It varies from state to state but in many cases providing your drivers license is also an offence!

Check the back of your DL - it will say something along the lines of "....use other than for policing road traffic is NOT INTENDED OR AUTHORISED"

The Vic licence does not state this. What state are you in?
 
They have been trading in Brissy for a while too - selling Ainslie bars for considerably higher than I can walk down the street and get em for.

Again, trading through a watch shop. As far as I'm aware, all the Brissy stackers have been and the prices have been a put off...

Ah well... :D

I saw the Brissie shop... It was originally upstairs, but it was dead empty, with a sign pointing to go downstairs to the watch mob.

Definitely can't see why you wouldn't just go to Ainslies.

AC&B even in Melbourne are/were focussed on scrap buying, and don't want to sell at what we would consider to be reasonable prices.
 
Here's a bit of a trick to retain privacy while giving ID. Use passport rather than a drivers license. Your passport doesn't have an address, your license does.

This may prevent your address ending up on marketing lists, or worse if a criminal gets the customer list from your bullion dealer.

This obviously doesn't work for 100 point ID checks. Because they'll want a secondary document with your address.

Thats all well and good - but what about for someone such as myself who flies to and from the UK and sometimes carries metals? I'd prefer no information to be given! :D

Then make up your own ID.
 
Wish I lived in a place with an actual bullion shop/trader/dealer. Paying for shipping on every little thing sucks. The ACT has the highest average income in the country so surely it's a good untapped market?

In fact, why doesn't the Royal Australian Mint doesn't make any bullion products? Surely they look at their brethren over in Perth and go "hmm, why aren't we getting a slice of this market?" I live just a few kilometres from the RAM and would buy bullion stuff there in a heartbeat if I could. But as it stands most of their products are ugly (well, those Kangaroo at Sunset coins aren't bad, but that's about it).

+1

RAM used to but stopped a decade or two ago. Some of their designs were really fugly.
I reckon Edlins is pretty good (for buying more so than selling) as you can find good "vintage" or weird stuff and they generally work out at same cost as posted stuff. When travelling though, I always try to make time to stop into "real" dealers.
 
Unless you have express permission to reveal such details in the public domain, please don't publish personal names of owners associated with bullion businesses.

There are privacy and security issues at play.
 
So I can buy up to $5000 at a time from Sydney bullion dealers with cash and without showing ID? Or could this be a VIC state law only? Can anyone confirm this is the case for KJCs? And any other street front bullion dealer in Sydney?

This is certainly the case at ABC in Sydney.
