    Ok thx! Been browsing around a bit... kilos are readily available here in Europe, haven't found 5oz. Bullion Exchanges claims to have them in stock. Of course you're right, it would not be feasible with the shipping costs.
    I got a couple of the 1/10oz mice as they seem to be dwindling. 1 oz gold also well available in Germany, btw.

    I called ABC Bullion today to get a gauge on the accuracy of their pre-order times. They said the pre-order times are accurate and they've even been able to fulfil orders ahead of the allocated timeframes.
    Food for thought for those considering buying from them. Unsure how other dealers are doing, but it would appear ABCs capacity to supply the market is returning. They are one of the largest refiners in Oz, so it's no surprise they'd be one of the first to return to back to "normal". Of course, the premiums are likely here to stay for a while longer, if not indefinitely.

    Something cool: I just had my engine block rebored and my cylinder head serviced (as well as balancing my rotating assembly), and I paid the engine rebuilder in silver coins. My local firearms supplier also accepts silver as part payment - You don't know if you don't ask.

    I just checked your link for "Bullion Exchanges", he has only 12 in stock. No International shipping.
    But if they did, each coin would cost $209.45AUD not including delivery.


    And here in Australia, no dealers have the 5oz Mouse and only one dealer has the Kilo Mouse.
    his premium for one coin is $153 more than Perth's Price (Perth are out of stock)

    Having said that, thanks for looking around jultorsk.

    Best to you mate.
