THE FORMULA

Read the math before you buy

Spot-equivalent value: entered spot price × fine troy ounces. Product premium: (dealer product price − spot-equivalent metal value) ÷ spot-equivalent metal value. All-in premium: (delivered cost − spot-equivalent metal value) ÷ spot-equivalent metal value.

A documented buyback quote is useful for illustrating the immediate difference between paying the full purchase price and receiving the dealer's offer. It is not a promise of future liquidity. The CFTC buyer advisory recommends checking both the spread and every fee in writing.
