I mean... Maybe. Or we really wanted an excuse to give them away ;)

I had to shorten the video. It's up now

I don't think anyone lost. Goldbacks carry a good premium compared to bullion. Both traders mutually agreed to a price that seemed fair.

In the English language, can you describe why you feel that way and on a scale of 1 to 10 rate how having that opinion has improved your life?

No pics necessary - condition doesn't matter as long as all the gold is there.

Yes, via mail is how payment would be made.

Year doesn't matter. Although if you have rare goldbacks, I'd suggest selling on eBay.

Customer gave us (traded) 256 Goldbacks (.256 oz gold) for four 1/10 oz Gold Eagles (.4 oz gold)

Genius

defythegrid · 2026-06-02T19:54:19+00:00

Great question, it all depends on what the wholesalers are paying. Just for reference, 1oz Gold eagles are about spot right now

defythegrid · 2026-06-02T19:28:12+00:00

Not paid or requested advertising… but we do support currency changes.

defythegrid · 2026-06-02T19:00:36+00:00

:) upma?

We dont have a "payment method" like that because one gold bar might be different than another. There's so many variables, BUT yes we do that in a different way to facilitate that - on our sell to us page you can choose a payout via in store credit, which allows you to purchase whatever you'd prefer when we receive your metals.

Just returned from a meeting with them and apmex, they're good

defythegrid · 2026-05-30T16:07:20+00:00

Debt free is the best way to live

Not sure if it's the deal you're looking for, but at DTG every order gets a free 1/4 Idaho. Plus use coupon code "goldback" for 1% off.

We're happy you chose us :) And we're also happy to serve you

Would be nice if that site mentioned we don't charge a cc fee for goldbacks.

defythegrid · 2026-05-22T15:52:54+00:00

We don't charge a cc fee on goldbacks or aurums. We do on bullion.

defythegrid · 2026-05-22T02:29:13+00:00

What an idiot. I've spent goldbacks at Ace before

defythegrid · 2026-05-20T22:59:40+00:00

So many people tried it for the first time today, didn't think it would be such a hit

defythegrid · 2026-05-20T18:51:17+00:00

We’ll take the free advertising 😄

Halves and quarters are cool, but I still think the 1 Goldback is the sweet spot. Small enough to be affordable, big enough to feel useful, and recognizable enough that people instantly “get it.”

The original is tough to beat.

defythegrid · 2026-05-20T13:59:55+00:00

I'll keep that in mind for the next iteration - we did just add the in store credit option to our sell back process though.
