    I was wondering if i could walk in off the street and sell a Mathey Garrett bar to the Perth mint or do they only buy there own products back?
    Thank you for helping to answer this question if you can,

    Near the bottom it says they buy accredited and unaccredited coins (you'd be a food to sell to them at that price) but no mention of bars. Give them a call... If you wanna sell a MG bar sell it here you'll get a way better price... hell I'm in Perth and I'll pay more than they would

    We buy back just about anything - we are the buyer of last resort in Australia. However we do not resell such bars, not even our own ones unless they are in as new condition - it all gets melted down.
