Description is a bit misleading.
Platinum might be the moist valuable precious metal, a rhodium platinum plating certainly isn't.

I know, was just they way they've put it as you're getting a big bit of platinum.

That along with 'apply' instead of 'buy' will be all they need for the sort of person that would buy these.

I might get one to ebay.

Noone on eBay has actually sold any yet though, let alone at that price.

What's with the apply thing? Are you paying a tenner to apply to then buy one?

sounds pretty stupid of them, will be loads of people getting them though the post without using their card details, think you just had to use your name and address to apply and I don't think they would have bothered to track everyone of them, so will be a lot of "free" ingots for people.

Got mine too, if you read the stuff with it, you should have an invoice to pay, they send you 1 a month and you either buy it or send it back. get a free gift if you pay in 7 days, also offering a set in solid silver when I phoned them
