Three year old thread guys... Guys talking about taking $35k loans on CCs at 18% to buy silver at US$46/oz. Claiming it's a no lose situation, as the can just hold until the price recovers. If you did that and were holding until now, you'd have a $57k CC bill, and a stack worth $14k. With...

I'm pretty sure one of the site sponsors have them, can't remember which though.

What about Australian $200 coins? I think I'd take one of those over things like half sovereigns.

Sorry mate, I think Zeus sold out on the day of release.

I have a fair bit in Allocated/Mini-Allocated at two different bullion dealers. At home, I have a bit in a safe. If a thief wants to spend time finding and breaking open my safe, that's fine with me. In the same time they could have stolen a lot more in electronics. Been considering a SDB...

Why do people buy shoeboxes in the City? I lived in small towns/rural areas for my early life, until my family moved to the fringes of Perth when I started high school. The ONLY reason I live the the suburbs now is work. When I get to the point in my career that I can work full time from home...

I don't have any kilo coins, but my 10oz's are lunars.

Are the "2009" and the "2009 30th Anniversary" different coins?

By the time you realise you need the survival skills, it's going to be too late to learn them from books. Stockpile enough supplies to let you survive 4 weeks without leaving your house. Think Hurrican Katrina. A dollar collapse is only the start of the problem. The reaction from the...

Perth Mint: $738.75 (any quantity)

Thet look beautiful in person, but the milk spots have made me avoid them.

It's had quick dips past $1395, but bounces straight back up. I wonder if it can maintain that next week?

So I was just looking at some 10oz bars, and the cheapest I could see was the "2014 NTR Lunar Horse" for $238.11 (or PM 10oz for $237 direct). Then I had a quick look at 10oz coinds (which I've never really looked at before). Cheapest there was "2014 Perth Mint Kookaburra/Lunar Horse/Koala"...

Don't see 500g being traded much. 10oz, 1kg and 100oz would be the main ones, so if you intend to sell you might want to stay with those. Some 1oz, 5oz and 20oz bars get traded too...

Gold seems supported at $1400. If it breaks through $1395, I'd expect it to keep dropping until at least $1350. Not a scientific TA though - just gut feeling.

When I bought my car, it was worth $25k, i was <25 with a crash on my record. Premium was $1050. Now the car is worth $9k and I'm >25 with maximum No-Claim-Bonus. They're demanding a premium of $890 (up from $740 last year). Switched to another (still reputable) mob - $450. Shop around! And...

Gold is about to drop below AUD$1400/oz. Cheap enough to start gold stacking?

They're saying all existing notes will become invalid after 2 years (or potentially make them worth 10% less each year, until they're worth zero after a decade). Anyone know what the legal status of the pre-polymer Australian notes is? Are they still legal tender? +1 to this.

I'm sure many of you are already aware that Australian Banknotes will be getting a facelift in the next year or so, as part of the RBA's "Next Generation Banknote (NGB)" program. But yesterday in the RBAs NGB submission to the government, they propose to remove the $100 note, and potentially...
