    $97 is the price without GST. BB are a bit dodgy that way, adding the GST only once you have entered your details. I was under the impression they were required by law to show the GST upfront, unlike our American cousins :|

    Actually, I'm not "trippen"...[​IMG] :p

    If I was to try and purchase this coin I am taken through an account creation process and it's only once I'm at PayPal that the GST is added. After I've created the account the GST is always visible, as long as I'm in my account or don't clear cookies from my browser

    Oh, and in case you're in touch with these guys you might want to tell them that it doesn't make much sense having detailed images of the Yellow-bellied sea snake in their listing for the frilled neck :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I think that's his point. Under that it says "GST: $0.00" which i think is rather confusing. It says it includes tax, but then you will notice that it says that there is no tax.

    It says the price includes a tax of $0.00, which is false

    PayPal don't charge 3%...dunno if BB does but if so that's also dodgy

    sorry out of topic but even with the dip in silver prices, why are proof coins about the $110 mark.

    That's on the seller side, though. They don't charge the buyer anything.

    Thats correct so you expect bullion bourse to cop a 3% + loss on every sale that goes through paypal

    Well, that seems only fair that it's the same price everywhere! It's a premium coin after all.
