Common questions,
honest answers.

All bullion prices are pegged to live spot, refreshed continuously throughout the trading day. Your price is locked at the server-side spot snapshot captured the moment you submit your order — not the moment you added the item to your cart.

No. New Jersey exempts investment-grade precious-metals bullion from state sales tax. Orders ship at 0% tax. Numismatic and collectible items may be taxed in some jurisdictions.

Yes. We deal exclusively in bullion from LBMA Good Delivery refiners and major sovereign mints (US Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Royal Mint, Perth Mint, PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and others).

Yes — in-store pickup is free during business hours. Bring a government-issued ID matching the order name.

Up to 98% of the assayed fine-weight melt value on qualifying lots. Because we refine in-house with on-site smelting and XRF assay, there is no middleman taking a slice. Final payouts depend on purity, lot size, and current spot.

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive test that identifies the exact metal composition of an item without melting or scratching it. It gives both sides an instant, defensible read on purity — eliminating "trust me" pricing on the counter.

Every intake is weighed on a Mettler Toledo certified scale, sealed by New Jersey Weights & Measures. Witnessed weigh-ins are available on request for high-value lots.

Same business day for most accepted offers. Lots requiring on-site smelting are settled after the post-melt assay is finalized — typically the same business day for standard lots, next business day for very large refining runs.

Yes. Bayshore runs a dedicated dealer program for jewelers, pawn shops, estate firms, and smaller dealerships across NJ, NY, PA, and CT. Approved accounts quote against the posted rate sheet — no haggling tables, no shifting markups.

A valid government-issued photo ID for the principal(s), a federal EIN or state-issued business tax ID, a resale certificate or precious-metals dealer license where applicable, and a brief lot-profile so we can calibrate settlement. Approval typically lands inside 72 hours.

Andrew. One account manager handles the relationship end-to-end — documentation, approval, quoting, settlement, and follow-up. No round-robin call queue, no hand-offs.

Wire, business check, or Zelle — your choice. We do not use Stripe, Square, PayPal, or any other card processor for buyback settlement. Zero hold periods, zero processor fees taken from the agreed number.
