    Ok everyone stay calm and try not to submit multiple times. I'm sure there's plenty of dragons for everyone. Now just let the PM server rest for 5 minutes at least... while I hurry and put in my order during the lull! :)

    Try to imagine the mayhem at the Perth Mint retail shop and the online store this morning and the delays will be understandable. Patience is .........

    Got through to someone on the phone, said it was the admin department and not sales and she'll put me in the sales queue. More waiting...

    Well it all went through OK but when I paid I forgot to add the reference number so I have a feeling that I may not see my silver until the dust settles down a bit. Still I am in now rush but that was a hell of a way to spend a tea break (extended)

    I managed to get through.. yay.. got my desired 2x1oz gold and 20x1oz silver.

    I asked them on the phone yesterday if the website is going to handle the load, and they said "we'll find that out tomorrow"

    I guess it held up decently but not without issues.

    so whats the craze to buy so many dragons...maybe they will go up in price due to hype or demand ??

    but if all have 20 coins..who would want more..everyone will try to sell and there will be no demand...

    besides I have heard that perth mint can go back on their word on the mintage numbers and re-mint the coins....

    No we didn't it was great. Got a presentation from Ron Currie and the first in li e to buy coins. Very pleasant experience actually. I think the silver stackers auction is taking place as I type. I had to leave early though. Captain K has a 1oz gold roo up for auction with no reserve, but the dragons already cleared me out :(

    Try both untill you succeed.

    Buying online crashed about 15 times just at the last checkout point.

    Phone worked for me.

    stupid me, should have paid at 10:35 AEST when the website was still smooth. i even managed to make an enquiry on the phone without any delay!

    5 minutes makes a huge difference..still waiting
