World coins kilo bags at a cheaper rate?

Hello,

I am looking for World coins kilo bags but at a lower rate, the current market on eBay or Amazon is 7/lb + 30 - 38 shipping

I don't need any silver or rare coins, I just need a coin lot at a good price filled with varieties and none to very few duplicates and a low registered shipping rate (Standard doesn't reach here)

If anyone can suggest me some good shops, I would be very grateful

no idea what currency you are referring to but when I go on ebay it's about £14-£15 for 1 kilo. 

your profile says saudi arabia so I can imagine you will have some difficulty finding anything local. 

You won’t get this for a cheaper rate… 

”and none to very few duplicates”

bulk lots are full of duplicate pennies. 

I know it would be almost $15 for a kilo, but I am looking for a lower price for shipping, paying triple or four times the value of the product seems unreasonable

Gotcha. I don’t know what it’s like over there but here in the USA I can put an add on facebook or craigslist and try to buy coins from people. It’s still really hard to find anything to buy but sometimes it works. 

I get it😭

So unfair that there are no serious numismatics shops in the whole freaking Middle East 

I mean there probably are coin shops which sell lots of really nice and expensive coins, but yes bulk coins in the middle east will be difficult to find, maybe try any local markets or bazaars as thats where I usually find coins (for alot cheaper than the $15/kg)

I am looking for online shops as there aren't any bazaars for world coins and they only focus on local coins

If your postal service is reliable you could probably get good decent coins for swapping.

Any particular reason you want to get bulk coins? You might be able to find someone here to swap with in return for bulk coins

Well, there is an interesting fun in bulk coin

Nopee, the postal service is trash, 38$ for an unregistered post to US weighing 50 grams

You need someone that is flying in country to mail you something. Yes bulk lots can be fun to look through if you get a good one.

Steinmetz Coins, My only and last hope doesn't ship here or even open😭

Why, Just why so expensive - https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10373&ccode=SA&omil=False&dmil=False&retail=False&mdt=2%2F28%2F2024&mdz=13%3A59&m=20&dvi=%24%208&hscode=False 

I know the feeling.

Most world sellers do not send to my country (Brazil), and for the few who send, there is still the expensive shipping plus 60% + 17% taxes.

Even swaps now is a pain, to send coins overseas we need authorization of the historical institute and mails pass through a scanner when leaving the country.

I used to swap a lot in the past, now is impossible.  

what a sad numismatic world

Geison, that is sad indeed. 

makes me want to fly around to bring you guys some buckets of coins…

 Hopefully y’all can find stuff locally, put out some adds. I once put an add up at an elderly care center. Got my best coins from that add!

Ahhh

This is so sad

Postal rates are too expensive and then piled with taxes is just too much of a burden

If you ever vacation in Thailand, you can bring one of those buckets of coins here.

I do t have any buckets, its just what I imagine when I hear you guys wanting them but can’t get acc to them.

 I could buy buckets of coins off eBay if I wanted to because I have access. they are not very good quality lots but at least the option is there for me. Whereas you guys seem to have no access whatsoever! 
 That’s what makes me want to get coins to you guys.

This sounds like a great idea!  I would be putting ads everywhere they have those boards & just meet in safe public places for the exchange (perhaps with someone?)

I would also consider going to the closest shop (might mean a trip to London but that would be fun) & just raid their bargain bin. I have a few collector friends who do this all the time (& we some amazing posts on our Monthly acquisition threads).  Consider the cost of transit like your crazy shipping costs (on a potential kilo bag) & try a dry run (or call the shop ahead of time to see they have a bin with lots of stock).  At least you'd be getting more collectible (interesting) items. 

I'm in Singapore and buying anything from eBay etc does not make any sense to me because the shipping costs are simply too high. For me, I managed to get my best bulk lot from an old collector who had lots of coins to get rid of. I paid around SGD15 for 1kg of world coins and there was a silver coin from the USA in there! Our coin shops here do not sell anything by the mass so getting into contact with a collector who's willing to let go of pennies for a few quids in return remains my best bet. Cheaper lots usually mean more common/cheap coins so I'd say it is worth it to pay a tad more for a better selection of coins. (it's so hard to get rid of some of my coins now)

I've thought of putting up ads in nursing homes etc before but I'm afraid there may be legal consequences as it can be considered as an act of vandalism here.
