They seem to be fans, as did the folks at iTulip, which reassures me somewhat. Thanks ABB

The two links no longer work - do you have updated ones? ABB

After reading the BullionVault literature som emore, they apear to use standard 400oz bars, and one buys a slice threof. So you basically get spot price with a very narrow spread. Kitco (for instance) will deliver individual 1oz ingots, so I expect manufacture and delivery costs are higher, though that doesn't explain the spread on pool or unallocated metals. ABB

The only thing that bother me about goldmoney ishteir buy sell spread. e.g.today, they sell at $14.529, but buy at spot $13.89, a 5% difference. similarly for gold, sell at 689.40, buy at 666.20, a 3% markup. BullionVault is selling at about $1 over spot...their literature states that the difference is for manufacture and delivery (to their vaults), so why are gold money charging so much? ABB

Went to silver exchange and they have the follwong message: 'Due to the high level of fraudulent activity, all international purchasing has been ended. International customers who have bought from us in the past: Contact Us to order' Doh. Any other VAT exempt routes to owning physical silver? BullionVault doesn't appear to deal it. If I buy junk bags of coins, how easy are they to resell? ABB
