Real Life story for Silver Price in Malaysia

When the price of silver is hanging around USD 33+ (base on Kitco), I made a purchase of 1 tube of American Silver Eagle (x 20) coins from one of the sellers that offer competitive price. He has quoted me RM142 / oz which I found it reasonable after comparing to some of the other silver sellers. The next day, I was talking to my friend who happens to also bought 1 tube of American Silver Eagle (x 20) coins. My friend has paid for RM130 / oz. The seller does not sell silver for a living and was desperate to cash out fast. Therefore my lucky friend got to buy it with such a low price.

The point of sharing this experience is to tell that there is no fixed price for silver in Malaysia. The silver price in Malaysia is totally about willing buyer willing seller.

Good luck for getting the lowest silver price in Malaysia!
