    Gday Stackers, unfortunately current circumstance see's us having to close down. Before the rumors start, we are not bankrupt or have any type of finance problems, it is more along the lines of a legal issue that I will discuss further down the track.

    Currently the issue COULD have a flow on effect to the entire industry so we are going to continue to help in the bullion industry but close down or at least suspend all trading until further notice. Currently this issue only effects South Gippsland Bullion.

    We would like to thank our clients, buyers club members, silverstackers and others that have supported our business these last few years.

    We would also like to thank SBA, Bullion List, Bullion money, Goldstackers, Perth Bullion and the forum admin at silverstackers for their help over the years.

    SGB will focus the next few weeks contacting people so we can get your allocated sent to you. (All stock and customer orders are not affected in anyway what so ever - we will send out as normal)

    We will also publish and update all the final mintages to our SGB rounds.

    Certainly the end of an era, but not the end of the world.
    Cheers all, Ice.

    On a lighter note, when an artist dies, his paintings are worth more; I expect to see your rounds I'm holding go up in value!

    I certainly wouldnt sell any until we get the final mintage figures up!!! Some will be pretty low, one being the penguin would be around 60oz same for the milkspotting RA!

    I got a milk spotted RA. Even if it goes up now, I don't think I will ever sell it.

    "In The End"

    It starts with
    One thing I don't know why
    It doesn't even matter how hard you try
    Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
    To explain in due time
    All I know
    Time is a valuable thing
    Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
    Watch it count down to the end of the day
    The clock ticks life away
    It's so unreal
    Didn't look out below
    Watch the time go right out the window
    Trying to hold on but didn't even know
    I wasted it all just to watch you go

    I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
    What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

    I tried so hard
    And got so far
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter
    I had to fall
    To lose it all
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter

    One thing, I don't know why
    It doesn't even matter how hard you try
    Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
    To remind myself how
    I tried so hard
    In spite of the way you were mocking me
    Acting like I was part of your property
    Remembering all the times you fought with me
    I'm surprised it got so (far)
    Things aren't the way they were before
    You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
    Not that you knew me back then
    But it all comes back to me
    In the end

    You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
    What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

    I tried so hard
    And got so far
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter
    I had to fall
    To lose it all
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter

    I've put my trust in you
    Pushed as far as I can go
    For all this
    There's only one thing you should know
    I've put my trust in you
    Pushed as far as I can go
    For all this
    There's only one thing you should know

    I tried so hard
    And got so far
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter
    I had to fall
    To lose it all
    But in the end
    It doesn't even matter

    And this is dedicated to the OTHERS that like to read what I post here at silverstackers.

    "Time Is Running Out"

    I think I'm drowning
    Asphyxiated
    I wanna break this spell
    That you've created

    You're something beautiful
    A contradiction
    I wanna play the game
    I want the friction

    You will be the death of me
    You will be the death of me

    Bury it
    I won't let you bury it
    I won't let you smother it
    I won't let you murder it

    Our time is running out
    Our time is running out
    You can't push it underground
    You can't stop it screaming out

    I wanted freedom
    Bound and restricted
    I tried to give you up
    But I'm addicted

    Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
    You'd never dream of
    Breaking this fixation

    You will squeeze the life out of me

    Bury it
    I won't let you bury it
    I won't let you smother it
    I won't let you murder it

    Our time is running out
    Our time is running out
    You can't push it underground
    You can't stop it screaming out
    How did it come to this?
    Oh

    You will suck the life out of me

    Bury it
    I won't let you bury it
    I won't let you smother it
    I won't let you murder it

    Our time is running out
    Our time is running out
    You can't push it underground
    You can't stop it screaming out
    How did it come to this?
    Oh

    I want to give a shout out and thanks to Iceblue and behind the scenes, Mrs Iceblue, for SGB's excellent customer service, some great group buys, and the series of SGB rounds that they minted. It's a real shame to see you leaving the bullion business.

    Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours :)

    that's a real shame, hope it doesn't end up hurting you too much mate.

    admittedly been awhile, but you guys were up there with the best dealers I have ever dealt with.

    and now I'm curious what's got you spooked...

    Thanks mate.
    Its not just SGB that is spooked - its the entire industry.
    Once our paperwork arrives, expecting any tick of the clock, we can share more with you all.
