An ounce of gold is always worth… an ounce of gold. The same applies to silver. Over the long term, the only reason that gold (and silver) get “more expensive” is actually because your fiat currency is worth less.

this is so fucking stupid. you can offload to so many dealers and even online sites in minutes. you dont need some intimate relationship to sell a piece of metal

The main problem is "big" gold, e.g. 1oz+. Fractionals (1/4, 1/10, 1/20) are still going for over spot as they're simply more affordable.

@BackyardBullion

Yeah, totally agree.

This is why I've been buying fractional gold (mostly 1/4 ounce coins and 10 gram bars) exclusively. Yeah, I know fractional has higher premiums. However, since I've bought most in the low $500s, I could sell most for a profit now and I see gold only going higher in the future. A lot more people can afford $600-700 than $2400-$2500/ounce in the future. We'll see if my approach works in the future.

When some of the top UK dealers are paying nearly 4% under spot for 1oz gold Krugerrand, you can tell it's not the best time to sell your gold. Be patient and just keep it for the time being. If the things will escalate in the middle east, Ukraine will collapse (OR some NATO units will enter the conflict officially), some economic crisis will outbreak or some other Black Swan will take the place, people will be buying anything gold at whatever prices - I won't sell my gold under spot. In Europe, on the continent, the dealers pay full spot for 1oz coins and up to 10% OVER spot for 1/10th oz fractionals. Right now, what we can see is shaking off the gold from the weak peoples' pockets. Be patient and just wait.

If 2500 sounds too crazy for an ounce of lump of a metal think about bitcoin.. 60,000 each for something that doesn't really exist.. just numbers and data somewhere in cloud..

Just drop down to smaller gold amounts even fractionals, yes higher premiums but you get these back. Gold will always be easier to sell than silver.

Glad you think so!

Some time last year I tried to sell silver commemorative "coin" sets (medals) . One smaller set sold at slight above spot. The others I had a really hard time to sell at spot and in the end I just gave up. I was flooded by a lot of lucky riders that had all sorts of odd requirements and of course they obfuscated their identity. Some of them are probably fine (been in FB groups long) but I don't run those risks - and certainly not when they only want to pay scrap value - if even that much. No way I'll do the hassle and risks to sell to strangers when the dealer is just a few minuttes train trip from my work and involves zero risks (I'm not afraid of government in that respect). Spot or I'll sell to dealer instead. Bought gold at the dealer instead. Haven't calculated whether that was a good time or now is even better. I just wanted gold instead of silver that takes up space.

I was curious and looked on The Royal Mint website to see how much they would pay to buy gold and it was 96% of the spot price. Could anybody tell me if that’s a good deal? Is around 95% spot the absolute minimum one should accept when selling gold? I’m only wondering.

Yeah, if it goes a lot higher it will be a very tough market.

Never go into this expecting more than prevailing spot price for a return.

It may have become too expensive for some. But they can only blame themselves for waiting too long.

My LCS is very hesitant to buy my gold and silver. If they pay way below spot, then does spot even mean anything? My gold and silver is really only worth what someone is willing to pay for it…in this case my LCS sets the price for my precious metals if I need to liquidate. Trying to mail it into a large buyer or trying to sell it on eBay doesn’t help me in any real crunch and thus my silver and gold don’t really have the value I had hoped for. Ugh.

GUTTED ABOUT THE BUYER'S CLUB, completely understand, tho. I guess you need to be a paying member for the silver forum, I can never find silver at spot on there. A tutorial would be a good video so I can get set up! Do you recommend sellers on the silver forum to prevent fraud?

Interesting BYB. I understand the problem with gold, but I'm not so sure what the issue is with silver? I'm guessing that it's the premiums that have tanked, so that the spread between spot and what the dealers are buying/selling at are too tight for you to be able to position yourself between the two? That said, please don't give up on the Buyers Club - I'm relying on your service to being around for my family when I pop my clogs! 🙂
