Visiting the Royal mint to spend my HMRC payment
Following on from my post the other day about getting my money back from Her Majesties Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the check arrived in the post so I thought I'd go spend it
It's not much, but it is enough to get me some Queens Beasts 2oz Falcons. So where better to buy them than getting them direct from the Royal Mint itself.
So after work I headed straight there to see what goodies they had for me.
So they have plenty there to buy, but it's all so expensive.... All I want is a few QB falcons!
When buying them individually they are incredibly expensive. Coming in at £47.62 per coin + VAT (@20%), £57.15. WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!!
This is the bit that tickles me with RM pricing:
Buying 10 QB; £43.61 X 10 = £436.10 + VAT - £523.32
Yet if you buy 1 tube of QB (10) it's so much cheaper:
£325.81 + VAT = £390.97.... Or £39.10 each.
I still think that that's over priced, so I might just take my business else where.
Does anyone in the UK want to sell me a few falcons?
