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. ## Gold buyback rankings elsewhere Browse our rankings by department, region, nationwide and for online buyback.
