if you believe silver is becoming rare and collapse of USD and back to gold standard is inevitable, then physical is a better choice (i don't recommend, i just say better)

If you plan to buy 10k-15k silver, then better buy from apmex or gainesvile, then you can save 20-25% or get 20-25% more silver than buying from local resellers.

Land or precious metal , you make your own decision.

apmex or gainesvile must do overseas transaction rite? will be taxed if coins, not taxable if bars. am i right?

you will be taxed if you buy coins. but the local reseller also sell you at his cost (cost of coin + shipping + tax) + 20-25% profit


then you decide yourself to buy at cost of coins + shipping + tax or pay local reseller, cost of coin + shipping + tax + 20-25% reseller profit.

totally get what u mean. haha... wish to get someone in sg that does shipping also. then can share the cost with him. hahaahah

find chef, or i will buy a bit also if the price hit 25. if you want to buy from apmex and you are able to find someone share with you, let me know. i may want to purchase something, hehe.

hahaa i am new here. never did any ebay or even international transaction before. maybe wait for chef to order n see... lol... i plan to get some. but still dunno how to get or which to get. hmmmm got fb or whatsapp? pm me. maybe we can discuss further. lol

What's the shipping rate if i order arnd 10 to 20 pcs of 1oz coins? Gainesville looks cheaper than APMEX, but I'm not aware of their shipping rates...tried Gainesville, but I'm stucked at the Billing and Shipping page. It always says that the information does not match

if you just want to buy 10-20 coins, i suggest you buy from local reseller. save your time and money.

Well, browsing back previous thread, someone stated it's arnd USD100. So assuming shipping 20pcs of Panda costs USD100, current price is < USD 39.50.

Not too sure bout the calculation, correct me if i'm wrong.

(39.50 * 20pcs) + 100 = USD890

If including tax, I assume only the 15% tax doesn't include the shipping fee, it will be USD118.50

Current exchange rate is 3.21, so:

890 + 118.50
= 1008.50 * 3.21
= RM3237.29

Each coin would be RM161.86?

Not sure if there are any resellers selling 20pcs of 2011 Panda @ RM161.86/pcs

most ppl selling around 180-190 i think. lol...

well then again... if u really order maybe lets say 100 pieces. that would really bring the cost down again. haha

Auctioning this off on SLS



If interested pls bid here

...

Thanks

ya, your calculation is right. From your calculation, you know the profit margin of reseller is around 20-25 % ,hehe.

So whats the average price of a 1oz bar currently?

exchange rate should be spot rate 3.21 + +/-0.05 = CIMB bank TT rate.
anyone know which bank has the lowest rates?

so each coin would be around RM164.
if sell at RM190, that would be around 16% markup.

anybody getting the pamp dragon can tumpang?

No idea when this will be launch.

wow. stop reading lowyat for 1 week and it's v2 at page 6!

silver is getting hot!

I think the current price of bar is RM 130 - 140, depending on which one. So many in the market, and within a few more days time, the market will be flushed with supplies as most dealer will have already received their shipment from overseas.

chef

i am thinking to pre-order from australia too. but no hurry, wait few more days to compare the price of other website as the stock will only arrive in nov.

Care to share the other sites via PM My main concern is it will just go "poof" in a matter of hours like what happen to the lunar dragon from perth mint.

Any info if this is going to be a limited mintage?
