When The Economy Falls Deeper Into A Depression, Will Gold Bar Vending Machines Be Implemented In The Uk?
Or will I have to purchase gold from eBay, at extorted prices, with the additional P&P?
This has been done in Germany.

I highly doubt it. The logistics of guarding the machine would outweigh the economic benefits of the vending machine business model. Vending machines only make money if you can cheaply restock and have 1-2 people service 100-200 machines at a time. It seems like a gold machine would incur too much risk and require more frequent visits by an attendant to resupply and empty the cash drawer….driving up the overhead.
Besides…why wouldn’t you want to buy your gold bullion directly from a reputable dealer? In the U.S. we can order gold, silver, platinum bullion online from several different websites. Which is much more convenient that having to go to a vending machine. Do you have something similar to U.S. Bullion Exchange in the U.K.? http://www.usbullionexchange.com/

Depression MEANS that prices DECLINE. So, gold would get cheaper.
