The problem it solves
Provides a source of quality gold for jewelers at competitive prices, while offering investors a chance to buy gold at lower rates than the market.
How it makes money
One-time purchase with profit derived from the resale of gold at market price.
Skills you need
Understanding of gold valuation, negotiation skills, and market trends.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of online gold trading platforms, like BullionVault, allows for easier access to buying and selling gold bars. A practical first step for a gold flipping business is to join the r/Gold subreddit, where members frequently discuss market trends and seek sellers. However, the initial capital outlay for purchasing gold bars can be substantial, posing a risk for new entrants who may face challenges in recouping their investment quickly.
