Silver Stackers Forum

I only have the one 10oz bar at present which is a perth mint one and secured through a private sale.  I want to get more in the future, the best source I have seen for them locally is bullion bourse.  I'd buy them through my local dealer if he stocked them.

i have some NTR and pan americans, i got them od ebay stateside, dont you guys have an AU ebay?

not many 10oz are listed on au ebay, its cheaper buying them locally than ebay.

A good place I have found them is "Momssilvershop.com" . Postage will be a little, but you can get all types of good 10 Oz bars from them. Thats where I got many of mine from to begin with.

I bought a handful of the Scottsdale 10oz "Stackers" and haven't seen a nicer bar yet. Here are some pics of one of mine:

And where did you get them from? They are beautiful.

I obtained my first Perth Mint 10oz bars the other day - love them:



Keen on stacking more of these. 1oz Kook for comparison.

They're all slightly overweight - one was over 10.1oz.

I have only just emailed Scottsdale earlier today to see whether they will accommodate orders under AUD$1000 to assist avoiding Customs/Import tax as currently their FAQ advises only purchases over US$1000 will be shipped internationally. I want some of their new Scottsdale Omnia Silver Rounds

Thanks hobo-jo, I'm really looking forward to finding out what they say.

Same here, I will be in the market for some 10oz bars shortly, and those Scottsdale ones look great.

Just a heads up, I posted in this thread yesterday about some Scottsdale Silver 10oz stackers and a few were keen to know how they can be purchased ands whether they would waive their US$1000 minimum for international orders to get past the customs/import duty in AUS.

They advised they can do an order under AUD$1000 for me to avoid customs/stamp duty costs. You would need to email them: sales@scottsdalesilver.com with what you want to order and they can approve and provide an invoice/payment form. Seems they are a little flexible on the minimum order size.

Quote for postage on 40 x 1oz coins via Fedex was $50 (I assume USD)

Would end up costing a little more per 10oz bar for their stackers than a 10oz Perth mint bar (probably around $5-10 more at today's prices) and their rounds will cost a little more than generic rounds you can buy locally, but sometimes it's nice to treat yourself

Also emailed them only works out 10 dollars more if i buy from scottdale rather then in oz.Now i know where i will be getting my 1 ounce bars from.Cheers.

By my rough calculations on 1 ounce bars you would be looking at around $1.60 per ounce more than buying locally from Bullion Bourse.

e.g. 40 x The One bars = US$820 + US$50 post = US$870 = AU$987 (current PayPal cost) / 40 = $24.68 per bar

Locally from Bullion Bourse you can get generic 1oz bars for $23.10 per bar (pretty sure their prices include postage)

So around $1.60 per oz more for a prettier stack. IMO worth it for a few nice ones to look at, but not for any bulk purchases.

I just done the calculations

40 oz from scottdale shipped and insured $955

40 oz from bullionbourse shipped not insured $929


So a $26 difference.Worth it imo for these

Hey Hobo, what's the deal with customs/import tax over $1000 AUD?
Very tempted to make an order. Do I need to keep it to 40oz?
Some of my favorite bars by the way! Beautiful!

See here for more information, I believe GST and customs duty would be applicable for imports arriving over that amount:

You will need to email them regarding your order, they may allow a smaller order, but keep in mind that in general their minimum requirement would be US$1000 so unsure how small an order would be worth their while organising. My order will be US$812 + post and they were ok with it.

Can I just refer to this SS topic and maybe add to the confusion a little? From Projack's example it seems you don't pay either GST or customs/import tax on precious metals
