Wholesale second-hand gold refining services
Top Gold offers wholesale refining services to trade customers Australia-wide, with rates that are among the most competitive in the industry.
Many of our competitors charge additional fees — retention fees, deposit fees, fire assay fees, handling charges. Top Gold doesn't operate on that model. We simply agree a fixed buyback rate for your scrap gold, scrap silver and bullion items, and you receive that same rate every single time you deal with us, with no hidden fees or charges.
All trade refining is treated as a priority, so payments arrive fast and easy, keeping your business income flowing.
We regularly deal with trade customers looking to sell large amounts of scrap gold and scrap silver — from small pawnbroker stores through to large mining firms, we can cater to your refining requirements regardless of trade or volume. Speak with our team to find out how we can assist your business in selling gold and silver with us. For more on the benefits of gold and silver trading generally, the World Gold Council is a useful independent resource.
