1000 oz Silver Good Deliver Wholesale Bars

1,000 oz Good Delivery wholesale silver bars

With BullionVault you buy silver bullion in this large-bar format.

As demonstrated above there is a better way to buy silver than in coin and small bar form. Using BullionVault you can buy AND sell silver at wholesale prices.

Open an account today with just your name, email, username and a password to take advantage of our low commissions that start at 0.5% and fall quickly on larger quantities, meaning you’ll pay a maximum of 1% roundtrip compared to about 30% if you bought and then sold a small bar or coin from a retail dealer.

That wholesale price – also known as the 'spot price' – is the price for buying or selling silver in the form of large, 1,000oz (31.1kg) bullion bars. These large bars are the size and format the professional market deals in. All small bars and coins are made by melting and re-casting these large bars into smaller units.

BullionVault gives you access to the professional market. You buy bullion in this same large-bar format at prices close to the spot price, avoiding the additional manufacturing costs, dealer mark-ups and VAT or sales-tax of buying coins. You don't need to buy a whole bar to benefit from these savings. You can buy from as little as 1 gram and up to a tonne or more.

To see the potential cost savings, compare the online price of any silver coin you're thinking about with the price you would pay for the same amount of silver using BullionVault.
