All these gold buyers can afford to do is give 65% and they have to buy lots of it. If you show up at the refineries with a couple of ounces, do you think they will give you money

The gold has to be assayed in a lab so they know what purity it is, some labs want up to 30 grams just to do a full assay and they keep it. You do not get it back, and you have to pay them money on top of that for the assay. There is a company that will partly assay it if you give them $50.oo and 2 - 5 grams. however they will not smelt it, unless you have over 700 grams, and that is more than 20 troy ounces. the gold buyers are investing big time money...their money, and not to mention the gamble of the gold prices. If I had 36 ounces to sell to a buyer I would only get aprox $ 18,700 , but at a refinery I should get close to $37,400.
the buyer has to give me 18 thou for my gold and he is stuck with it. I walk away with his money. He still has to sell it to the refinery and he will only make 18 thou. if that gold pirice drops, then he will make a lot less. most all NorthAmerican placer gold is betwwen 80 and 92% most of that is only around 83% which is only 18 carrott. You know, its funny, that there was gold show on TV where they were saying that gold prices are about to skyrcoket any time!!! so now is the time to buy their gold at cost!!! If this is true, then why don't they keep their gold and make 10 times the money.? Why are they trying to sell thier gold so bad?? Why??, cause they don't want gold!!! They want MONEY!!! If I took $500.oo worth of gold to the store to buy a pack of smokes, they would kick me out!!! They dont want my gold!!! They want my MONEY!!! The only thing that is worth money these days, is MONEY. Don't tell me that you actually belive what is on the television. Television is a freek show circus and they will have everything and anything on there, just to have it on there. Most of those celeberties are not even real!!! Only digital projections...even to so called old movies are not so old as to what they want you to belive. so now the gold buyers have to be very carefull, cause some day, they might end up with all the gold,,, but NO MONEY!!!! Then it is time to pay THE BILLS!!! and PROPERTY TAXES!!! The bill collectors and so forth, ,,,well,.....they want.....MONEY!!!!MONEY MONEY!!! they will not accept gold as payment. Oh,....one more thing......all the refinery has to say is,...." Sorry sirrrrrrrr, but we are not purchasing gold at this moment...would you like to buy some?"
