We know that in the car market, the trade-in value of a car is considerably less that its retail (dealer sales price) value. For those who buy physical gold, does the same hold true. I.e., is the price you pay of physical gold considerably higher than the price you're offered when you try to sell it? Has anyone here sold their physical gold? Were the "net" dollars you received what you expected"
In my limited experience you get the melt value of gold which is usually 10% off the spot price.
