Why Published Gold Prices Can Differ Between Buyers
Customers often ask why different buyers show different gold prices on their websites. In our experience, the answer usually comes down to business costs, margins, deductions and whether the published price is actually payable.
Always compare the amount you are likely to receive rather than relying solely on headline figures.

What Customers Ask About Gold Prices

For that reason, we encourage customers to compare final offers rather than headline prices alone.
