FAO Gold Rampers

I am considering investing in gold but as I have always ruled out this possibility previously, my knowledge of the subject is very limited so I am looking for advice from the gold rampers here.
When looking for a price where is the best place to look and what kind of markup can I expect to pay when buying? If I went in this direction I would be looking at ingots, at current prices how many(weight and number) could I buy for £10000?

Gold isnt really an investment. You could loose your shirt. You;d be better off splitting your 10k in maybe three chunks in different funds.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..0

I'd ask on the savings and investments board. This one is about buying houses, not gold

Property is simply held in tenure by grace of the Crown so Gold is probably safer !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..0

Sorry I had not realised I was still in the House buying forum when I posted. I think I was just so used to the house price ramping there is here, that I overlooked where I was.
What do I do to get this moved? After being a member for a decade I suppose I should know how to do this kind of thing:o0 -

Histrocially, in times of financial uncertainties, gold has been seen as a 'safe haven' for your money."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0
