<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1515372, member: 4373&quot;]I don&#039;t know where you see Kookaburra coins close to near market prices. There&#039;s an additional 10% tax if it&#039;s bought locally in Australia. Just checked the Perth Mint and I don&#039;t see any silver coins close to 30 dollars / ounce available for sale. Cheapest I can see is the Koala coin, which is 57.50 + 10% tax. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.perthmint.com.au" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.perthmint.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.perthmint.com.au</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, you can potentially buy at secondary market at a cheaper price as well as in the US because of the taxes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Price is a reflection of supply versus demand as well as sustainability of a business. If you don&#039;t want to buy bullions at that price, it&#039;s not a problem. There are other buyers that are happy to pay such prices. Might as well apply to everyone else who wants to pay higher prices for &#039;luxury&#039; goods that could be subtituted with something else such as hand watches, cars, jewellery, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you reckon whinging will help to drop prices, please feel free to do it at your choice. I&#039;m happier spend all that effort getting a better paid job which pays in the longer run. Or you may wish to share your experience complaining to the Perth Mint about their ridicious prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
