4 Antique Buyers in the Area In today's trend of downsizing and decluttering our homes, it's the perfect time to go through those drawers and cupboards and turn those unwanted items into cash. Antique Buyers, and father-son duo, Mike and Nate, will be travelling the Gold Coast from September 22nd to 27th. See back page for full details. "We are enthusiastic buyers, particularly interested in gold jewellery, whether broken or intact, antique jewellery, gold and silver coins, collectibles including military medals, and banknotes, as well as mechanical watches.” “Everyone has something we want to buy, and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item, as we are buying 10,000!" says Mike Cornish, the company's chief buyer. If you are in doubt about any items you wish to sell, take them in for an instant appraisal. No appointment is needed. Gold and Silver still at high prices With the gold price still at higher than traditional levels, right now is an opportune time to explore your jewellery box and dig out those old gold chains, rings, and brooches, to turn them into cash. Mike emphasizes, "This is an ideal time to sell. We will buy anything made o f gold – old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth! We also need silver in any form, including coins, and bars of any size." Old coins can toss up a rarity Check those drawers and cupboards, you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. Bags, tins, folders, however they come, we will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up!” Rolex and mechanical watches wanted Mechanical watches are needed urgently by the buyers. “Collectors at this stage want brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and Seiko, just to mention some. These brands can command good prices depending on the model and condition.” Mike explains. "If you are unsure, bring your watches in for an appraisal." Home visits are offered for those unable to make it to a venue, or those with too much to carry.

Are you leaving money on the table when it comes to your retirement? Many Australians might be, simply by not actively engaging with their superannuation. At SK we are dedicated to helping you secure a more prosperous future, and research data clearly shows the power of taking control! Why engagement matters Recent findings from superannuation data researcher Borromean Consulting highlight a significant difference: Australians who actively choose their superannuation investment options are far outperforming those in default MySuper accounts. For those aged 70–74, engaged super members boast average balances of $329,981 - a remarkable 344% more than the $95,547 held by MySuper account holders. Even younger Australians, aged 50–60, see a substantial gain, with active members holding an average of $258,000 compared to $144,000 for MySuper members. This isn't just about numbers; it's about actively shaping your financial destiny. The power of professional advice Partnering with SK can amplify this growth. Professional advice unlocks tailored investment strategies and tax benefits, significantly boosting your retirement savings. We focus on strategic investment choices, salary sacrificing to maximise contributions, and tax optimisation to enhance your savings. Consider this: actively managed superannuation accounts average $313,000 by retirement, which is $220,000 more than the typical MySuper member. This difference can truly redefine your retirement lifestyle. Act early, win big! The earlier you act, the greater the benefit. Time is your most valuable asset when it comes to superannuation, allowing compounding returns to work their magic. While switching from a MySuper account can offer significant advantages, it's crucial to proceed with care. Poorly managed funds can undermine potential gains, highlighting the importance of due diligence. At SK, we guide you through the superannuation landscape, ensuring your choices are informed, secure, and aligned with your longterm goals.
