  • Fri 17 Oct 2025 : We are now paying SPOT on ALL silver bullion.

    Due to exceptional volatility in the silver market, refineries have temporarily paused silver processing. This is the result of silver leasing costs reaching 100%, making short-term refining uneconomical across the entire industry. As a result, we're currently unable to buy SCRAP silver at our usual rates. This situation is beyond our control and is affecting all precious metal dealers, not just us. Please note that our gold buying rates remain completely unaffected and continue as normal.
