Frequently asked questions
Simple answers. TipGoldVault is coming soon.
What is TipGoldVault?
TipGoldVault is a Canadian gold storage service. We keep physical gold coins and bars in insured, allocated storage at Loomis International vaults, each one legally owned by the respective user.
TipGoldVault never buys or sells gold. You buy and sell to the partner dealers, or directly with other owners who store with us. TipGoldVault is launching soon.
Who am I dealing with?
Each party has one role. TipGoldVault stores your gold and keeps the ownership record. Partner dealers are separate companies that buy and sell gold. In the Marketplace, you buy from or sell to another owner directly.
Is the gold real?
Yes. Gold can only be sold to partner dealers or other users on TipGoldVault while it remains in our storage facilities. Every coin and bar that changes hands has stayed in our vault, which is how we confirm that each product is genuine.
Why may it be cheaper?
Dealers have to add a markup when you buy and pay you less when you sell. This helps them pay salaries and run their business. In the Marketplace, you buy directly from another owner, without a dealer markup.
Each seller is the legal owner of their gold and sets their own price, so you may find prices dealers can't match. Prices are not guaranteed. Examples on this site are illustrative, not live quotes.
What does "today's gold price" mean?
Often called the spot price, it is what gold is trading for in the market today, before any dealer markup or fees. It changes throughout the day.
What is the Marketplace?
The Marketplace is where owners who store gold with us buy and sell directly with each other.
The seller is the legal owner of the gold, held in their own allocated storage, so the seller sets the price.
Is it safe to buy gold already owned by someone else?
Yes. The gold stays in insured, professional storage throughout. When a sale completes, it is transferred from the seller's allocated space to your allocated space in your respective vault's storage facility, and the ownership record is updated to your name.
What are the fees?
Marketplace: $9.99 for each buy or sell. Partner dealers: no TipGoldVault fee; dealer prices include the dealer's own margin. Storage: 0.0833% of your stored gold's value a month, with a minimum of $18 a month. Delivery: insured, with a delivery fee.
Do I have to store my gold?
No. You can have your gold delivered at any time. To sell it to partner dealers or in the Marketplace, it needs to remain in our storage.
What if no one buys my gold?
Partner dealers will always try to make you an offer. Terms apply.
And it is always your gold. You can keep it stored, or have it delivered home.
Can I get it delivered?
Yes, for a delivery fee. Every delivery is insured. Once delivered, gold can no longer be sold on TipGoldVault.
We encourage you to have your first coin delivered home. It arrives smaller than you pictured. Cold against your palm, then warm. Keep that one. It's where trust between you and TipGoldVault begins.
Do I pay sales tax?
Qualifying pure gold bars and coins are generally exempt from GST/HST in Canada.
Who owns the gold?
You do. The gold you store remains your legal property at all times. Each coin and bar is held in allocated storage and recorded in your name.
How do the 50 early access spots work?
The first 50 spots go to the people who invite the most friends. The more friends you invite, the sooner you get in.
How does the $18 work?
When a friend you invited starts storing gold with us after launch, you receive an $18 discount on storage charges. Storage starts at $18 a month. You can start inviting friends now, while we're on the waitlist.
I've never bought gold. Where do I start?
Start with our free lessons. Each takes about a minute and uses pretend money, so you can see how gold is bought, stored and sold before you spend anything. Try the lesson →
