## How is this ranking built?

We list the gold buyers in Caen 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.
