    Ha Ha yes I have been thinking about it, there are a few tough guys around my area to do the job!! But seriously, Im wondering whether it is worth the hassle or not. I know its 17.5% but I think in a years time I would have more than covered it.
    Dave I dont invest in many things, only when I see a winner. I missed out on a big one when the house market crashed because I ignored higher economics.
    In a few years time people will have to revert back to metals for currency. Watch.

    I ask again..does anyone know a silver coin/bar outlet in Aachen or Cologne..Ta ..
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Your dog stinks lol
  • I've been having a quick look at this site:

    http://www.coinpeople.com/

    And if you register and ask about bullion dealers on there you might get some advice.

    Thanks Man.
    Couple of little dips in prices. Funny that coinivestdirect dont go as low on the dip even though their prices are meant to be live :)
  • Has anyone actually bought silver bullion outside the UK and brought it back on a plane?

    Did you declare it and go through all the paperwork? How hard was it?
  • Yes.

    I brought 20 maples over from Malta earlier this year, and took them as hand baggage into Gatwick.
    I didn't declare them and simply went through the green (EU arrivals) channel at the airport.

    As VAT had been paid when I purchased them, this was totally legal.


    I also carried 20 1oz Krugerrands over from Guernsey, and again there was no need to declare these as they are VAT and duty exempt when importing them into the EU.

    Hey...First post here as there seem to be a few on the boat.

    Going for a decent investment in the Silver (10k mark). Read about point of sale rules with buying from Germany and flying over there. My question is could I fly over, pay in person, then fly back and have them delivered? Or if not what are the legalities of taking them on the plane. Am I likely to be stopped and questioned? Also does anyone recommend any German suppliers?

    Many thanks
    Have you looked at "coininvestdirect.com "

    Wow 20 oz of gold worth about £17,600 !!
    Better check on the limits as I thought anything above £10,000 has to be declared to customs and paperwork filled in.
    Maybe taking big chances here
