The things dealers don’t always put on the sticker.
Every dealer adds a markup on top of the gold price. It’s the biggest cost and the main thing we compare, a smaller cut means more gold for your money.
Most dealers deliver free and fully insured. A few charge a small fee, and we include it in the price where they do.
Good news: UK dealers can’t add a surcharge for paying by a personal debit or credit card (banned since 2018), so card and bank transfer usually cost the same. A few give a small discount for bank transfer on large orders.
Only if you choose to store your gold with the dealer instead of having it delivered. A yearly fee, shown separately.
What the dealer pays if you sell it back. The gap below the market price is your real cost for a round trip.
Most have none, but some only give free delivery or storage above a set amount.
