Thanks for the heads up.

I don't think I'll be buying too many gold bars in the near future, though :^O

I do sell gold scrap to Perth mint from time to time. They offer very good rates. There's only one better gold buyer in the perth area that I'm aware of, in Fremantle.

No problems. If it looks too good to be true then stay away.

I heard stories of people buying 1930 penny in the pub for dirt cheap. Only to be told be verified dealers that the coin was a 1936 penny with the design scratched away to make it look like the 1930 penny.

Hi oldworldlady, could you tell me the name of the one in Fremantle.

Hi, gem boy,

I'll send you a private message as I don't want to be advertising a service on here 😉

I have no commercial interest in them, by the way. I just sell my scrap there.

All done. It should be in your ebay messages
