iamariva1957 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I have a question... what is with all the button pushing on those calculators that the gold shop staff do when you go in and ask how much. Gold has a market price then if you add the profit margin that should give you 2 numbers to enter in. But one can stand there and watch them hit button for like full minute. Then they come up with a number that seems to make no sense to me at all. So between the 2 price system here and the feeling that someone is being taken for a price ride... I thought I would ask. I simply want to buy one of those 20 or 10 gram (aprox) bars as a gift. Not interested in the chain, rings, etc. Any info and/or advise would be great. Thanks in advance!

CharlieH Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 You are forgetting the cosmetic aspect, the jewellery/design etc, its not just the gold weight. It had to be made into a ring a bracelet a necklace or whatever. In reverse, selling it to the shop, its the weight, the scrap value of just the weight nothing more.

If you are just buying a 'block' of gold ... one baht of gold ...you should just be paying the advertised price. The shop will display the buying and selling price of one baht. For jewerly as explained by CharlieH. Edited January 8, 2016 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 If you are buying gold in baht quantities, they usually whack on an extra 150 - 200 baht, which I assume is a transaction cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
