Return of gold

Our customers ask frequently: "How will I be able to sell the gold bars later? Will the Fairtrade Premium be lost?"

We believe that a secondary market will establish itself in the medium term. This means that whenever you want to sell one of your Fairtrade Gold bars, you should be able to find a buyer who is willing to pay the Fairtrade Premium. This would be comparable to higher quality diamonds - for which a premium is also paid on the secondary market. Even if you can't see or measure the metal's "Fairtrade character", it is still a valuable (intrinsic) quality feature.

To set the establishment of a secondary market in motion and to remove those concerns from the outset, we offer the following:

Gold bars and coins which you've bought from us,
can be returned by you to us at any time.
We thereby honor the Fairtrade Gold premium.

We apply a customary spread between the buying and selling price. When you buy physical gold, silver or platinum from a bank and sell it back to a banks, there is a similar spread. In relation to market developments, we might need to adjust the spread accordingly, but you will always find our most up to date offer on this page.
