What is going on on TJC tonight.

[GrahamBristol]

I am standing by for tomorrow afternoon at 4pm (Sunday 7 September) I have seen them promoting a 10g bar of pure silver. I wonder what nerve that they have to ask for that!!? Bear in mind that they, 'for the first time ever', had 10 Grams of PLATINUM BAR (999.99% Purity) at £799.99. On the usual bullion sites finding a 10g bar in stock has been a struggle but plenty of 5g at about £190 including the VAT. So it doesn't bode well!
So some research on 10g of 0.999 silver (though it is a struggle to get silver that small) and I am seeing £26.50 including the VAT. And 1oz silver bullion coins from about £35.00 including VAT - that is for 31.21grams.
Any betting folks around?

I had to finish this posting off! Unsurprisingly outrageous £39.99 - almost twice the going rate.

Saw them selling Platinum bars last night for £100 for 1g, and 5g for £400, when the spot price for Platinum was £26 per 1gram.

That has to be the easiest money!! No design, no manufacturing, just buy them in, mark them up and sell them out. Cheeky buggers. I know that they would claim that air time costs them and I have no doubt that it does. HOWEVER the margins are extraordinary.

TJC must have decided that bars of solid precious metals are a winner! This evening 1g of platinum 99.9% purity for £90 with one penny change. Mark claimed that you can feel the solid weight of it - one gramme!!!!! Checking the usual bullion sites £54 for a single 1g bar with of course discounts for multiples. Apparently this item has sold 800 units in total , not so many tonight. Last three minutes to jump on.
Waiting for 9 o'clock 2ct lab grown diamond - best price ever. Thrilling.

Another long reply went missing, given up.

Even £54 is pricey. Spot price of gold 1g is around £26. So £30-£40 would be reasonable for mark-up, packaging/design/pendant.

Not being an avid follower of TJC, the couple on as I write, Vicki and the other bloke. Am I imagining it, or did the Australian insist on saying regarding customers on the phone, 'sausages'??

You didn't imagine it. It's a habit of his to call customers "sausages". My husband and I find it absolutely appalling!

I know Ruth Linnett is / was known for her SAUSAGES, but that was almost a catchphrase. But 'I have 3 sausages buying a ring'?? Doesn't work: it's daft

Lab created Lightning Ridge Opal? Isn't that a contradiction? How can they be LRO if lab created. Not that I've seen the presentation, but just heard it as I write.

It is happening again!! How does that Mark sleep at night? Scamming his vulnerable customers.
Pure gold bar 99.9% 0.2g (better not sneeze) , wetting himself as he broke the £100 barrier with ten more price drops still to go. I can hardly breathe. Chipping away at the price, each price drop takes another £2 off. Everyone pays the final low low price - £59.99. Obviously a television entertainment company has running costs and 400 pieces helps pay the bills but still makes me mad
1g bar widely available for about £92.00!!

Unfortunately GrahamBristol they know exactly what they’re doing when they sell this kind of thing.Yes, you could probably dislodge it with a strong sneeze lol there’s such a low amount of precious metal in it. I have heard both Mark and other presenters telling people to take it to their bank to put it away because it’s a piece of gold, nuts! Drives me mad at their exploitation of certain groups of people who will fall for the speil.
