Btw i found out that coin seller in Malaysia usually up around 40% from spot price. For example, during time i bought silver coin, the spot price is 40usd=120MYR, and the seller are selling maple around 168MYR which is exactly 40% above spot price. Okay i know that custom tax is 15%, but where does 25% comes from? the mintage and transportation cost? could someone share info how the breakdown is? anyway 25% seems okay actually..haha but im just curious to see how the calculations are.
and 1 more question regarding perth mint.
1. If we buy more than 300AUD, the postage will be free? and how much they selling the normal silver coin (let say maple or phil) above spot price? is it worth it to get it from them? is it cheaper than buying from them rather locally?
that's a good question but i think no way buyers will ever know the "actual" cost. yes, i believe it covers tax + transportation and these two are very high. don't forget about seller's profit.and 1 more question regarding perth mint.

unless you only buy a few pieces then you're good to go. most likely you'll escape tax.
if you're buying volume, i'd still prefer local sellers. the cost will be but you won't experience sleepless nights and you'll get the coins COD. to satisfy yourself, you could always give it a shot.
