    You also might try going directly to the source, if you're so inclined. Shipping might not be so bad, depending on order size.


    PG&G has an eBay store under ID "prospectorsgold2" -- they do ship internationally to some countries, including the UK. eBay Bucks/Coupons might come in handy. ;)

    But their listings can be a bit spotty/erratic, perhaps due to frequent travel, and they also have to take care of large custom orders, both wholesale & retail.


    You can also order from their website: www.prospectorsgoldandgems.com


    At the current spot price, I would *not* pay their listed prices. Speaking from experience, you can (and should) haggle them lower.

    If you order directly from their site, international buyers need to contact them first via email, anyway.


    I'm a fan of their stuff. Plain & simple, but still a nice look. Love the smooth satin finish & feel. Each bar slightly differs from the next -- do *not* expect perfect bars! :lol:

    But that's what makes them pretty cool, IMO. Not to mention the pre-oxidized stamps, and that you can sometimes get some with some awesome pour lines. There are some YouTube videos out there if you haven't yet already checked them out, both from PG&G and customers.


    I personally prefer their larger sizes, but to each his/her own. The smaller ones are pretty neat, though.


    Certain dealers elsewhere carry them, like Apmex, etc.


    If you're into that sort of stuff, definitely pick some up! After your first order, you'll probably want to get more in other sizes, so keep that in mind before you make your first. :D

Now I looked on the ebay page for prospectorsgold2 on the listing it says no import costs on this item using ebay global shipping program how does this work ? Would there be any vat costs on the import ? Thanks

    Sorry, can't personally help you there. Perhaps somebody else could.


    You might also consider cutting out the middleman, and instead order via PG&G's site (by emailing first).

    Even with any eBay discounts you might get, PG&G's profit level is still that much better when they don't have to pony up eBay fees -- savings which could then be passed onto you.


    I'd just tell them which country you're from & the quantity/sizes/varieties you're interested in, and go from there. I'm sure they'd reply with a price quote, and what that includes, if requested. Then go from there.
