We are Buying ONLY SELECT Silver Until Further Notice

January 19, 2026

As of today we are now purchasing:

  • All silver bullion from LBMA certified makers.
  • 50 Ounce and smaller bullion from non-LBMA makers.

Our silver refining partners in Canada have temporarily frozen their payment mechanisms. This is a global issue in response to current market stressors. Elevated lease rates on silver have now made it impossible for Guardian to settle transactions under normal terms.

At this time we cannot purchase these silver products:

  • Jewellery
  • Silver flatware, tableware, and collectible items
  • Any Coinage
  • Non-LBMA certified makers bullion larger than 50 oz

These are temporary measures. Unfortunately, we cannot predict when circumstances will change, however, we will review this policy as conditions stabilize. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Why Guardian Doesn’t Negotiate When You Sell Your Gold, And Why That’s Good for You

Why Guardian Doesn’t Negotiate When You Sell Your Gold, And Why That’s Good for You

Leave negotiating behind and sell your gold hassle free.

One of the questions we occasionally hear from new customers is:

“Is your offer negotiable?”

At Guardian Gold, the answer is simple: our goal is to provide the strongest, most competitive offer from the very beginning.

Rather than starting with one price and negotiating from there, we’ve built our business around transparency, efficiency, and fair market pricing. Here’s why our process is different when you sell your gold.


Pricing Based on Live Market Conditions

Every offer we make starts with the same foundation, the current live market price of gold.

From there, we determine the value of your material based on two factors:

  • Its purity
  • Its weight

Using professional testing equipment and certified scales, we’re able to accurately determine the precious metal content of every lot we purchase.

Because our process is based on measurable data rather than guesswork, every valuation begins with an objective assessment.


Our Business Model Eliminates the Need for Negotiation

Guardian Gold purchases and processes large volumes of precious metals every day.

This allows us to operate efficiently and keep our margins consistent across every transaction.

We know negotiating is a pain and often makes for an uncomfortable selling experience, so instead of building negotiation into our pricing, we focus on providing a competitive offer from the outset. Whether you’re selling a single gold chain or a large commercial lot, our goal is the same: to offer a fair price based on the value of your precious metals.

We believe customers should never feel like they need to negotiate simply to receive a fair valuation.


No Hidden Fees

One concern many gold sellers have is whether unexpected deductions will reduce their final payment.

At Guardian Gold, we believe every customer should understand exactly how their valuation is calculated.

We explain:

  • The purity of your gold
  • The weight of your material
  • The current market price
  • How your final offer is determined

Our goal is complete transparency from start to finish, so there are no surprises once you decide to sell your gold. Additionally, to help set your expectations you can visit our scrap calculator page to find out the estimated value of your gold.

Accuracy Is Everything

Every piece of gold we purchase is professionally tested using XRF technology after being processed.

The material is melted and assayed to verify its combined purity. This ensures we’re paying for the actual precious metal content and eliminates uncertainty caused by plated items, mixed alloys, or filled jewellery.

That commitment to accuracy protects both our business and our customers, creating confidence in every transaction when you sell your gold.


Building Long-Term Relationships

Many of our clients, from individual sellers to jewellery stores, pawn shops, and estate dealers; return to Guardian Gold because they know what to expect.

They know we’ll provide:

  • Transparent valuations
  • Competitive pricing
  • Professional service
  • Clear communication
  • A straightforward selling experience

For us, every transaction is an opportunity to build a long-term relationship based on trust.


Final Thoughts

Selling your gold shouldn’t involve uncertainty or complicated negotiations.

At Guardian Gold, we’ve developed a transparent process that allows us to provide competitive pricing from the start, backed by professional testing and live market data.

Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or you’re one of our long-standing commercial partners, you can expect the same commitment to fairness, transparency, and exceptional service every time you sell your precious metals.a fair and transparent offer.
