With telly commercials offering to buy your old gold, isn't this a case of "When the shoe shone guy starts discussing share prices it's time to get out"?

Not on investment gold, nope.

If I buy it myself, then sell to the company are there any special rules I have to apply (as an individual not a trader)?

Does anybody know where to look as google isn't immediately helpful (anybody suggesting majestic can go to the back of the class)?

There will be extra charge for heavy weight and odd shape as it would not get through normal letter box...

I expect it to be competitive. I doubt the premiums are significantly different from either of the retailers I know about (ATS Bullion & City Forex).

If you really want to hold physical gold (and risk someone breaking in and killing you to rob it from you).

Hmm, I'll hand the gold over to my associate, then load the big sports bag with a heavy substitute and then claim the theft on my insurance. That way I get the payout and the gold.

The only puzzle is what would be a suitable substitute. I know - plutonium. ...erm can you give me the contact details of your Russian friends.

I'll take four.
