How to choose a gold buyer

Bottom line

A trustworthy dealer states a clear buyback price, weighs on a customs-verified scale, pays by bank transfer or cheque (never cash), and records the transaction in the police register with your ID.

How is this ranking built?

We list the gold buyers in Besançon via Google Business and the trade register, then apply a grid of public criteria: reviews (rating × volume), opening hours, price transparency, compliance, services. Refreshed monthly, with dated, verifiable data.

Bottom line

Ranking based on public data, refreshed every month. Every data point is dated and verifiable.

Frequently asked questions

Can I be paid in cash for my gold?

No. In France, a professional’s payment for precious metals must be traceable: bank transfer or cheque. A buyer offering cash is breaking the law.

Is showing the gold spot price transparency?

No. The spot price is public and global. The only useful figure is the buyback rate: the percentage of the spot price actually paid, which reveals the margin.

What documents are needed to sell gold?

A valid ID: the transaction is recorded in the police register. A purchase invoice lets you opt for the capital-gains regime.
