Given they are for sale at apmex for under $USD 60 something seems amiss here. Apmex are usually the first to push their prices sky high ahead of ebay prices.
Could you please explain to the forum how you determined this amount. The apmex website shows no inventory for sale of the 2008 . I frequently view the quotes for the 1 oz Kookaburra's and the 2008 has been priced at 144.00 US prior to no stock available. This quote is prior to shipping so if a buyer desires to purchase only one 1 oz 2008 Kookaburra he is looking at the wrong side of 144.00+25.00 shipping =169.00.
Once again I pose the inquiry where did you get the idea of 60.00. I am aware that apmex did or does have some 2008 Kookaburra available that are less then perfect for a substancial mark down, perhaps this is the coin that you are referring to , with all respect!! Remember ebay sales are quite transparent it is simply sale + shipping if there is any. Wheareas apmex you have to hunt down the shipping rates as well as difference in payment if you settle in cash or credit card.
