Bulk bullion buyers face a unique challenge: how to buy large quantities of gold at the lowest possible price without sacrificing quality or ethics. At Congo Rare Minerals, we specialize in wholesale gold. We help businesses, funds, and high-net-worth investors navigate bulk purchases smoothly. Below, we outline how to secure the best deals on gold bars and why Congo Rare is your ideal wholesale partner.
Why Buy Gold in Bulk?
Buying gold in larger volumes unlocks significant savings and strategic benefits:
- Volume Discounts: Just like shopping at wholesale prices, larger gold orders come with lower per-kilogram rates. As industry experts note, purchasing gold “in bulk allows you to take advantage of wholesale prices… customers can get even lower prices per ounce”. At Congo Rare, for example, 1kg bars cost $65,000 each, but if you order 100kg or more, the price drops to $55,000 per kg – a savings of nearly $10,000 per kilo.
- Efficient Allocation: If your goal is asset preservation or hedging large liabilities, holding gold in bulk bars is efficient. One 100kg order is easier to manage than 1,000 smaller bars.
- Priority Handling: Wholesale clients often get personalized service and priority processing. Congo Rare assigns a sales manager to bulk orders, ensuring faster quotes and dedicated support.
- Better Negotiation: When ordering at scale, you have leverage to negotiate terms, financing, or payment plans. We’re open to discussing flexible terms for large orders (e.g. staged deliveries, escrow arrangements).
In short, for investors or institutions moving big sums, buying wholesale maximizes buying power. A $100,000 order might get one cashier’s check, whereas a $10 million order can save enough money to fund other investments.
Tips for Securing the Best Wholesale Deal
- Choose a Reputable Supplier: Look for a licensed, experienced gold supplier. Congo Rare Minerals is fully licensed and compliant with international mining laws. Our clients consistently rate us as a trustworthy wholesale gold supplier. 60% of millennials in the U.S. now include gold in their portfolios, showing rising demand – but only from providers who guarantee authenticity and ethics.
- Verify Purity and Certification: Always insist on .9999 fine gold bars with LBMA Good Delivery status. If a 1kg bar isn’t marked 99.99% purity, pass. Congo Rare’s products are assayed and stamped for 99.99% purity. We can provide LBMA certification for our refinery. For every purchase, ask for assay certificates – we include these as standard documentation.
- Understand Pricing Tiers: Most bullion dealers publish quantity discounts. Ask up front about tiered pricing. For example, we post live prices and quantity tiers: a single 1kg bar is $65k, but a cart of 20 or 100 bars triggers discounts. Also inquire about additional savings: some dealers (including Congo Rare) offer cash or wire payment discounts, and negotiable rates for orders >$100k.
- Inspect Logistics: Gold is heavy and valuable. Confirm the supplier’s shipping and insurance procedures. Congo Rare provides fully insured, end-to-end logistics. In fact, every Congo Rare shipment is covered by trusted insurance. We can handle customs paperwork, courier tracking, and even arrange vault delivery if needed.
- Check Supplier Terms: Review payment terms, authentication return policies, and delivery guarantees. Congo Rare requires payment before shipping, but we support diverse methods (wire, crypto, etc.) and have strong security to protect your funds and data. Note that for security reasons, we do not accept returns on gold bars – this is industry standard – but we guarantee all bars are as specified.
- Negotiate Relationships: If you plan repeat buys, discuss opening an account or appointing a sales rep. Large dealers often offer account managers who can pre-set pricing formulas or alert you to market dips. At Congo Rare, clients ordering multiple tons can negotiate locked-in prices or scheduled shipments.
Wholesale Pricing at Congo Rare Minerals
To give a concrete example of bulk pricing, here’s our current structure:
- 100g Bars (Retail Quantity): $8,000 per bar ($80/gram). We sell these to retailers or small investors.
- 1kg Bars (Standard Bulk): $65,000 each. This reflects a discount vs. retail gold coin prices, and is ideal for many investors.
- Bulk 100kg+ Orders: $55,000 per kg. When your order is that large, we move to our best “floor” price.
These rates include full assay certification and global shipping. As soon as you reach each volume threshold, the savings kick in. (Contact our sales team to get an official pro forma invoice for any size order.)
