⭐ Why Today’s Gold Price Matters When Selling
Gold prices fluctuate constantly—sometimes changing minute by minute. Global markets, economic conditions, inflation rates, and investor activity all influence the spot price.
Understanding the spot price helps you:
Know the real value of your gold today
Sell at the right time
Avoid being underpaid by pawn shops or low-ball buyers
Compare offers more accurately
At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers, we base every payout on that day’s live market price — not outdated charts, delayed quotes, or “in-store pricing” that benefits the dealer.
⭐ How Gold Prices Are Calculated (Plain-English Explanation)
We make gold pricing simple and transparent.
Here’s how the value of your items is determined:
1. Spot Price
This is the current global market price for pure (24k) gold per troy ounce.
2. Purity
We test your item to determine the exact fineness:
24K
22K
21K
18K
14K
10K
and all other variants
Using our ThermoFisher Niton™ DXL XRF Analyzer, we get precise, scientific purity readings in seconds — no guessing, no acid tests, no risk of damage.
3. Weight
Your item is weighed on a certified, calibrated scale.
4. Final Payout Calculation
We multiply purity × weight × spot price.
Then you get the highest cash payout based on that day’s market.
