    Having just left Ainslie....

    When I arrived there was about 8 people in line by the time I was served there was about 11 people. Deals being were done between customers waiting In line!

    A sign of things to come? Or do we need a few more dealers in Brisbane?

    Yeah I was there man :) I said to one of the guys at ainslie "Beginning of the mania huh?" and he was like "uh huh." hehe. Had to giggle at the impromptu trades going on. One dude sold a bar for under spot (I'm pretty sure) which was surprising...

    wow... yeah the last few times I've been in there the wait has increased dramatically.

    Anyone know why their online store is down? Maybe they have a little too much on their plate atm.

    Mania?. Let's keep on mind the tens of millions of people in Australia today whom did not give any significant consideration to precious metals as a store of wealth.

    Did your family or friends approach you today in an effort to try and convince you that precious metals might be a better storage option than fiat.

    That lady from the medical centre whinging that the whole halway was taken up with "people buying gold" was obviously a keynesian fiat supporter :lol:
