    I have one 2 Oz ABC bullion button/ingot that I would like to trade for

    $2,000 cash,
    plus one gold 1 Oz coin,
    plus 15 Oz of Silver coin

    I will start the auction with the monetary section amount going down (hopefully) every hour until somebody buzzes in.

    Now, I’m iPhone and site illiterate ( it is not in my opinion, user friendly for me ) so if I’m late in working out this thread then please excuse me. In fact every time I try to upload a picture of this 2 Oz gold bar it keeps coming back with ‘error’ and I don’t know why. So if you want a picture then either contact me by phone or please tell me how to upload the bloody thing without an error message popping up.

    Dutch auction starts now.

    Go into the windows program Paint, click on Resize and reduce it by maybe 50% and see if that works.

    Type "reduce jpg file size" into Google and go to one of the many websites that will reduce it for you.

    Ok SteelHand. I tried your suggestion and successfully reduced the image. Took a screenshot of it, and tried to upload it here and it came up with ‘error’ again. I’ll try another suggested approach.

    You click on the download link that's generated after it compresses the picture which downloads the picture to your computer and then you can upload that. You can also play around with the compression before you press the go button to reduce the file size further

    Dear SteelHand thank you for your suggestions , but I don’t know what a link is or how to click on it. I thank you for your ideas but I’m totally phone and computer illiterate.

    If anybody thinks that the price is a good deal and wants to buzz, I’ll give you an extra $10 off if you do a pm and I’ll give you my mobile phone number and I’ll send you a picture of the 2 Oz bar from my phone to yours, because I just don’t know how to do it any other way. But I know how to send a picture to another mobile phone.

    Cash price is now down to
    $1,950

    It is effectively a reverse auction
    He has a 2oz Au bar and wants:
    -fiat
    -1oz Au coin and
    -15oz Ag coins.

    He will drop the fiat value down over time until someone buzzes.
    ( I'm don't mean to litter this thread, but that might clear things up.)

    StewyD32 understands it perfectly.

    However Due to my inability to understand phones and computers I am unable to supply a photo. But if anybody is interested , I will supply a photo to their phone at any time because at least I know how to do that

    Cash price is down to
    $1,940
