How to use the leaderboards to buy/sell gold smartly
Gold prices move constantly and shops/banks differ on bid and ask. This page turns live data into two boards: for buying pick the lowest ask, for selling pick the highest net — at a glance.
What matters when buying
Your cost = the ask (retail) price. On the same day asks can differ by hundreds per tael; pure-gold investment (bars, pellets) carries a lower premium, while jewellery adds labour.
What matters when selling
Your net = the bid (buy-back) minus commission / weighing loss. A high quote isn't always a high net — see the sell guide and net calculator.
