Out at the local shopping mall today. I asked the young woman how much for 9ct gold today - shock horror. 9ct = $8.50 per gram. Perth MInt is buying right now = $17.50 Fair Dinkum
Not a coincidence, many of the gold buying popup shops pay almost exactly half what they'd get at a real dealers. That way they don't have to walk far too her their profits.
I actually did some google before I went. There are really good shops that offer really good prices. I actually sold a bunch of the stuff for spot+2%. (we had this discussion a while back, they get to claim gst back. so they profit like 8%)
perth mint isnt paying good prices either,,,,,,,fri i sold $8265 of scrap and got 102%................spot plus 2% is very very close to the best prices paid any place in Australia..last month i did over $10,000 in scrap and got and will allways get 102%......look around if you selling scrap.dont pay admin fees,...................
