Compare like-for-like offers: a bullion bar, coin and jewelry item should not be judged by the same premium structure.
For a meaningful comparison, match the carat, net weight and product type before looking at the final quote. Jewellery, coins and bars may carry different charges even when their gold content is similar.
For resale: Review the bid-ask spread, testing requirements and buyback policy.
