I have personally used this firm.

The Camino Company

They will sell ounce and kilo bars, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, and American Eagles. They also sell silver.

I know it sounds shady, but I'm being serious about Ebay. I've bought and sold alot of Gold and Silver on Ebay. My dad has even made metals purchases of over $25,000 and gotten some really good deals. There's a good metals market on there, at least check it out.

A very long time ago, my dad sent me out to sell a Krugerrand he'd won in a backgammon game. He just sent me to a bank, maybe NatWest, I can't remember. Following from Henrik's suggestion, maybe try your local bank?

These folks are right in my backyard. Happy to go look at it for you if need be. (in reference to the burlingame retailer)

I've heard good things about Fidelitrade, but I really can't imagine why one would want to buy physical gold at these prices. The central banks are all dumping it and governments can confiscate it at any time. I mean the dollar has to be worth something...right?

We are seeing good interest in gold at these levels and have even been asked to set up a fund for gold as opposed to gold stocks. Local asset consultants are recommending gold to all their wholesale clients. Regardless of the economic sense, the sentiment is at least there.

apropos,

I met a fund manager who offered a "gold denominated share class" into a fund.

splain that.

Have you asked your stockbroker? Even if he doesn't sell commodities, he may very well be able to recommend a reputable broker who does?

gold denominated share class

I know a guy who looks at equity markets vs spot gold to decide whether they are over or under valued in gold terms. Is this what you mean? The premise is that currencies are manipulated, so gold is the proper reference. We recently decided to look at assets per kilojoule as well when we get a chance.
