Wow, it seems like someone has made a substantial profit! Congratz!

It's not fair to us that they classify 999.9 purity as simply 999. The 999.9 grade should be priced higher, as the price difference can be substantial, especially in large quantities.

Is that the final place you surveyed that offers the highest price? Or is it because of the convenience of transport?

So far MS Gold is 1 out 3 that I've surveyed which publicly list the buy back price on their website. I would never sell to gold jewelries shop with an exception of Poh Kong Bunga Raya which has a extremely high premium when buying, and selling back to Poh Kong would fetch a better price.

This is my first time selling gold bar but choose MS Gold since it was closer to my house (30 mins drive).
The other 2 shops that I've surveyed but not dealt with are:

1. Razak Jewelry - https://razak.com.my/ - Recommended by some brothers here.
2. Silver Bullion - https://www.silverbullion.com.my/Sell - Bought some gold coins from them before but never sell back.

I'm planning to try out Silver Bullion the next round when gold hit my target selling price.

thanks for sharing!

this gold shop has just raised their "gross price" from rm420 to 430.
https://www.skjewellery.com.my/gold-price/

another shop is selling 422 gross.

if the 999.9 u hv is not from the same shop with receipt, yes, -25% applied if u sell..

if u bought from same shop and sell it back to them later, the calc is diff.

the price u get is current net price (if u buy now) less 12% or 13% depending on specific origin.

so, if today's price is 422 less shop discount of say, 8, they buy back from u at (422-8)x0.88 = 364. (vs 366 in yr case.)

above is what i understood from a recent visit to a shop.

i suppose diff sellers with diff products, focus, workmanship will behave differently, although bound by certain trade rules, i believe.

i think MS gold is a specialized gold bars/bullion enterprise, should be offering among the best deals, if not the best, for 999.9.

gold shops are convenient, they r everywhere, can get jewelry of many designs, coins, bars all in one place.
well, whether ingots, bars, coins, jewelry, paper gold, ETFs, goldminer stocks... enjoy the ride! laugh.gif

It would be nice deal from SK if the spread is indeed 12%-13%. So far shops like Poh Kong, Wah Chan , Habib do not offer that kind of low rate, especially for the gold that is not bought from their shop.

I think it's also stated in their receipt on the buy back condition and spread, which I remember it's also between 20-25%.

Personally I wouldn't sell to branded jewelries shop. Their rate so far out and awful in my opinion.

Bro Sitting Duck, definitely one of the best info sharing. Thank you. Two takeaways :
1. Readers now understand best NOT to sell back to jewellery shop.
2. On the receipt, was there any mention that you sold them gold and breakdown details? I'm just thinking ahead if PMX oso pondering on gold capital gain tax.

Inviting fellow Bro Prophetjul to share his valuable thoughts. Sekian

On number 2, yes, there's break down of each type of gold (999, 916, 750) and amount that I'm getting for each type of gold.

Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know Public Gold buy non Public Gold and their rates seems to be nice as well. Anyone know whether Public Gold honors the buy back listed in their website and any experience to share? I also see that public gold only has 1 rate for 999 , and not 999.9.

https://publicgold.com.my/

I've change my mind now that the next round I want to try selling to Razak or Public Gold. biggrin.gif

btw, did you find all these rates online?

I think there is no silver etf at bursa.

there is also no e-silver offered by any local bank, unlike gold.

U will need do at foreign bourses. SLV is the largest one at NYSE, I believe.

Or u buy physical silver. May be so bulky u can use as door stoppers, flower pot stands!!

I think Maybank offers silver account - Maybank Silver Investment Account, spread is around 8% if I remember correctly.

I'm collecting silver coins. Personally i think collecting silver coins is more like a hobby.
The coins are pretty to look at but spread is so high (30-40%) that I don't think it's a good investment.

Silver coins that I've purchased back in 2020 about RM132/piece (Maple Leaf) is almost breaking even now, but for others silver coins I bought around RM14x - RM16x are not even break even yet. Those nice design (limited edition) can go as high up as RM2xx per ounce.

Silver coin has high premium for workmanship. Nevertheless silver coins are pretty despite being a not so good investment (my personal opinion)

Does anyone know which gold smith shop in KL/Selangor that sells gold beans close to market price?

I need to get a few as gift urgently.

Usually I buy from gold smith shop in Shopee but it takes about a week for delivery and this round I can't wait that long.

Thank you.
