With the price of gold getting higher everyday, now is the time anybody with a good strategy can make a profit buying and selling gold. At the time of this article, gold has broken the all-time high market price set some 27 years ago. Being able to realize that the price of gold will eventually decline to normal standards, now is a great time to learn how to profit from this trend.

I am sure by now you are wondering, how can an average person make a profit in a market dominated by the big boys? In this article I will give you some basic strategies I use to make extra money buying and selling. Keep in mind that your individual success will depend on a number of factors and there is no guarantee you will make a profit. If you have a good strategy and you are committed to the process, you can definitely be successful. Anything worth having is worth working for.

The first and most important factor is that you must have a particular amount of money to get started with. I would suggest you have a minimum of $1000. You will need at least this much to begin your buying process in order to make a worthy profit for your effort. The next step is to decide how you will find people willing to sell you their gold. I started out with a classified ad in the local newspaper. You will be amazed at how many initial responses I got to this ad. The key to a good classified ad is how well it is written that will prompt the reader to act. I have also began using numerous other strategies I will discuss in later articles.

Another important factor is having the proper testing equipment to make sure you are buying real gold. I have seen many people make the mistake of buying gold they thought was real only to realize it wasn't. This is a subject that actually needs a more in-depth explanation. I will write an entire article on this subject if this article generates enough interests.

The next part of your strategy is to determine how much you will receive for your gold. Since gold is a commodity traded on the New York Stock Exchange, this information is readily available. You will need to know how much to pay for your gold in order to make a profit. I will also write an article later on this subject because I can give you the best places to coins for fast profits.

Here are some thoughts you will need to build your strategy prior to engaging in this endeavor. You will need to know how much pawnshops are paying people for their gold because this is the market you will be going after. People have numerous ways they can dispose of gold, but the main ingredient for them to sell it to you is that you will provide fast cash in desperate times at competitive prices. Pawnshops, coin dealers and gold buyers all provide this very important feature many people need to liquidate their gold fast. You will also have to be mobile. This will give you an advantage over the competition because many of them will not offer consumers this feature. I will also need to write an entire article on how to interpret whether a person is worth your time to deal before using resources that may lead to a dead end.

In closing, I have only touched on basic information that will lead you down the road to profits. Each part of your strategy must be well developed. You will need to learn as much as you can about gold and how to sell it fast once you buy it. You could also use this strategy to buy it cheap and hold it if you think the price will continue to rise. Whatever you choose to do, it should be well thought out.
