Make The Economics Verifiable
Ask for exact retail and repurchase prices, all fees, the custodian and depository identities, and promotion terms in writing. If a company avoids giving transaction-level information, that is itself useful information for the comparison.
Customer service and education matter, but they should sit beside—not replace—pricing due diligence. A helpful representative can still be selling a product with a meaningful spread, and a low account fee can coexist with expensive metal pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Most Useful Dealer Question?
Ask for the exact retail price and what the dealer would pay to repurchase the same product today.
Is A Company Minimum An IRS Rule?
No. Dealer minimums are company policies, not federal IRA allocation requirements.
Are Reviews Enough To Choose A Dealer?
No. Reviews can inform service expectations but do not replace written pricing, custody, storage, and fee due diligence.
