Canada Gold experiences a jump in customer numbers as gold prices cross $2000/oz USD for first time in history

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2020 /CNW/ - Gold prices continue their historic gains this summer.  On August 4th, prices passed $2000 USD per ounce for the first time. The rise in price has led to record numbers of Canadians recycling their precious metals at Canada Gold, a network of gold dealers with retail locations in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax.  

Gold has a reputation as a safe-haven investment, and uncertainty in global markets has pushed prices to record levels.  The previous all-time high was set back in 2011, when gold briefly crossed $1900 USD/oz.  Gold prices were around $1450 USD/oz at this time last year.

"For people who have some old gold and silver lying around, this spike in prices can make a real difference. Our average customer selling gold jewelling is cashing in over $1300 and receiving $300 more than they would have received a year ago," said Tyler Whitmore, CEO of Canada Gold. "I encourage those thinking of selling their valuables to visit a reputable dealer to ensure a fair price." 

"Like many small businesses, we shut down retail locations and reduced hours and services due to COVID-19 in March.  We have now reopened, and our employees are proud to offer safe, personalized service – including sanitizing, physical distancing, and store capacity rules in place."  

Whitmore offered the following tips to consumers thinking of selling their gold jewellery and coins:

  • Check current gold and silver prices: Avoid buyers who do not post prices, to help ensure you're getting the most up-to-date value
  • Read the fine print: Some dealers advertise prices only for customers who sell more than $10,000 worth of gold.  Most customers would not qualify for these prices.
  • Know your weight: Make sure you know the weight of your items in grams before visiting gold buyers to ensure you understand their offer.
  • Avoid price ranges: Be wary of any gold buyer who gives you price ranges but refuses to commit to a specific price.

"If you would like more tips for selling gold, visit CanadaGold.ca, give us a call at 1-888-219-7001 or visit one of Canada Gold's locations in person to speak to an expert," continued Whitmore. "Education is your best protection."
