Its basically a grift. Remember "Cash for Gold"?
"We will send you an envelope, then you put in your gold and send it to us and we send you a check!"
That was literally all there was to it. Nobody even asked how much they'd be paid, they just dutifully sent in their gold and were sent a check for a small fraction of its actual value.
That's what 'we buy gold' places do, too. When gold gets high, their margins are enough that someone can be happy getting $114 for ring the buyer can send into the refiner and get $259, that day
