Its a long shot but anyone in the market for physical Silver? I have a 5 kilo bar looking to sell.

Bullion by post will give me £2900 for it, yet they sell it for £4000 for a bar....that is some mark up

They are offering you spot price. There is a disconnect between the spot price and the physical price in smaller bars/rounds/coins but you'll probably struggle to get much more than spot for a bar that big.

Worth remembering as well that their real sale price is £3333.33 as one sixth will be VAT

FWIW, I'm not telling you you take the price. Just posting for info.

Yes but I think you'd struggle to buy an actual bar for that price

Remember you posting about gold & silver a few years ago.

I bought a bit of each, sold the gold for same price, kept the silver in various bits, always felt like a good investment because of its value in medical etc. usage.

Without VAT it is selling slightly below that, but unless a private sale you will always be lumbered with that extra 20%

That was about 10-15 years ago

I still have silver I bought for £9.50 per ounce VAT free from Guernsey. Gold recently reached an all time high with inflation (which obviously makes the gain irrelevant in terms of purchasing power).

I'm just regretting not listening to my mate who told me palladium would be the next big thing when it was about £350 per ounce. Now £1123

Sorry, how sure what you mean? That's the current spot price of Palladium.

The Guernsey thing was due to some sort of 'loophole' where under a certain amount (something like £17) you didn't need to pay VAT. So I would get coins delivered each in individual envelopes. I'm sure the postman loved me.

That 'loophole' has now closed as far as I know.

There's more...

''Palladium is named after the asteroid Pallas, in turn named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, Pallas.'

https://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/46/palladium#:~:text=Palladium%20is%2

'Palladium is chemically like platinum, a substance studied by William Hyde Wollaston at his laboratory just off Fitzroy Square. He discovered palladium in residue from his platinum experiments. Many elements have been discovered in odd residues leftover when work was supposedly finished.

Wollaston did not trumpet his discovery but put palladium on sale under the name 'new silver' at a Mr and Mrs Forster's shop at 26 Gerrard Street and offered a huge £20 prize to anyone who could assemble it from other elements in front of witnesses. No one was able to claim the prize and Wollaston unmasked himself as the discoverer of palladium in 1805.'
