So you will NEVER buy it for the market price. And if you go to sell it BACK, they will only pay you a percentage of market price....at least 25% or more LESS than the market price. So they can make a better profit selling it to someone else! They might call it an 'assaying charge' (they will say they have to test it to prove the gold content, etc.) I have owned a jewelry store for 30+ years, and had friends invest in bullion and raw stock against my advice...because they thought they could make a good profit. Never happened...gold would have to almost DOUBLE in price from what you buy it for to make a profit selling it. I had the chance to stock up on gold when it was only $40 an ounce...stupid me...I didn't think it would change much. It is almost $1000 an ounce now...I could have made a fortune if I had even spent only $1000 back then and stuck it in a safe!
