MattFS218 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am wondering if its standard to charge a commission or delivery fee when purchasing 1 baht gold coins at Gold Shops. This fee is in addition to the buy/sell difference of the gold price set by the Thai Gold Association. I went into a Gold Shop at Central Chonburi Aurora, was the company and they wanted 250 baht above the sell rate to walk out of the shop with 1 baht physical gold. I read on other forms this might be a "gold certificate" fee. I am wondering if all gold shops charge this mark-up--if so is it uniform. Do certain shops have lower markups? Also is here a fee when selling back gold above the (typically 100 baht buy/sell spread). If I drive all the way to Hua Heng Seng at Seacon square, will I also be charged this fee above the current buy/sell price for taking home physical gold in baht form (NOT jewelry). What about making the trek to Chinatown. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 the spread for 96.5% baht ingots is 100 per baht weight (there is a daily buy-sell quote each day with a spread of B100--sometimes the amounts changes multiple times in a day) I get the 5 baht weight ingots at HuaSengHeng....they also have 10 baht and bigger weights... http://www.huasengheng.com/product_gold_96_5.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
