In these rough economic times more and more people are moving their investment portfolios away from stocks and bonds, and putting that money into precious metal bullion such as gold and silver. But most people don’t know how to get started. A broker will tell you that it is very hard to do unless you want to buy gold and silver coins, but that is not the case. Buying and selling gold is easier than you think and it can be done online.
There are two ways to buy gold online. There is a market called Nucleo Exchange where you can buy gold, but have the market middle man, company Bullion Direct hold the gold until you sell it or request physical delivery. This allows you to buy and sell real gold without having it physically on hand. The benefit is you own the gold unlike mutual funds or gold indexes, so you can resell it just like the stock market, or you can cash out and have the gold delivered straight to your house.
The second option is to buy and sell the gold directly. The largest market for that is eBay. Thousands of new gold listings are put up every day, and you can buy bullion, bars, coins and even gold nuggets. The prices mirror market prices, but sometimes the clever buyer can get gold for below market price through eBay’s unique bidding system.

If you use either of these strategies it is important you know the current gold oz price. GoldPerOunce.net provides real time gold prices, and a free gold value calculator. This calculator takes the real time gold price and converts ounces and grams into their true market value, helping you make smart investment decisions when buying and selling your gold.
