They will also deliver anywhere in Japan. I don't know how competitive the prices are, but it might be worth looking into. http://www.kgb.co.jp/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-12843539917761476582012-12-03T09:26:52.503+09:002012-12-03T09:26:52.503+09:00You kiddin'?

Your bank might seem like a tasty meal for some fascist org. But who knows.<br /><br />You hang at a high end gold shop there.<br />Tea pots and giant bars, wow. Fancy stuff.<br />For years there was always a small pile of little silver bars for sale on the counter at my local coin shop.<br />They were popular.<br />Now that I think about it I did notice awhile back that - that pile hasn't been anywhere to be seen - Poof!<br /><br />I don't do the bar thing much, I'm surprised you do. Coins seem to be the best route, but I suppose if you're spending $20,0000 a pop you need a big chunk.<br />Five ounces of gold was the heaviest bar I ever hefted, it was a rush holding it, I couldn't imagine holding that tea pot.<br />It's hard enough imagining that tea pot as solid and not gold plated.<br /><br />- IndividualAudienceMemberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
