Perth Mint are rarely reasonable, they have shafted me in the past so I am not doing any business with them directly anymore. This dragon fiasco just goes to further prove that they are indeed incompetent and unreasonable despite what their marketing team spouts off.
HeavyMetal, can you actually see multiple orders in your Order History? Or are you seeing the message whilst refreshing the confirmation page? Or are they just telling you that over the phone?
Gold 1 oz coins still available at retail section at Perth Mint if anyone ones to go there and pick some up - no longer available online!
No, I am not seeing any of today's orders in my order history. I only know about them because I called the PM call centre. The website says: "LIMIT: 20 COINS PER CUSTOMER This is a per customer limit. Multiple orders for this item will not be accepted via any means. If you place multiple orders for this item, all orders for this item will be cancelled without notice. " This message is on the initial ordering web page. As I was typing, PM called me back. Due to the acknowledged website issues, they have agreed to cancel one of my orders, and process the other one. They had to give me the BPay details over the phone (I still have to pay today). I still haven't received a confirmation email, or had the order history updated on the website, and now I don't expect that either of these events will happen (at least not today). But I only had two orders processed. If my couple of dozen other attempts had been processed, then PM may not have been so willing to let one go through.
this happened to my mate. the email attachment was blank when viewing through the email. so we downloaded it and opened it with adobe and all the text was visible. all good
To directly address the thread title.................... ......I hope so. All this hype/attention/gush is getting as bad as dodging 9/11 bs news in the days following the event. The sooner the perth mint sells out, then the sooner people will go to secondary sources and "disperse". I love collecting all silver, including numismatics. But all this BS associated with a bullion coin...... it's a joke. The extra premium that might be gained over the initial purchase price is not worth the crap of being caught up in the mania. I thought it was all funny at first. Now its just downright painful.
Are you guys talking about the bullion or proof coins? I was even able to get coins that were out of stock on the website. So who want's to buy mine and for how much I got 1oz and 2oz Silver coins.
I was pressing refresh every minute for 2 hours on an order for 1oz gold dragon, 1 kilo silver dragon and 10 1oz silver dragons. Kept getting the error msg, called up and spoke to Linda she said my order had gone thru and gave me my order number, still have not received email, although she said may take all day due to system overload and to call in afternoon if I haven't received it. Not sure If this has happened to anyone else, but if you have an order that continually won't go thru online give them a call to see if its already gone thru and offcourse along with the epic fail of the online bullion site you will also have to endure a long wait on the phone! lucky I had the day off. I think gold dragons are sold out.....
Bullion Coins. The Proof mania will happen on the 6th. My order history says the following Code: Status Updated Created 01-Sep-2011
Just wait till it settles and people have them in their hands. I know a few people willing to swap with previous years.
What about those who do not have any prior years at all like me? Probably this is going to be my first and last year of stacking PM coins.
Just to let you lot know I bought 10,000 Telstra shares 4 weeks ago at $2.80 a pop and sold today @ $3.05 and got a 14c franked dividend during that time. Total profit in 1 month was $3,900 or a return of 14%. My point? There's plenty of options to invest and make money in than a Lunar bubble !
I might be wrong - but if you hold them for less than 1 year - I think you get taxed 50% on the profit made. I am no expert though so I may be wrong. Well done though - thats some good $$$$ for 1 month!!
100% of your gains are taxable if sold within 1 year so depends on your income tax bracket at the end of the year I believe. If you hold for > 1 year then you get 50% for CGT.
Retail store just sold the last roll of silver dragons - a late arrival Perth forumite just came running into the pub with the last roll.
