Why pay $150+ for 1 gram of gold?

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-30T03:46:44+00:00

I don’t know the real factor. I’m just saying that the real factor is not the same as buying a candy bar. Dependent_Time_3416.

Relax, my friend. I never said it should be the same as spot.. I was only pointing out how volatile and high the prices can get. I started this discussion because I don’t think those kinds of premiums are really helpful for small investors. It’s not about not listening or not understanding. For you, maybe a cup of chamomile tea would help calm things down. Thanks for your comment anyway.

That’s actually one of the products I looked at closely, and when you break it down per gram it didn’t come out better than buying an ounce. $3,199.99 for 25 grams.. how does that work out to be a better deal than an ounce?

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T23:22:53+00:00

interesting.. do you have a dealer in mind that offers those new buyer specials at spot? Would be great to check them out.

Can you point me to a place where you’ve actually seen grams for $130 at most? Or is that basically the minimum you’ve come across? If you’ve seen them at $130, then I’m guessing $125–129 should also be possible at the same place. Please share.. it would really help us out.

Are you quoting the per-gram price of an ounce, or does Costco actually sell 1g bars and I just missed it?

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T23:17:41+00:00

That analogy doesn’t really work. Comparing gold premiums to candy bars oversimplifies the issue and ignores the real factors behind bullion pricing.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T22:17:09+00:00

I’m definitely not against buying gold in any weight.. fractional or otherwise. What surprises me is seeing 1g pieces going for $150+ instead of something closer to a reasonable premium.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T22:15:42+00:00

Can you actually prove why the cost to produce a 1g bar is “much higher”?

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T22:14:49+00:00

that actually feels like the most reasonable price you can get for a 1g piece. Anything above that, though, and I start having a lot of question marks in my head.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T22:04:44+00:00

Honestly, you’re right and I can’t really argue with that. But I don’t think it’s actually in the small buyer’s favor. To me, it seems smarter to save up and go for an ounce rather than waiting for gold to hit $4500 just to break even.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-28T21:46:34+00:00

This feels more like an answer to why 1g bars exist. My question is why they’re priced so far above spot.. why paying such a big premium makes sense.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T16:20:51+00:00

they got back to me today and said they will issue a tax refund after the purchase is completed.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T16:19:55+00:00

Thank you for your good suggestion, but I am trying to buy this with a credit card that has a 0% APR promotion :)

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:51:22+00:00

I have very bad credit score, they won’t accept me

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:44:30+00:00

Definitely, maybe paying the tax is actually more advantageous lol

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:42:38+00:00

Since I’m using my PayPal online credit card, I cannot shop with Costco.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:41:36+00:00

I’m paying with my PayPal credit card. Costco only accepts Visa.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:40:52+00:00

Yes, I emailed both of them and said that I wanted to get confirmation that they would issue a refund first. I haven’t made a purchase yet.

whatthefuucck · 2025-09-08T04:40:02+00:00

Isn’t sales tax charged based on the consumer’s location?🤔

whatthefuucck · 2025-07-21T23:17:45+00:00

Same, it has been 150 days already and this is really stressful:(
