silver prices are kept artificially low by jp morgan.. it may well outperform gold in the long run. U can buy from public gold, but the price is usd6 over spot price.

edit: found this website. can compare prices..is it cheaper? http://goldsilvermalaysia.com/sg/

Dude u dunno how to read previous post?

and btw.. its stupid to buy 1kilo block silver. u wont be able to sell it if hyperinflation scenario come. buy the 1 ounce or 10 ounces only.

dont invest in something u dun know much about..do ur research first before parking ur money.
there is no PURE silver in a true sense of a word. The highest purity is usually 99.999 for fine silver and gold bullion.
and if u want buy from ebay, dont fall for scam people selling clad silver or sterling silver or 100mill silver. those are fakes. buyer beware.

Thanks for the info.. very helpful.

because the 17 USD is the market price.. it do not include spread.. which is the handling and shipping cost. Coins are more expensive because it has face value and the cost to make coins is higher compared to bar. Some coins has intrinsic collectible value.

btw anyone bought from ebay shipped to Malaysia before? Will the customs tax the silver once it arrive?

rm200 for one ounce silver.. twice the spot price of silver. thats a ripoff.
