Now that you have an idea of which gold and silver to buy, the question is where is the best place to buy the precious metal?
The days when you could buy your precious metal from a bank are long gone. The providers are now on the internet or locally. Buying from an online seller comes with one clear risk: you have to pay upfront and trust the dealer to deliver what you bought. To verify whether the party where you want to buy your precious metal is valid, we recommend looking at the following points:
When choosing an online dealer, pay attention to the product prices displayed on the site, along with shipping costs and insurance costs (you may need to look for these costs). A dealer who doesn't show prices isn't necessarily bad, but sometimes that means they want you to call them so they have a chance to sell. Therefore, give more weight to transparent dealers. Finally, look for a delivery time before placing an order.

On Marktplaats or E-bay you can find a diverse range of precious metals. However, you must have a lot of knowledge of precious metals to venture into this market. Specific product knowledge and knowledge of the metal itself is needed to recognize products and to distinguish counterfeit specimens or references. We do not recommend that you engage in this.
