The gold spot price is public and identical for everyone. What sets a dealer apart is its **buyback rate**: the percentage of the spot price it pays you. We checked who publishes it. Business Rate published? What the website says LEAD’OR Achat d’or No “at the day’s spot price” — no figure given Espace Gold Change No “at the day’s spot price” — no figure given Bijouterie GEMME Presqu'île Lyon - Achat or et bijoux - Vente bijoux occasion vintage No “at the day’s spot price” — no figure given Comptoir National de l'Or Lyon 04 No “at the day’s spot price” — no figure given Bijouterie GEMME Lafayette Lyon - Achat or et bijoux - Vente bijoux occasion vintage No “at the day’s spot price” — no figure given Bottom line None of the main gold buyers in Lyon publishes its buyback rate online: all direct you to an in-store valuation. To compare, ask each one for its rate as a percentage of the day’s spot price. ## 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 Lyon 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. ## Gold buyback rankings elsewhere Browse our rankings by department, region, nationwide and for online buyback.
