4. Coin Collectors who do not care the percentage over spot price.

What mint does Silver Street ties up with? Perth Mint? RCM? RM? US Mint? I checked your numis prices... very expensive sweat.gif


QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Nov 8 2013, 04:13 PM)
The premium is not controlled by us, Silver traders in Malaysia or any other part in the world. It was controlled by the minters (manufacturers). Based on percentage, yes, we are paying more to silver compare to gold but that is not something we can do about. smile.gif.

Can you do 4% premium above spot for 100oz silver bars, since APMEX can offer that?

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Nov 8 2013, 04:36 PM)
Because 100 pcs x 1oz bar is same as 1 x 100pcs bar.

And, 1 x 10oz bar is more expensive than 10 x 1oz bar based on scottsdale the one bar and stacker.

That's the reason I encourage my customers to buy 1oz bar instead of others. In Malaysia, market still prefer small 1oz bar compare to kilo or 10 or 100oz bar. smile.gif. Resell might be an issue for bigger bars. smile.gif.
*
I mean compare 100x 1oz silver bars vs 1x 100oz silver bar, the bigger bar will always be cheaper due to lower production cost in terms of minting process and packaging. Even when bought in bulk a monster box of CML or ASE will be more expensive than 5 pieces of 100oz bars.

Being said that, I do agree that smaller bars are more liquid when it comes to selling... BUT if we only can sell back to dealers at spot liquidity becomes a moot point.

And what if spot rise too high and the dealer decided not to buyback any silver? tongue.gif

Seng Kiat another question for you: do you know if silver bars will still be tax-exempted once GST kicks in after 2014?

If precious metals are taxed 6% GST do you still plan to bring in any silver?

A lot of my SG friends bought their metals from MY or HK prior go 2012... That was when SG government still charges 7% GST. In 2012 the government tax-exempted investment-grade silver and gold so stacker community grows steadily.

Only LBMA-listed bullion gold and silver are tax-exempted; numismatic coins are still taxed.

To answer your question... I guess we will still stack but we can get our metals from SG haha! A few ounces are easy to bring across the causeway.

Seng_Kiat,
If ur price is so good but ur website not working properly it's really a waste bcos many ppl don see ur good price. And another this is since ur website pricing is totally out what happen if got ignirant customer still click to buy ur silver at wrong price would u take the wrong price??

might as well suspend ur website for time being lah so inaccurate pricing  tongue.gif
*
I agree on you. It such a waste to have a web store where i cant capture new customers due to inaccuracy (above market) in price. But another problem i am facing is we are even struggle to fulfill our current customer demands, getting new customers is not a main priority at present at least until we expend our business.

We believe in business grow over time and we are working hard to grow ourselves as well. Other than working on web to capture new customers, we are also working on financial part to ensure we have enough supply with current/new customers demand. :-).

IF I'M NOT WRONG MANY OVERSEA DEALER WILL BUY SILVER NOT BOUGHT FROM THEM

I REALLY DON GET WHAT U MEAN. THEY BUYBACK AT RESPECTIVE PRICE LAH....WE NEED TO CHECK WITH RESPECTIVE OVERSEA SELLER TO KNOW. BUT FOR SURE NOT AT SAME PRICE WE BOUGHT OF COURSE.

1. Even if they do, shipping rates and currency exchange will deplete whatever earnings you gain. It is better to sell to local dealers or other stackers at spot.

2. Seriously if you don't mind, just travel to Singapore and sell to dealers at spot. Don't need to waste time and expense on shipping. smile.gif

In SG goods imported will be taxed if it exceeds $400.

But so far... My $800 coin and my $4000 coin never got taxed. In fact none of my numis (to date I bought over $15k worth of them) never got taxed.

With a click of button to purchase and send to my sg house. Sg is easier coz still have relative and friends there. Unlike US. But won't do that unless have to pay 6% GST. Rm80/oz have to pay rm5.40 GST.

Btw, vault can trust? If yes, can consider... rclxms.gif

For vault collection I think there is a service charge... And I was told it is quite expensive also. You also need to foot the storage fees
