Precious Metals Information

Disclosure:

Dealers do not have to buy at spot price; in fact, they typically buy at a price under spot to make a profit and cover operating costs. which is absolutely legal and reasonable there is no law says a dealer must pay at spot

While spot is the benchmark, dealers usually offer about 80% - 95% of the spot price depending on fluctuations of the market

refineries can also play a huge factor in pricing if the market is saturated and refineries become backlogged and has happened and will cause 3 week plus waiting times or greater to receive pay outs

, with the gap between their buying and selling price known as the "dealer spread".

Why They Buy Under Spot: Dealers need to cover Risks, insurance, shipping, and operating costs. They are a business and need a margin to Operate.

Consider it this way: the next time you need a outlet to sell and that dealer says we aren't able to purchase this is because everyone wants spot he or she would be out of business and unable to assist you next time
