" .925 silver chairs accompanying an office desk, also .925 silver.

    THIS IS A LIE

    After hours of investigation, and much use of a calculator, I have discover he only has a total of six chairs. HE IS TWO CHAIRS SHORT.

    He has blamed this on a small group of fairy bandits that have been seen at the bottom of his garden, but I do not believe him.

    To make amends he has included a .925 solid silver DRESSING TABLE (recently cleaned of all smalls).

    Please understand he is not a bad man, he just cannot count!

    As usual, Pinkman White will be attending the meet.

    Depending on the final numbers at the meet, we will see the number of bullion auctions we will offer.

    The stock we COULD sell are the following:
    Kookaburra 1oz 2012 Silver
    Koala 1oz 2012 Silver
    American Eagle 1oz 2012 Silver
    American Eagle 1oz 2013 Silver
    Canadian Maple 1oz 2012 Silver
    Austrian Philharmonic 1oz 2012 Silver

    If any of these items are of interest, please quote which ones you are interested (with number of attendees prevailing), we will see which items we will bring.

    For those who have registered on Bullion Foundry, we have on offer 4 great products! Thanks to those who have made successful transactions with us.

    See you at the meet.

    A joke, no, never, this is true blue, dinky die, .925 solid silver furniture. The only thing our numerically challenged associate got wrong was the number of seats!!!!

    Hi All,

    For those who missed last months meet/auction , you now have a second chance to score some great items at this months meet thanks to Gold Digger and Pinkmanwhite....especially now that it appears that spot is starting to head north.

    To ensure we have another great auction....start spreading the word to other members, who don't visit the sight on a regular basis.
    Would be great to see numbers over 20

    I need to make arrangements with the venue soon , for their private function area.....
    So if you genuinely believe that you will be available to attend this months meet, please post on this thread asap
    Please don't forget to advise if your bringing someone along.

    For those that aren't aware...anyone can list items to be auctioned at the meet.

    Now enough with the formalities.

    Gold Digger, is it possible for you to download some images of your 925 furniture :) just to avoid any further confusion.
    Also...are you offering free delivery to the winning bidder.....;)

    Bullion Baron...good call with your post yesterday predicting the increase in spot prior to a lunar release....I didn't realize the Perth Mint had such power :)

    Well the moment we have all been waiting for........
    Went down to Gold Diggers Storage Warehouse today to inspect the 925 furniture.
    Gold Digger was kind enough to arrange the furniture on the warehouse floor, making it easier for me to capture all items from the balcony.
    I managed to convince GD, to also include free delivery to the winning bidder......

    One thing that I will say .....if your unfortunate enough to suffer from hemroids, I strongly recommend chair pillows.

    Not sure if you guys are aware but we have a celebrity amongst us : Bullion Baron made his moment of fame on The Keiser Report this week.

    If interested, BB is releasing his new book this week called "Me and Keiser - The Real Story"
    Free book signings will be available at the meet......he may charge a fee though for body signing :)

    Lot 12
    1 x 1900 morgan dollar - Philadelphia ( i've even put it in a capsule for you )
    I must say that it appears to be in very good condition coin has not been cleaned
    Still trying to decide on a reserve as ebay prices are all over the place

    Lot 13
    I have NZD$109 in the form of
    1 x $10 note
    20 x $2 coin
    59 x $1 coin

    Aussie equivalent is $94
    (ISWright in the city have offered me 43 cents per nzd$ for the coin + normal exchange on the note = AUD$50....so this will be the reserve).

    If your planning a trip to New Zealand soon grab yourself a bargain

    Numbers for the meet so far stand at 16

    Also as per last month meet, I will prepare a hand out for the auction
